By   Michigan    Teachers—
—What Teachers May Do
and May Not Do.
" Mldhlgan school teachers "are to
bave a code of ethics that will become
the "bible"* of the teaching profession
in this state, if the plan of the Michfc
gan State Teachers*' association Is followed. A committee some time ago
was appointed to dyafV % tentative
code and -this now i<3 ready for submission to the teachers; The code
has the following rules;
A teacher should actively affiliate
with professional ' orgapizatlons. of
teachers. -     '   " . ■;.*.-
A clear undfcrstii*nding of the law of
contracts Is: incumbent upon a- teacher. Since & teacher should scrupulously keep whatever agreement Is
made, he should refuse to sign a contract tinjust and humiliating In .form.
It is unprofessional for a teacher to
resign unless his contract provides for
release on giving proper notice.
It Is unprofessional for a teacher to
sign a yearly contract to teach for a
■wage that is not sufficient to   coyer
living expenses for twelve months.
" It is unprofessional for a teacher to
underbid, knowingly, a rival in order!
to obtain a position.   It is expected!
that a teacher vfill verify a rumor of j
j-rpancy. before filing an application.
■f^ja   graded   school   an   application
' ^o&uld be filed with the superintendent.
It is unprofessional for a teacher to
Interefere In any way in matters of
discipline between another teacher
ahd pupil.    .
It is unprofessional for a teacher to
bear tales to the administration- about'
another teacher. However, it should)
be considered as unprofessional not
to report to tho administration matters that involve the best interests
and well-being of the school.
It Is unprofessional for a teacher to
remain in a system and not to cooperate with the administration of the
system. Those in authority should
be given the benefit of a doubt in matters of policy.
It is unprofessional for a teacher to
tutor^ pupils of his own classes for remuneration, except by special permission of the school' authorities.
It is unprofessional for a teacher to
ahsent himself from school or to call
in or allow the use of a substitute, except for serious illness or for other
grave  reasons?.
It is unprofessional for a teacher to
measure his duties or responsibilities
to the pupils, to the school, or to the
community, In"*terms of financial rewards.
Since the teachers rightly are regarded as examples to pupils, a teacher should so conduct himself that no
just reproach may be brought against
him. Where liberty of conscience is
not concerned, a teacher should stand
ready to make personal sacrifice, because of the prejudices of a community.
*i It Is' unprofessional for teachers to
criticize predecessors in the presence
of pupils or patrons. Such procedure
tends to injure the school and to
weaken the confidence in which the
work of teaching is held by the public.
Teachers should be ready at all
times to assist one another by giving
information, counsel and advice, and
by such services and acts as teachers
can perform without detriment to
themselves or their work. Such reasonable services should be regarded
as a professional duty for which remuneration beyond actual expenses
should not be accepted.
No teacher should become involved
in any dispute or factional difference
indigenous to the community in which
he is working.
It is unprofessional for any teacner
to arouse or to seek to arouse among
fellow-teachers, a spirit of antagonism
toward another teacher, a principal,
or the superintendent.
It is unprofessional for any teacher
* to recommend to 'any school board
another teacher for a definite position
unless the position has been officially,
legally and conclusively declared vacant.
' William Fogleson was burned to
death in Mb home at Leota Friday
morning when the building took fire
from some Unknown cause and burned
to the ground, the map was a helpless
paralytic. Mrs. Fogleson started to
walk to Harrison to transact' some
business, leaving her husband, with a
boy and cautioning the latter not to
make any fire. .When part way to
town she was overtaken by Charles
Dowland, of Leota; in a car and he
broke the news to her that the house
was discovered to be in flames too
lite to save Mr. Fogleson.—Clarja

SPRING 1923.
Miss Spring comes tripping cautiously,.
As most yoUng maiden should,'    .
Whi.le rough  old Winter    sits    and
growls' . *
I'd shake you It .I could.
But as Spring trips'lightly onward
She smiles her sweetest smile,   ,
And seem to say—just follow   me   a
little while, ,
Still rough old Winter lingers
To hamper Spring's sweet grace,
While she with; magic beauty, tries
To cheer his sad old face.
You've had your day of skates and skis
You're heard the sleigh bell's ring,
Give me a chance'to flirt a bit,
And hear the Robins sing.
Give me a chance to air my wings,
For I leaie beauty in my wake,
My breath beatira the daintiest flowers
And lures   the   gloomiest'  wooded
bowers,
My beauty to partake.
Their most becoming gowns they flaunt
And air them to the breeze,
What joy and beauty there abounds,
Ip buds and flowers and trees,
Good bye, .Old Winter.
Summer dear,—Here take my treasures rare,
From God to me; A gift to you
I place them in your care.     >

GREAT DEMAND FOR
FORDSON TRACTORS
IN TWO BIG FIELDS.
Both agriculture and industry are
making increasing demands for the
Fordson tractor.
While the use of the Fordson as a
farm implement is extending in every
agricultural section of the country as
farmers come to realize the advantage
and economy of power farming, a most
noticeable feature of the sales is the
growing use of this sturdy and dependable power plant in industraland
commercial activities.
Contractors and builders are everywhere adapting the Fordson to meet
their needs of power, either movable
or stationary, and road engineers thru5-
out the country are specifying its use
with highway construction machinery.
To m6et this growing demand for
Fordson tractors production is now
at capacity and for the .first three
months of the year reached a total
of 27,087 as compared with 8,340 for
the same period a year ago.

BABY CLINIC RE-
PORT CONTINUED.
> On Mother's day come memories
O! her, and all the bygone years,
When she would gently comfort me
And soothe my childish fears.
When older grown she'd counsel me
And say no matter what my fame,
She wanted me to be a man,
And play an honest game".
So when the Lord of Earth and Heaven—
Who surely doeth all things well—
With beckoning hand my mother, called,
To come with him to dwell.
She left a last and loving word,   *
Before she crossed the tid.eless sea,
'Twas, "Darling, be a good, true man;
My blessing rests on thee."
She fearless stepped into the waves—
Those waters deep, and dark, and wide—
Where Death stands waiting by one shore,
And Life the other side.
So blinded were we by despair,
We failed to sense the mighty power
That bore her calmly o'er the flood,
Or gift, she left as'ours.
In after years when wand'ring far
In careless ways, and Bin was near,
Through darkened halls, of Memory,
Again her voice 1 hear.
"Have you be»n strong and pure, my boy,
And bravely lived a life that's true?
Let thiB yonr constant comfort be,
That mother prays for you."
And may the God who rules in heaven,
Help me to guide my feet aright,
That on the resurrection morn,
I'll meet her in the light.
Oh, may her prayerB all answered be,
And ere I leave this world of care,
Would I could send a word to her,
And tell her, "I'll be there."

SEVENTH AND EIGHTH
GRADE EXAMINATION
Among the offers of different
banks to, purchase the pavement borfds
of this city, the one advanced by the
Citizens State Bank was thoroughly
investigated and accepted at the regular meeting of the City Council Monday.
This bank placed a bid al 5 3-4 per
cent on the five year term bonds, and
are to stand the expense of the printing of the bonds, the attorney's fee,
and all other expense connected therewith, together with paying- 4 per cent
interest on daily balances of moneys
not used.
* This is claimed to be the best deal
ever made by city officials in disposing of city bonds as in reality the
expense assumed by the bank would
bring the interest down to 5 1-2 per
cent.

In the gentle sound of the old Pacific,
There is something almost beautlfic,
And with gentle roar, it laps the shore
When the tide is low   and   the   soft
winds blow
As with mighty roar   it   lashes   the
shore
When the tide is high arid the breakers fly.

I called on the Blain's recently; they

it should be guarded "jealously.
Some persons will not be satisfied

On one of my recent trips to the oil
fields I met Lew Campbell. Hetol,d
me that he used to live at Farwell.
His family is living at Long Beach.
He has* a welding shop at the oil fields

California is an ideal state in which
to rear children. Social environment
here .is excellent, the climate is conducive to out door life and robust
health, the scenery inculcates love of
nature, and opportunities inspire the
•young to strive ambitiously and to
make, the most of life. In a word,
living in California is real living.
Preserve your calm while others rave,
And show your heart is strong' and
brave.
