To a teachers college this is one of the most important clubs in the school. The Future Teachers of America is a club which is working earnestly to provide students with much-needed aids in their future profession. Your editor attended this club at the last meeting for the first time. He was at once impressed by the capable way in which Herbert Cohn managed the meeting and with the attention of the audience. After an inspirational musical numbe. by Mrs. Fisher, fessor Stillwell addressed the group, stressing the need for America to awaken to the dire situation of war and fifth column activity within hei And then came what, to i prise of the evening, when Di. i iiui, Directoi Training School, made an imj ouipcu speech, inat speech is what inspired this editorial. I have heard Dr. Smith make many speeches—speehes which were prepared beforehand. But I have never heard him make such a speech as he prepared that night in five minutes and made in ten. Dr. Smith proved to me the importance of the Future Teachers of America. He said in this institution are being trained young men and young women who, out of all the masses of the nation's youth, will play the most important role in our country's destiny. In the hands of the new teachers will be the responsibility of trainuqgyounj^Amencans into loyal citizens. "These children must be made to realize what the flag means, what freedom means, what to be an American means. He went on to say that within our hands lay the power to so wield and mold young lives that America would live and be free forever. Schoolhouses by all means, he said, should be graced with an awe- inspiring and beautiful flag to forever remind us of the grandeur of our country and of the freedom that is ours. Young minds should be so inspired by that flag that no dictator, be he ever so powerful, could wrest what others have already fought and died for. That flag should become a symbol to teachers, students, and to everyone that is free, clean, and good. "In our hands," said Dr. Smith in closing, "lies the future happiness of the youth of the world's mightiest nation. It is up to us to create in those young minds the appreciation of the fact that' the air we breathe, the freedom we enjoy, the friends we love,—in short, our America. So long as the spirit of fredom lives and there is a drop of fighting blood left —we'll never die. Let Hitler come." That is why we should join the Fulux of America. This college has as its purpose the education of youth at a nominal cost. This policy is d prop- i'housands of dollars could be savt tie stu- hrough thi if the col: uld act as a book exchange and buy second hand books from lis, and from book com; which it this field, and resell these books at a nominal e students. ;ien station on our campus and buy textbooks at about one-eighth to one-fourth the original price. A new book of this same type must be ordered later and sold to the student. A clearing house wi books could be placed by students and sold on a percentage basis would serve the pupil interests.

She has helped all of us with our grades, records, hours, and other problems we happen to have on our minds. She is a busy person; yet she always has time to help. Miss Beam doesn't ask much in return from the students. She does her work patiently and well. Her patience on registration day is remarkable. She has 500 raw-nerve"d students to deal with. Each of these students wants special privileges, special courses, records straightened out, courses changed, and numerous other things. Each student has only one record to straighten out, but Miss Beam has 500. She even knows most of our case histories without looking up the records. Miss Beam is one of those workers behind the scenes. She is thought of when she is needed, and few of us realize her responsibilities at any other time. However, we all know she is forever busy and have to hand it to her for doing a good job.
