COST THAT WILL STAGGER

The Iowa state board of health has
decided that quick and general action
ought to be taken to kill off the tuber-
culosis affected cattle. n thus stamp
out the disease. A committee OF the
board has reported on the dangerous
extent of the disease, and he secre-
tarv believes that one of the worst
conditions in the spread of the disease
is the fact tina many dairymen try
to keep the fac a secret II 1hey HaVe

they will continue to sell milk. thus

ing disease to households.
All this may be true doubtless it is
true beyond question. But the weak
ness Of the board of health lies IN
the embarrassing and hard-to-get-oVer
fact that it has no money. If 1T orders

paid for. There is one enough III

Norway. looking on the steadily in

Norwegians back to the home coun-

Young women of Norway have come

the volume of emigration has become
a national problem and an economic
nightmare. Colonel Magnus, the en-
voy or agent of the government, says
in an interview that a check upon
the tide of emigration is absolutely
essential to h life and continued
prosperity of Norway. 1t is h hope
of the Norwegian government that a
system of demonstrating as practiced
in the United States may induce many
Norsemen to return to their native
land.
Some few Norsernen may be induced
to return. Most of those will be among
the later arrivals and Of the older ones.
Men rarely entirely forget their ma
tive land. Norselnen never. But Col
onel Magnus is foredoomed to much
disappointment. The Norwegian fairly
settled in this country is no to be
moved. He is part of the American
life, a transplanted product that flour
ishes better in he new than in the
old soil. He finds. success easy here,

he acquires a home, the opportunities
that offer themselves to his children,

Here and there bright. active, en-
ergetic young men who are really very
successful teachers, turn their backs
upon the profession, because they con-
ceive the idea hat somehow the gen
eral public has no very exalted opinion
of their calling. But after all that Is
not the proper course to pursue.
They ought to turn to and make the
republic respect their calling. They
ought to put their chosen profession
upon the same level with that of the

that. Nobody can do that for the
teachers. They must claim their place
and occupy 1t.
And the first steps in that direction
would be the abolition of the method
of employing teachers and then the an
nual examinations. When a physician
obtains permission to practice, h a

perfect, but common sense tells us that
while practicing his profession he Is

that he will continue to increase in
knowledge and in the ability to serve
his clients, whereby he serves himself.
We have civil service now in the post
office, in our police and fire depart

wanted to engage his runners and his
