There were thirty seven appli-
cants at the Teachers Examination
last week. This sounds like a
good number but when one consi-
ders the fact that several were tran
sients and whose credits are to be
returned to their home county, and
that many of the applicants were
writing for the first time thus in
creasing the possibilities for a
greater number of failures, it APP
pears that there will be a consider
able shortage of teachers this fall.
School officers should take steps at
once to secure a teacher for the
coming year, if they desire their
school to begin promptly in the
fall.

The Press Dakotan commenting
on the recent destruction by fire of
the girls dormitory, of Yankton
College deplores the fact that this
incident proved the contention
that Yankton has poor fire p~retec-
ton. We are disqualified by rea-
son of non-residence to say any
thing in this respect, but aside of
agreeing with the Press, we would
further suggest that all dormitor-
les should be fre-proof buildings.
There are good reasons for this.
Had the fire occurred in the night
time when all were asleep there is
every reason to believe that many
lives would have been lost even if
Yankton had the very best fight
ing apparatus and a fire company
drilled to perfection The new
Dakin hall we hope will be fire
proof.

Dick Is perfectly furious with
Jack IL seems that he has not
turned over the e1.s00 to him
yet. and he has decided 20 lend ft
TO his father instead and let Mas
ter Jack Iook out for himself.
Dear old Dad is very angry. too.
and he had to be persuaded to
take Jack into the store-even as
q clerk. And the worst of II all Is
that not even Mary has seen Jack
for twenty-four hours.
Dick lost his temper while
talking with me about II. and con-
seaUentiy he lost his sense of jus
tiee.
"If Jack hadn't been such a fool
as to let the girl rope him into
marriage, Dad and l could easily
dispose of him." he said.
This remark fired me to re-
tort: "Dfckl you, who have seen
that loving little woman over
there at the hospital, can't by any
posi- bility believe that she DELHI
erately roped him into MARRIAGE
You know you are trying to find
some excuse for Jacks thought
lessness and general worthless
behavior"
but she ought not to have ac-
cepted him." answered Dick, rath-
er weakly.
The idea of him saying this
made me absolutely furious. "Oh.
of course not! She should have
either given herself to him with
out marriage or else denied her
love and what she thought was
her chance of happiness. so that
when the time came for him to
make an all-around fool of him
self he could get off from paying
the penalty he so richly deserves.
Dick, you still have that in
born masculine idea that a woman
is the one who must make the
sacrifiees-who must deny not
only your desires. but her own.
eff Mary had NOT married
Jack. yod would have called her a
'hussy' and said she helped him
on his downward course; and now,
because she DID marry him, you
sav that she inveigled him into
It."
Here! here! you red-headed
spitfirel" said Dick, with a
laugh. as he pulled me over to him
and kissed me. Nobody need say
that you don't stick mp for your
sex. Why-what makes you
draw away from me In that way?
Don't you want to kiss me?" he
asked.
Not when you have been
drinking. Dick" I answered.
He had the grace to blush, and
then he frowned as he said: My
dear, ! had only a cocktail with
Bill Tenney and Jim Eide as I
came mp. You are not going to
be so narrow as to object to ONE

Dear Miss Grey: In order
to settle a dispute, would
like to know If the United
States is In debt to any for
eign country, or has what is
called a national debt, and IL
not, how long have We been
out of debt?
Please answer through
daily paper.
Yours most respectfully,
L. G.. S.
A nation Is not usually In
debt to any country, but to the
big money holders of the world
who buy the bonds, and i'm turn
sell them. The debt of the Unit.
ed States has not ben paid. In
fact, "A national debt is almost
never paid, and j am sorry to SAY
n eountry's wealth is usually
judged by the amount of its debt
Our war equipment, navy
standing army, ETC., Is the causs
of the greater part of the national
debt, and the sooner the nations
decide TO settle disputes by arbi
tration the sooner the debt will bs
liquidsted, and the drain on ths
people diminished.
