PROFESSIONS CROWDED

State Superintendent of Public In
uction Alvan N. White is shocked
note that his office is receiving
.nerouL applications for positions
teachers of public schools from
men and women educated for the pro
fessions Doctors, lawyers, preachers
and mechanical engineers have signi-
fled willingness to accept positions
at $50 a month in out of the way
country places
Superintendent White looks upon
this condition of affairs as an indi-
cation that too many boys and girls
are being encouraged by their parents
to enter professions for which they
are not adapted, with the consequent
result that many fall far short of
success when they enter upon their
life work. He urges, and he has good
reason to do SO. that more young peo-
pie qualify themselves for farming
and the industries in which, if they
have no talent for the professions,
they are likely to be successful.
There is another side to the mat
ter, however, which is worthy of CON
sideration and tends to allay doubts
as to the future success of some Of
the young lawyers, physicians and
theologians who now are beseeehing
the state superintendent to furnish
them schools in order to purchase
meal tickets. How many successful
professional men of the present day
were not obliged to exc out scanty
living during the first few years after
their graduation by teaching school?
1t would be safe to say that over one
half of them faced such a situation.
And the ones who did eventually
found themselves better equipped for
the practice of their profession when
they were able to resume it.
School teaching seems to help to
qualify man or woman for nearly
any vocation in life. And the schools,
if they can command the Services as
teachers of highly educated young
men and women who are preparing
themselves for work in the higher
professions, are the gamers. 1t must
be remembered, however. that teach
ing is as much profession as that
of the doctor or lawyer and it will
not be until people enter it for life
s work that the best results will be OBJ
tained from the educational system.

ENGLISH BORE BRUNT
OF GERMAN ATTACKS
THE FIELD MARSHAL SAYS THE
FRENCH ARMY DI DLiTTlE
TO ASSIST HIM

London, Sept. 10.-The text OF the
rerort of Field Marshal Sir John
French. in command OF the British
forces in France, covering the British
operations since they landed in France
was made public today.
THE transportation of the troops
from England by rail and sea was eff
fected in the best order and without
a check. Concentration was pratical-
Ily completed on the evening of FIJI
day. August 81, and was able TO
make dispositions to move the force
Saturday to positions I considered
most favorable from which to COM
mence the operations which General
Joffre requested me to undertake
The line extended along the line OF
the canal from Conde on the west
through Mons and Binche on the east"
The report then tells of the retreat
before overwhelming German forces to
new position, resting on the fortress
of Maubeuge. 1t says:
"At night on the twenty-fourth
position was occupied by the Second
corps to the west of Bavay. The first
corps to the right. The right was pro-
tected by the fortress of Maubeuge,
the left by the Nineteenth brigade in
position between Jenlain and Bruay
and cavalry on the outer flank. The
French were still retiring and had
no support except such as was afford
ed by the fortress of Maubeuge, and
/ determined efforts of the enemy to
get around my flank assured me that
il was his intention to hem me
against that place and surround me.
"The retirement was recommended
in the early morning of the twenty
fifth to a position in the neighborhood
Of LeCateau, and the rear guard was
ordered to be clear of Maubeuge."
General French then describes the
continued retreat before the Germans,
the most critical day of the long bat
tie being August 26, The report says:
"On the twenty-fourth the French
cavalry corps, consisting of three di-
visions under General Sordet, had been
in Billets, north of Avesnes. On my
wav back from Bavay which was my
noste de commandments during the
fighting of the twenty-third and the
twenty-fourth, I visited General Sor-
dot and earnestly requested his CO.
operation and support. He promised
to obtain sanction from his army COM
mander to act on my left flank. but
said that his horses were too tired
to move before the next day.
although he rendered me valuable
assistance later on in the course OF
retirement, he was unable for the rea-
sons given to afford me any support
on the most critical day Of all, name
ly, the twenty-fourth.
"At daybreak it became apparent
that the enemy was throwing the bulk
of it's strength against the left of the
position occupied by the Second corps
and the Fourth division"

BRITISH EMBASSY TELLS
OF AFRICAN BATTLING
Declares German Raids Have Been
Frustrated-Russia En-
bassy's Advices.

Attempted German raids on British
protectorates in East Africa and de-
signs to cut the Uganda railway have
failed, according to a statement given
out at the British embassy here today,
which was cabled to Washington by the
colonial office. The statement follows:
During September there has been
considerable activity along Anglo
German boundary of East African pro-
tectorate. due to enemies attempts to
raid British territory and cut the
Uganda railway. All these attempts
have been repulsed and raiding parties
defeated in every case except one,
where an unimportant frontier station
is still held by a small German party.
Normal garrison of East Africa and
Uganda protectorates has been

war by strong body Of Indian troops
and also by mounted and unmounted
volunteer forces raised locally and no
anxiety is felt as to military situation:
Col Golejewski, military attache of
