TEACHERS PENSIONS GRANTED
 IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

The most important piece of legislation affecting the life of the school teachers for many days is the knowledge that New Hampshire joined the roll of states grant ing teachers pensions, by the passing of an act providing for the payment of an- nuities out of the state treasury without contribution by the teachers themselves.
 If Alabama feels it is impossible to make any such provision for teachers grown old in the service, surely the teach CTS themselves should organize some kind of plan to provide for the time when they may have outgrown their usefulness in this field.
 Serious consideration should be given this matter and after some debate among the teachers a plan be outlined. Pro- vide a fund for the rainy day. until the state is able, like New Hampshire. to undertake such provision itself.
 Work along this line may hasten the day for such legislation.

Although 1 did not tell Dick, what
he told me made me worry very much
about MoIlie, for know her youthful
enthusiasm and also knew that she
would not consider herself at all
where Mr.. Hatton was concerned.
The game of fighting for what she
thought was right would appeal to
her in any case, but to fight under
command of her boss" as captain
meant that she would sacrifice any
thing to win and count it glory.
l could see that Dick was in a
hurry to get away to the Office and
talk matters over with Mr.. Selwin, =
and so did not say any more about
MOIlie or any of the home affairs, al
though 1 needed the hundred dollars
very much that I had given him and 1
also wanted to tell something Aunt
Mary had innocently disclosed Of
Mary.
Perhaps, however, it was just as
well, for / am not sure that Dick
would understand that a boy like
Max Pendleton might be very much
in love with a woman older than he
and that if the woman was a good
woman like Mary his first love affair
would be a beautiful experience for
him that he would remember and
reverence through life.
Aunt Mary asked me most inno-
Gently last night when we arrived
home: who is that nice boy, Max
Pendleton, that is so charming to
Mary? He came over in his car last
night and stayed a few minutes and
then said he was going to walk to his
home and leave the car for her. He
would let her make no objections,
and it seems to me that Mary took
the car more to keep him from urg-
ing her than because she wanted it.
At the very last she asked me to ride
with her and sent me back home. He
is a nice boy, Margie"

OUR OWN COUNTRY

John Wanamaker is uOt only the
nations greatest exponent Of adyer-
tising but he is a loyal citizen OF the
United States, and sometimes, when
he has not so much to say in MS
space concerning his wares, he talks
on interesting topics. A peculiar IN
terest attaches TO the space he pur'
chases, for that reason.
On the 18th OF this month he used
some OF his space to tell the people
something Of the United States. The
following statement is taken from
his advertisement:
GREATNESS OF THE UNITED
STATES
The United States covers consid'
erably less than six per cent of the
earth's area, and contains only five
per cent of the earth's population, but
Official records show that the United
States produce:
76 per cent OF all the corn
grown in the entire world
20 per cent OF all the cotton
62 per cent OF all the oil
50 per cent OF all the copper
43 per cent of all the pig iron
81 per cent OF all the coal
81 per cent OF all the tobacco
26 per cent OF all the Silver
"a per cent Of all the wheat
q per cent OF all the gold
and contain more thaI
80 per cent of all the wealth
in the civilized wcrld."
The puzzle Of it all Is this: How
can a man live in this country and bt
dissatisfied He is not driven to war
he is permitted to remain at peace
his home is protected, and he hal
equal access in keeping With the abil
ity he has developed, to all th'
wealth mentioned in the Wanamake

TEACHING THE ADULT
IMMIGRANT
y {. - :: :: (. :" . :: :: " " " {" -

The necessity of teaching the adult
immigrant how to speak English as
soon as possible after his arrival Is
emphasized by II. II. Wheaton OF the
T. s. bureau of education in report
Just made public.
"With the adult immigrant desire
for instruction and ability to acquire
language are largely lost says Dr.
Wheaton. yet inability to speak Eng
Ilish is the most serious barrier to in
tercourse between Americans and for
eigners. Furthermore, employers are
coming to see the necessity of teach
ing their foreign-born employees the
English language and something of the
rules of safety Experience shows
that a large proportion of industrial
accidents are due to the fact that for
eigners have not understood the orders
of the foremen. A canvass OF many
employers pf foreign-born working
men indicates that knowledge of
English is urgently needed. This IS
particularly true of railroads, steel
plants. and foundries."
In eight of the principal cities of the
United States, according to DR..
Wheaton, the number of foreign-born
adults unable to speak English totals
over 100000. New York alone has
422, 900
The types of schools adapted to the
| education of the immigrant are even
ing, industrial, and camp schools.
THE number of classes provided by
different cities" declares DR.. Wheaton
lis far from adequate Appropria-
tions are insufficient to provide the
I requisite teaching. Failure to appre-
ciate the need of increase in accom-
modations is shown by the fact that
19 cities in the state of New York,
with a population of 10000 to 10000,
and with the foreign-born population
varying from 1000 to 1000. have no
public night classes were immigrants
can learn the English language
DIR. Wheaton finds that private and
religious agencies have largely sup
plemented the inadequate provisions
made by the state to teach adult i'm.
migrant English and American laws
and customs.
