belief Is held here that the campaign

Austrians and Germans would then have
to resort to defensive measures against

are particularly strong and have been
concentrated everywhere. even along the
Damatian coast. which is already pro-

quarters here, for while the announce

of another powerful nation to the num-
Der of belligerents brought out a
variety of speculation on the possible
attitude of Roumania, Bulgaria and
Greece.
Up to late hour tonight the Ital-

of war by Italy, but officials began
the preparation of a neutrality proc

the United States government in ac-

country. Will announce a state of war With
Italy. Switzerland then will look after
German interests in Rome while the Uni

1t has been stated in reliable quarters
that should Roumania enter the war on

RURAL TEACHERS ANA.
TEURS.
Majority Have No Intention to Stay
Long In Profession,


Figures collected by the United States
bureau Of education show that tho rural
public schools OF the country are taught
largely by young unmarried people who
have no idea OF following teaching is
a profession" According to these fig.
ures the average age when teaching is
begun at nineteen years and the average
time devoted to the profession is only
six and half years.
The average time for a teacher to re-
main in any one school. according TO
Harold ". Foght. who compiled the
figures. is less than two years OF 40 DAYS
each This average Is really less for the
majority of teachers. and is raised to the
year figure by the few permanent pro-
fessional teachers alone" The conclu-
sons Of Mr. Foght are
so long as teachers continue to be
peripatetics the best result in community
leadership cannot be expected A change
from amateur to professional teaching in
the rural schools would be fastened BY
giving the teacher a salary that would
enable him to provide comfortably for
his family, and by compelling the COM
munity. through legal enactment. to erect
a teachers cottage in close proximity
to every school plant"
The compiler OF the bulletin made
special inquiries regarding the housing
OF teachers In rural communities. OF the
500 teachers who replied to the inquiry
only seventy-three lived in homes pro-
vided by the community. In these cases,
however. the bulletin says 1t is demon
strated that the providing Of such homes
makes the teacher community leader.
in the few communities reporting per
manent homes" says the bulletin, "the
teachers are usually able to project the
school into the home and draw the home
close to the school Where teachers cot
tages are provided, these aside from
making the teachers own lives more at.
