SLAUGHTER OF CHRISTIAN
ARMENIANS CONTINUES

A Russian Army Camp in Turkish
Armenia. Aug. l2.-The Russian ar
NY that is in pursuit of the elusive
Turks in this region have, at this
writing reached the Valley of the
Habur. an alluent of the Tigris, at
i point sixty miles south " Van.
On June 2, the right flank of the
Russian aorces engaged the Turks
under Hallid Bey, near the Tigris,
and fought until nightfall when the
Turks made off into darkness. The
Armenian volunteers, who are doing
some of the best fighting for the Rus
slams, began the battle at 8 o'clock
in the morning and sustained it alone
on open ground until noon whea
General rs cavalry from Sarai came
into action. The artillery was
brought up in the afternoon, but by
then Hallid Bey had taken a position
or inaccessible mountains, and since
then there has been no contact with
him.
Whatever may be true of atrocity
stories frCr other sources, it is cert
ainly fact that the warfare in Ar
men.a has resulted IN the killing of
more non-combatants than soldiers,
and it is doubtful if there is any 9th
er area in the world where the war
is so plainly a case of murder.

THE SCHOOL TEACHER

Under the patient guidance Of O.
teacher to whom self-sacriGce is q
daily commonplace, many a boy or
girl whose home" surroundings could
be productive Of nothing desirable
has been guided to views and aims
that make for good citizenship For.
whatever may be said of the progress
we are making in such matters as
courses Of study and grading, the fact
remains. says the Philadelphia North
American. that one of the most pO-
tent factors in the schooling of chill
dren is the personality of the teacher.
And when we come to a coutempla-
tion Of this phase of the matter. and
find the average teacher admirably
suited to her task it is impossible,
knowing how poorly this average
teacher is paid, to doubt that high
purpose actuates her in this work
Something of the same spirit which
causes a soldier gladly to die Tor his
country impels the school teacher to
live and work for her country
For this is what she is doing Her
country's greatest need at all times
is intelligence and ability, and such
ideals as shall lead 70 the making of
good homes and the building up Of 81
social fabric that insures justice and
equality of opportunity. What her
pupils get from books may be gotten
from books without a teacher AT hand
in many instances. But what they get
from their teacher in the way OF in
depreciation Of life's meaning. of char
acter and industry, cannot be given
save through the medium of an inter
ested personality.
So the school teacher stands out
as one OF the leaders in a democracy
Of the sort we are upbutlding in this
nation. By the average person her
power is not fully appreciated. Nor
does this average person appreciate
the work involved in making This
power effective.
More often than one realizes, she
Is she link between the possibility of
successful living and its achievement.
In countless cases hers IS the iufiu-
ence which changes potential failures
and worse--lnto positive forces for
personal and community advancement.
She is a vital source Of power in the
great machine which makes for hu-
man betterment
To rank her as a first aid 10 prog
ress is simply to acknowledge the
place she has Won for herself. And
TO treat and pay her on this basis is
a necessity which gradually is becom-
ing more and more potent to every
One.

GOVERNMENT AID TO BUSINESS

/ Of the bureau of foreign and domestic

his efficiency in the steel corporation

of European residence. He is author
itv for the statement that the Amerj-

chant marine, and improved bank

Of a government leadership as con
trasted with transforming methods. In
this one instance, at least. the govern
ment has shown up to advantage in an
emergency. It is the sort Of service
that there must be more of in the
future.
