LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF THE WAR.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press

LODI, Poland, Jan. by no means
the least of the problems which the
Germans have to solve in Lodz Is the
school question. On their occupation
OF the city last December, the Ger
mans found hopelessly inadequate
school facilities. and shortage OF
teachers so great that 1t was out OF
the question to supply entirely the
deficiency from Germany.
The city has youthful population
OF some $4,000, and facilities for only
$4,000 pupils. Some 10000 of these
attend the Polish folk or common
schools, where they are instructed by
men who themselves have nothing
more than high school education,
and practically no pedagogical train
ing. The remaining 5000 attend pri-
yate schools, and come. of course,
from the better classes of the popula-
ton.
In all the Polish folk schools, which
are terribly overcrowded. there are
in all but $50 underpaid, lily prepared
teachers. Aside from the number OF
children who attend the public and
private schools there are uncounted
hundreds whose only educational OPP
portunities lie in the 300 odd Jewish

WASHINGTON, Jan. Food prices
in the United States during 1914 We're
higher than at any time during the
last thirty-seyen years with the ex-
4. eention OF the years 1882 when they
were 4 per cent higher than 1914
prices, 1883 when they were on the
same level, and in 1912 when they
were per cent higher. The bureau
of labor statistics in its annual bul.
letin just issued on wholesale prices
OF commodities reviewing the years
from 1860 to 1914 discloses that in
the fifty-fve years food prices were
highest in 1864 when they were 10
per cent more than 1914 prices and
lowest in 1896 when they were 40
per cent below.
In the years OF the civil war and
during dozen years or more after
ward prices of all commodities were
the highest since 1860 when the first
attempt was made at keeping rec
ord of wholesale prices. In 1864 prices
OF most commodities reached their
highest point. Lowest prices were re
corded in the years from 1894 90 1898

In company with the educational
chief of the city, an Associated Press

the "cheders" and their hordes of

This may be as GOOD time as any
to call attention to the unpleasant
fact that the Indians in this valley are
getting altogether too much whiskey
to be entirely compatible with good
behaviour and assurance to the upper
valley residents of peaceful life.
There Is absolutely no excuse fer
feeding up the noble req man" on
intoxicants, and nothing can be said
in extenuation of the offense. 1t is
in defiance of the federal laws, read
ing very plainly upon this subject,
and those laws prescribe rigorous
penalties for their violation.

smattering of religion.
The school inspector had never Wis.
tied this particular "cheder" before,
but from long experience he lighted
a cigarette before entering the room
to combat the sickening odor of the
overcrowded place. The teacher, used
to visits from Russian officials, be-
gan at once to protest that he had no
money with which to pay tribute. and
showed obvious relief when he was
assured that no money was desired.
His expression changed to wonder,
however, when he was sternly ordered
to reduce the size of his class, to
eliminate all children under years
old, and to clean up the floors and
desks. He promised readily enough,
but It was only too plain that he did
not at all understand why such mea-
sures were necessary.
