INCREASE OF REGULAR ARMY.

The report of the House Committee
on Military Affairs provides for an
unexpected increase of the regular
army to 100000 men, including the
hospital corps and other non-combat-
ants, or a total of 10000 fighting
men, which is more than Mr.. Garri-
son requested. This number would
not be too great in view of the in
creased demands due to the insular
possessions, the Panama canal and
coast defenses. But there seems to
be some doubt as to whether even all
the members of the committee will
support such an increase since they
reserve the right to support floor
amendments when voting for the re-
port. The subject is Of such univer-
sal interest that the House will not
feel bound by the views of its COM
mittee, even II they were unanimous
ly supported.

filing the regular army than about
getting sufficient enlistments in con-

societies, for all locals and notices
published, where there Is money
consideration made by the churches

the broadcast minded men of the VII.
son cabinet. makes n strong arru-
men, in behalf of federal aid for edit
cation in general but especially for

,iOn 10 the fact that notwithstanding
the hundreds of large cities IN the
country and the thousands of pros
porous towns, large majority Of the
92.OUU, 600 school children of Amer
lea arr in rural schools and are not
receiving training which viii COM
pare fnvorably with that received hy
the pupils of the towns and cities,
In the nature of things, there must
bc a wide disparity IN the iGcliitl",
possible for these two CLASSES of sta
dents, but there IL no sound reason
for such discrepancy between the
quality of the instruction offered "a
them. The niggarlly salaries which
are paid rural teachers are, of course,
nj the bottom Of the untownrd CON
diti0ns which prevail, Perhaps the
word "niggarlly" should be cNchang-
eel for one which would relieve the
district school management of the
blame for intentional discouragcmcnt
of good teachers in the matter of sal
aries, though IL Is quite apparent
that there are thousands of districts
In which the patrons can well afford
to pay much more than the prevailing
scale.
In many other districts the sup
portcrs of the schools pay all that
they can afford To pay. and make sac
riticcs in order "a maintain the sys-
TEN. Such districts usually receive
some assistance from the states in
which they are located but in n large
proportion of them there Is no deny
ing that they are placed at n serious
disadvantage and that the equality %
opportunity for all the boys and girls
of America to acquire an education Is
more theoretical than actual.
Secretary Lane protests sharply
against conditions which require the
teachers in many rural schools to ac-
cept the pay of day laborers, or even
less, and IL is TO cquali2e these mex
cusable inequities that the secretary
urges systematic government aid and
fostering supervision, without in
frlnglng upon any of the prerOgatives
of the states. II is easy to indulge
in smooth platitudes about every boy
and girl being able to get an educa-
ton, but il is another thing to at
ford them tangible opportunity to
receive as good a chance as the bet
ter situated boy and girl. The rural
pupils cannot expect the educational
'palaces" Of the big cities, but they
ought not to be required to prepare
themselves for the active battle of
life in educational "hovels." Secre-
tary Lane is giving impetus to a
movement which has been agitated
for a good many years, and is render
ing valuable service in helping TO
solve problem to which the states
are giving more and more considera-
tion from year to year.
Every child is the ward of the ma
tion, in the broadcast sense of educa-
tional opportunities, and 1t is of
primo importance that he should re-
ceive az nearly as possible, the same
chance as all others in the CORE
spending classification into which it
Ia necessary to divide the school sop-
ulation.--Ksnsas City Journal.

PEARL INDUSTRY
OF Germany is Considerable,
Many Gems Being Fished
Out of Rivers.

BERLIN, Feb. Ut is not gen
orally known, but Germany has a
not inconsiderable pearl industry!'
and in the last 100 years many
thousands OF the gems have been
fshed UP out Of the waters Of the
various German rivers.
Bavaria has been the most prOduc-
tive portion of the empire, A total
Of 155,SS0 pearls, it is estimated,
were found there between 1914 and
1867, and the annual aggregate has
only decreased as the waters OF Bav-
arian rivers have been spoiled by
various industrial projects.
The most productive river has al
ways been the Elster in Sayony,
which for centuries has been rented
to one family by the state. The year.
In, year-out average has shown that
from three to four pearls can be OBJ
tanned from 100 mussels fished up,
and that one out OF every eighteen
pearls is OF special value.
About 500 pearls of value have
been taken from the Elster by the
family In question in the last de-
cade, the summer OF 1915 being the
most productive, with forty.seven
good examples.

MARRIAGE BUREAU
Conducted by the German Gov
eminent is Advocated by
Dir. Uderstadt.

BERLIN, Feb. IA government
conducted marriage bureau Is adj
yocated by DR.. e. Il. Understadt, in
an article in the current number of
monthly magazine, After tho war.
he fears, the young men will have
to work harder than ever, and OPP
portunlties for them to make the
acquaintance OF young women will
be few.
If then" he writes. "and this Is
urgently desirable. an Increase OF
marriages is to take place, It Is ab-.
solutely necessary that men and
women who love their nation take
upon themselves the thankful IL "
of bringing the sexes together, per-
haps with the support OF the state,
which is itself the most interested
in this work"
DR.. Understadt suggested the pos
slbillty of having marriage cOun-
selors," whose duty II would be to
support future brides and BRIDE
grooms with sage advice before they
took the final step. In this way, he
believes, eugenic principles could be
brought into their own, and the re-
suit would be not only more babies.
but better ones.
