GUNNERS, BATTLING FOR
MONTHS ON WESTERN FRONT,
NEVER SEE FOE THEY SHOOT

The forward observation officers
are really happy at last They are
recompensed for many months OF
weary, dangerous work in the front
trenches, where they never saw a
single gray coat. They had to sit
for days and nights under German
shells, to go over the top and take
their chance with the first line of at
lacking infantry. in order that the
eyes of the artillery might go for
ward with the bayonet- They flirted
with death score of time each nerve
racking day-and sometimes they died
suddenly at the end Of a tele-
phone wire and We're buried by the
she'll that killed them-but now they
have their reward.
Sees Huns Blown Up. Happy.
The winter is a wash bout said
one of these youthful heroes. I have
seen my guns blow the jolly old Hun
to bits. and it was worth hugging a
hole in the ground for two years to
watch this show"
It's all very welI,' said g gunner
officer to whom repeated this
eulOgy. He sits in a stall and sees
the show, but what about the poor
devils like myself who have to live
in a gunpit and fire from a map2 L

the length of term, as this depends
almost entirely on the per capita, and
given the term, with an adequate sal
airy, the competent teacher is easily
secured and the children's best inter-
eSts conserved.
But in the ~sparsely settled districts
this is not the case, and here arises
the imperative need of consolidation
reducing the number of schools, there
by increasing the funds available for
each. thus insuring the desired results
of a longer term and more competent
teacher.
AS to just how consolidation may
best be accomplished, must be left al
most entirely to local conditions to
determine. The public conveyance
plan is working we'll in many sec
tions. The development of good roads
is also having a beneficial effect and
aiding in the solution. But as we
stated, this is entirely a local ques-
ton and must be worked out locally.
The important point is that the
people be brought to see the absolute
necessity for sufficient consolidation of
u schools to accomplish the desired
results. Given this conviction, we
have no fears but the solution of the
problem of ways and means will be
worked out.
