Yet in fact the German loan was paid

w. o. Starks, superintendent of the
Solomon City schools: II am against
the idea of splitting the association.
At most there can be only three dis
tricts made in the state and the idea
of imposing on national educators in
having them address several meetings
does not have my approval. The mat
ter of a little added railroad fare
should not come in the way of the real
object of the organization, that of
unifying the work of the state teach
ers.'
E. F. Stanley, principal of the Sum-
ner junior high school, Topeka, does
not favor the district convention plan.
There is strength in numbers" he
said. THE conventions have been well
handled this way and 1 think change
would affect the inspiration that
comes with a gathering of this kind
Prof. w. H. Johnson, the present
president of the State Teachers as
ISOLATION declares that there are two
reasons why the amendment for the
dividing of the association into dis
tricts should be passed. First, because
of the demand for the greatest eff
cheney; and second, because the new
plan would undoubtedly double the en-
rollment of the association.
c. H. Oman, superintendent OF
schools at Garnett, said this morning
that he will vote for the amendment il
the provision for district divisions is
struck out. He thinks it would be
we'll to have several meetings but each
person should be permitted to go to
whatever meeting he prefers.
F. H Manning, superintendent OF
Morris county, will vote against the
amendment. He believes that q
central meeting is best, but thinks that
perhaps it would be well to pass il
around to the different cities which
are able to accommodate the teach

He believes that a central meeting is

Topeka.
K. w. F1eckinger. superintendent of
schools at Garrison, expects to vote
against the amendment. He fears
that the division will make the an
nual meetings a district affair and the
teachers will lose interest.
J. H. Kile, superintendent of schools
at Parker, likes the meeting held in
one place as it gives the alumni of the
several colleges of the state an oppor-
tunity to have reunions during the
meetings.
Mrs. ]. H. Kile, principal of the
high school at Parker, likes the meet
ing held at one place, as it brings the
teachers from all over the state to-
gether.
Superintendent c. H Landrum of
Washington says that while he re-
grets to think of having the associa-
good to the greatest number should
be the only consideration and the four
district plan promises great benefit in
bringing all the teachers of the state
into one body.
W. c. Porterfield, superintendent of
schools, Clyde: IT favor the present
plan of a single meeting. All roads
lead to Topeka; routes to other points
for meetings are not direct. In the
second place better talent can be OBJ

AT HIGH PRESSURE.

Judged by the consumption of coal
and the traffic of the railways, two
very good induces. says a bulletin is
sued by the National City Bank of
New York, industry and trade are up
to tho limit of facilities. More coal is
being mined than ever before, but not
enough to supply the demand; more
freight is being handled by the rail-
ways than ever before, but they can
not promptly move all that is offered.
Business is harassed by many uncer-
tainties and veXations, and war bust
ness is interfering with peace business.
Government orders are taking up
more of. the productive capacity than
was predicted of them some months
ago. General trade is good, and mer-
chants have confidence that it will
keep up, because the buying power of
the population is enormous. Stocks in
first hands are light, and owing to
high prices distributors are disposed
to avoid heavy stocks.
1t goes without saying that the la
Dor situation is acute, for there liter
ally is no limit to the demand for
men. The ship-yards are wanting
them by the hundred thousand, and
employers in various lines are bid
ding against one another for them.
There is of course, no prospect of an
women are introduced into new occu-
pations, but this is constantly going on.
In the matter of industrial relations,
developments on the whole are re-
assuring. The most serious disturb
ances of recent months have been
either formally settled or are in proc
ess of adjustment, and in many in
stances settlement has included agree
ments which look to the amicab1e ad-
justment of any further differences
that may arise during the war. The
recognized labor leaders have used
their influence to compose the diff
culties, and to keep work going. 1t is
not to be expected that in abnormal
times like these all friction can be
avoided. or that no unreasonable ac-
ton will be taken, but it seems due to
say that the leaders and the rank and
file have shown a patriotic spirit.
There has been recognition among
both employers and employees of the
public interest in the uninterrupted
activity of all the essential industries.
AS the war goes on we may hope that
the spirit of patriotism will grow
stronger, and that all will feel in in
creasing degree the Importance of ma
tional unity, and of maintaining the
industries at their highest efficiency
Some observers are sanguine enough
to think that industrial relations will
be permanently better because all
classes will draw closer together dur
ing the war.
