Let Teachers Go Whore Big Pay Is
Assured And Let Club Women
Teach The Children.
To the Editor -

To the Editor -
lnsomuch as some Of your citizens are
worrying over the increased pay for teach
ers, will you kindly publish the following
open letter to Mrs. Philip W. Moore, Presi-
dent Of the Club Women, of st. Louis. Mo /:
Dear Madam MANY public school teach
ers in this State are resigning to accept
positions as clerks, stenographers and sec
retaries at often double their salaries as
teachers. Nearly one hundred left Prince
Georges county alone. The Government
has positions for every one of them. They
are duly fitted for its work, and as it seems
impossible for them to get the salaries
they want as teachers, say let them
periodically 90 and let their places be
supplied by you club women in this and
any other State where conditions are the
same. Your club women have the means.
the education and the time to open their
homes to small classes to be taught freely.
lnsomuch as they are, one and all. the
most pronounced advocates of education
that we have, the occupation ought to
prove most congenial to them.
Shortage of coal and other matters have
also greatly handicapped the schools in
many sections. while Fuel Administrators
Garfield has proposed actually that all the
schools in the Northern and Central States
be closed for the balance of the winter,
beginning January list. Your club women
are wishing to pose as patriots and patrons
of education, here is the chance for both.
The mothers knee" education has much
more to commend it than the machine
education of the public schools. These are
no times in which to stand on ceremony
What do you ssyS
Respectfully.

Income Tax Returns.

A statement outlining the new plan de-
vised by the Treasury Department to SIM
plify the collection of war revenue taxes
and relieving the general public Of a lot Of
worry over the income tax problem has
been issued under instructions from Daniel
C, Roper. Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue., Washington.
1t fully explains the workings Of the
income tax regulations, the returns on
which must be made prior to March I, 1918,
and announces the Governments plan for
lifting from the shoulders Of the taxpayers
much Of the responsibility in making their
returns. The statement follows: you
will not have to figure out your own income
tax by yourself hereafter. The Government
is going to send men to help you. 1t will
be up to you to hunt these men up; they
will be sent into every county seat and
some other towns besides to meet the
people. Postmasters. bankers and news
papers will be able to tell you when the
Governments income tax man will be
around and where to find him. He will
answer your questions. swear you to the
return and take your money, Returns Of
income for 1917 must be made between
January and March 1. 1918.
Next year. every married person living
with wife or husband and having a net
income of $4,000. and every unmarried
person not the head Of a family and hav-
ing net income Of $1,000 for the year
1917. must make return of income on the
forms prescribed Every collection district
in the nation will be divided into districts,
with the county as the unit. and Govern
ment officer informed on the income tax
assigned to each district.
1T may be stated as matter of general
information that net income is the re-
mainder after subtractine expenses from
gross income. Personal. family or living
expenses is not expense within the mean
ing of the law. the exemption being allowed
to cover such expenses. The law makes II
the duty Of the taxpayer to seek out the
collector. Many people assume that II an
income tax form is not sent. or Gov
eminent officer does not CALL they are re-
lieved from making report. This Is decid-
edly an error II is the other way around.
The taxpayer has to 60 to the Govern
ment and II he doesn't within the time
prescribed. he is a violator Of the law. and
the Government will 90 to him with Its
penalties"

In these days of perplexity and anxiet,
there could be no clearer Interpretation O
the true Christmas spirit, and no more ap
propriate prayer, than we find in Tenny
sons verses from In Memoriam.
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky,
The flying cloud. the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells. and let him die.
Ring out the old. ring in the new,
King, happy bells, across the snow
The year is going. let him co.
Ring out the false. ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more
Ring out the fued of rich and poor:
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life;
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
King out the want, the care. the sin.
The faithless GOODNESS of the times;
Ring out. ring out my mournful rhymes
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood
The civic Islander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right;
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land;
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

No UNIVERSAL TRAINING.

No UNIVERSAL TRAINING.
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker has
announced that he does not favor univer-
sal military training. Right he is None
but the military men. who ride war as a
hobby, want it. The great object Of the
war is to bring some assurance Of peace
beyond the war. If all the nations, and
our own particularly, are to initiate Ger
many's past in militarism, with its conse-
quent horrors. we might as well stop where
we are and let the Kaiser rule all sure
enough. A good enough preparation for all
boys to sober work. rather than to be, as
at present, educated sissies.

important Notice" To Registrars

Under this caption the Montgomery Coun-
ty Legal Advisory Board is adding, as a
postscript to its letter published in last
weeks Sentinel, the following
BLANKS should be filed out clearly in
ink at home as far as possible. Write out
on separate paper proposed answers to
questions about which you want to con-
suit lawyers"
This has been rendered necessary by
actual experiences this week at the Court
House.
Many of the registrants have failed to
even read over the questions before they
came to Rockville. and are taking up hours
of time which could have been saved if
they had only gone over the questions at
home and filed in their answers to those
about which there could be no doubt and
carefully thought over and gotten together
all the facts necessary to answer the bal
ance.
The Local Board continues each day to
mail the questionnaires to S per cent of
those on the list. or to about 1870 per day
These must be filled out, sworn to and
filed within 7 days from date of mailing.
This date is stamped on the face of the
blank.
The Legal Advisory Board and its asso-
ciate members are giving. free of charge,
large portion Of their time each day to
the work Of aiding the registrants as they
come to the Court House to complete and
file their questionnaires.
They are doing this cheerfully, but they
want 1t understood that each registrant
and his family must supply the informa-
ton required and do their full part in COM
plying with the terms Of the law as indi-
Gated by the QUESTIONABLE and that it
will be physical impossibility to get these
papers properly made out and filed unless
they do their part.
When deferred classification is sought
on grounds of dependents, it is suggested
that the dependents qualified to make the
affidavits required from them be brought
by the registrant with him to Rockville
where practicable.
Likewise where such claim is made on
ground of industrial or agricultural bust
ness. it would save time and trouble for
reeistrants to bring with them the proper
persons who are to make the affidavits
required.
1t is not necessary to bring any infants
or persons under Is years of age.
In instances where no legal assistance
is desired. the QUESTIONABLE can be per-
fected and sworn to before proper officer
without the necessity of the reeistrant
coming to the Court House at all.
