EDUCATION GREAT.
AID TO UNCLE SAM
He Cannot Afford to Let Work
of Schools and Universities
Be Weakened.
NEEDS WELL.TRA|NED men
Call to the Colors Leaves Many Minor
Positions That Must Be Filled
by Women, and They
Must BE Trained.

Officials of Uncle Sans bureau OF
education are very active Mt present
trying to impress upon the people OF
the country. and especially the educa-
tors, that this Is no time to let edu'
cation lag. war or no war.
None Of the great universities con-
templates suspending work. nor would
It be wise to do so, 1t Is pointed out.
For the duration of the war and some
time thereafter there will be an I'M
precedented need for men expertly
trained in every technical field. One
of the severest handicaps the country
could experience would be q shortage
of doctors, or of chemical, electrical.
or mining engineers, once active par
ticlpation of the United States In the
war Is we'll under way.
In regard to physicians and sur
geons, this fact has already been rec
ognized. Medical students have been
urged by the hospitals to remain at
their studies and under no conditions
to enlist In the medical or other
branches CT the service until their
courses are completed.
Need Uncle Sam After War.
No less important is the work Of the
engineering schools, which should. the
officials insist, not be allowed to be-
come disorganized. Modern warfare Is
80 largely matter Of experts-ex-
perts I'm transportation, industry and
organization-that depletion Of tech
nical engineering forces would be COM
parable In its efforts to the loss Of an
army corps. The building Of aircraft,
of ships, the planning of camps.
trenches. mines and roads. the organ
ization of rail transportation for troop
and supply movements, all demand an
army of technically trained men. And
after the war Is over the allied cOun-
tries are counting upon American aid.
Our own Industrial development. more
over. will be handicapped If our tech
nical forces are not constantly fed.
The educational experts point out
that for the same reasons rs those out
lined the elementary and high schools
of the country must be kept going
even more effectively than in times of
peace.
Women Must Be Trained.
Again. It Is suggested that, with the
withdrawal Of thousands of men from
clerical. minor administrative and rou-
tine positions. women must be trained
TO take their places. In the next three
years the graduates Of the high
schools will have unusually arduous
as well as unprecedented tasks on
their hands. II there Is the slightest
!et.up in educational standards the
United States will find itself in few
years with civilian army Of incOmpe'
tents.
Instead, therefore. Of reducing the
curriculum, officials Of the bureau OF
education are urging that every effort
should be made to bring the educa
tional machinery to a greater degree
of effectiveness, and so far as possible
to adapt II to the new necessitieS OF
wartime industry.

Simon Simons, honorary president Of

thought. II believe I'll try sort Of

lark. Let's see,t I'll start at Oopen-
heimer's-thelr 10-cent bowl Of Ivy
soup is the biggest In town." And he
walked five blocks to Oopenheimer's,
drank the soup and set out for SWISH
endish's, eight blocks away, where, he
knew, the Scent sandwiches were
quite as big and as crowded as the
usual 10 centers.
After lingering over Slamcse
cheese sandwich, he walked to Bickel
and Watson streets, to- Pogenwoog's,
where, he got an lce-cream cone for 3
cents, and by that time he was so
hungry from all the exercise that, in
desperation. he strobe into restau-
rant where a placard read: Full
course dinner, 85 cents"
When he got back to the Office, two
hours later. he found that Twickenham
b. Woos had dropped In to buy $1,000
worth Of stock in the b. V. ID. sand

FIND HUMOR IN CENSORSHIP
French Succeed In Getting a Certain
Amount Of Fun Out Of Off.
ciai Proceedings.

France has censorship. But 1t also
has sense OF humor. BY means Of
this humor IL Is able to bear so well
with the censorship that 1t would suf-
fer sense of loss II the institution
were suddenly abolished.
The way the French censor works
Is this: He reads the page proofs of
the newspapers and periodicals and
notifies the publishers what part Of
their printed matter they cannot cir
culate. The publishers then chisel the
stereotyped plates and the papers come
out blotched with white spaces. Read
ers, seeing these gaps, Invariably as
sumo that something Of extreme i'm
portance has been withheld from
them. They besIege their ofiicehold-
ers and politicians for enlightenment.
The distressed public servants, know
ing not thing must yet say some
thing. SO they invent news. The re-
suits are comical. Government officers
get entangled in their own stories,
they are held to account for state
ments they had forgotten they had
made. they are forced to dodge
friends and avoid constituents.
1t speaks for the spirit Of coun-
try that what might be expected to
set 1t raving merely makes it slap It's
thigh with enjoyment.
