While forts, mines, battleships
and air squadrons guard New
York, the nations solar plexus,
this towns monied spenders are
% setting new PAGES i'm their orgy
of senseless, wasteful eXtrava-

Gorged with war profits, they
toss gold away with reckless

whose business it is to fleece their

New York these days reminds

But New York, blase and

Gilded Resorts Busy.
Recruiting Officers harangue
crowds from the steps of the

New York's patriotism is

During the morning. German
stretcher bearers had advanced nu-

SHORT OF TEACHERS

TATE Superintendent
Churchill, who knows the
school situation in Ore
gon from close experience is
alarmed over the shortage in
teachers and the inadequacy of
Oregon's facilities for training
people for such work. He esti-
mates that the state needs 1000
new teachers each year where
as the one normal school at
Monmouth is able to turn out
only $50.
The situation makes an ar
guInent for the adoption of the
normal school proposal placed
on the ballot by the last legis-
lature and which plan will be
voted on by the people next
year. This proposal calls for
a normal school in eastern Ore
gon and one in southern Ore
gon, the selection of the loca-
tions being left to the board of
regents. The plan has the mer-
it of being fair to all communi-
ties aspiring to secure a school
and the bill will be adopted if
the people come to understand
the truth of the situation.
