The shock Of Major John Purroy Mtchcls death
is greater than that of any single American casualty

career of man Of national prominence One Of New

politics and he proved himself a fighter again when he
volunteered for the aviation service and qualified for
that hazardous branch Of fighting at age which bars
most men from flying 1t is pity he had to fall victim

the colors Not heroic Of course, but quite as vital
TO the country Al time when sacrifice is the common
lot the teachers whose lot sacrifice has long been
common can be relied upon to do their share Many OF
them we feel sure will forego opportunities Tor larger
earnings and advancement rather than that schools
shall close for lack of teachers But isn't fair or rea-
sonable to expect the teachers TO shoulder the whole
burden The people of this state and other states must
revise their views OF teachers They have been sghed
too much in the matter of pay in times past The time
has come to show we hold them worthy of their hire
If that view is generally accepted, the teachers will
meet us half way and the threatened shortage OF in
strucors will not serious proportions. With a
shortage OF workers in so many lines, would have
been impossible for the ranks of teachers to escape en-
tirey But there are certain lines OF such importance
that they cannot be neglected matter what curallmen
Of non essential pursuits is necessary to keep them going
Farming is such occupation and teaching is another
Body and mind must be maintained and developed. AS
for the teachers it is well to sound warning two months
before the schools open that school boards still without
teachers may make greater effort to meet the shortage

WATER POWER

Milford, Pa, Jan. 81, 1918.
Editor Banner:
The twelve-year fight to keep the
Nations water power from capture
by the power monopolists Is at last
on the verge Of being won. The Ad-
ministration Water Power Bill, now
before Congress opens the way to
save for the people Of the United
States their most valuable natural
asset. Some fifty million water horse
power is at stake.
The bill in question was formulat-
ed under the direction OF the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, the Secretary of
War. and the Secretary Of the Inter-
ior, was submitted to the President
for his approval, and recently put
forward as an administration meas
ure. It deals with water power in
National Forests, public lands, Indian
lands, and navigable streams. A
special committee of the House has
been created to consider it.
It Is an admirable measure, drawn
with thorough knowledge and unus-
ual skill. The principles essential
for the wise use and development of
our public water powers in the pub
lie interest are all embodied in it.
The thing to do with water power
is to develop it. Whatever retards
or restricts the development of public
water powers on terms fair to the
public is against public policy and
hostile to the general welfare.
Water power belongs to the people.
The sites where it is produced should
always be held in public hands, for
only so can effective control in the
general interest be secured.
This measure is practical, fair and
wise. The friends of Conservation
should insist that their friends in
Congress shall give their prompt and
support to the Administration Water
Power Bill, and shall see to it that
it is passed without emasculation,
substitution, or postponement. 1t is
of vital interest to ur country while
the war is on, and will be equally i'm
portant after the war is over.
The passage of this law will secure
to the American people forever vast
resources whose use for the good of
all will make this land a safer and
a better place to live in. All the
forces of Conservation are behind it.
/ urge you to give the Administration
Water Power Bill your strongest ap-
prevail and support
Sincerely yours,
CLIFFORD PINCHOT.
