struction in the public schools. In
this connection Mary G. G. Bradford
Of Denver, president Of the National
Education association, has addressed
an appeal to the teachers Of the
country, in which she said, In part:
Junior Red Gross Membership,
The school teachers Of the United
States are hereby called to the colors
OF the American republic. The
schools are the laboratory OF good
citizenship. The children are little
citizens and must be guided i'm such
present experiences as VIII make
certain their future dedication to the
welfare Of the republic. The junior
membership Of the Red Cross,
through the school auxiliary, offers
an indispensable medium through
which the patriotic activities OF the
children can make themselves felt.
Beginning with Lincoln's birthday
and lasting until washinEton's birth
day a nationwide effort is to be
made in behalf Of increasing the
junior membership.
The National Education associa-
ton offers every teacher in the land
the high privilege OF participation in
this great campaign. The school or
ganization Of each state needs your
help in this form Of character educa-
ton.

Have Been Called Into
the Service

Chicago, Feb. 9.-F'aced by pros
poets of an increasing demand for
and diminishing supply Of school
teachers for 1888, the employment
service of the federal department of
labor is sending to every state super
intendent of education in the country
QUESTIONABLE seeking accurate In
formation as to the number of teach
ers available for next year and pos
sible sources of supply for vacancies.
The Chicago branch of the service
has let 1t be known that the greatest
difficulty thus far has been in OBJ
tanning instructors for high schools,
the greater part of whose teaching
forces have hitherto been composed
of young men. Numbers of these in
structors have been called TO the ma
tional army or have enlisted. The
many special services which the gov
eminent has been organizing have
also drawn heavily on this class Of
teachers and on senior college stud
ents from among whom are usually
recruited the annual additions to the
school Stairs.
Educational authorities have view
ed with some concern the growing
tnroads on their profession which the
war ts making. They have, in many
instances, started organized efforts
to nil the gaps in their ranks and
have emphasized the Importance OF

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Reports Of in

Of dampness and unreasonable

as a check on the bulls. Trade lacked

Continued scantiness of arrivals

Potatoes can be procured from two

ing the seed potatoes In full sunlight
about a month earlier than 1t Is Gus
tomary to plant potatoes. This would
be about the middle of April These
potatoes will then produce short
thick, dark green sprouts that are
very tough At planting time each
seed piece should contain at least one
OF these clusters of buds. The pieces
should be planted carefully with the
buds upward: IT Will require only
half the time or less for plants 20
come to the surface of the soil from
sun-sprouted seed than from normal
dormant seed potatoes. The potatoes
will thereby be able to make q very
good growth during the cool part OF

the cellar producing long white ten
der sprouts should not be used for
seed purposes as they viii give poor
results Potatoes of an early variety
like Irish Cobbler and Early Ohio
should Be used 70 secure best results.
