New York, Sept. On telegram

belief that All attempts to revive
separate nationality or nationalistic
interest among Jews is menace to
Judaism"
The telegram was sent as CON
sequence OF the presidents Jewish
New Year message to Rabbi Stephen

reconstructive work which the Brit

The verb TO peterout' is queer
one. The dictionary says, its origin
is uncertain, but have an idea it
comes from the Peter whose loyalty
to Christ faltered when the cock
crew thrice. He was faithful when
the cock crew once, and when the
cock crew twice. but his morale
weakened as the long night dragged.
He "petered out" He came back, !"
however. He was the rock on which
the church was founded at last.
The American who weakens and
then strengthens is not as bad as the
Judas who sells his country. He can
come back"
The patriot who weakens and then
comes back only comes back be-
cause there are Others who do not
weaken. ii we all weakened, it
would be all over with us, and with
patriotism, and with America. Free
dom would be dead; autocracy
would rule.
Don't you be the one to weaken
Don't you be the 'peterout' patriot.
Perhaps you canvassed i'll the last
Red Cross or Liberty Loan cam
paign, and in the one before thata,
and the one before that, but now you
are so tired You'll let some other
fellow do it.
Don't do that! Buck up! You've
made a good record so far; keep it
up. Let on that you've enlisted for
the war; il you peter out YOU are
a deserter.
And don't think it will not be
known. Already, here and there, YOU
hear people saying OF this one and
that one. "Oh! he's peter-out pa
triot. He was mighty wonderful
while the job was fresh and inter
esting. but look at him now! He's
quit'

PATRIOTISM AND TEACHING.

The nationwide shortage Oh
teachers Is no new problem. In the
past year or two fewer college grad
yates have taken up teaching as a
profession. Men and women al
ready engaged in that calling have
been leaving it in great numbers,
the men to serve the colors or take
up war work, the women to enter
new fields offering better salaries
and more opportunities for initia-
tive and selt-eNpression.
Teaching had become sadly bound
by red tape and bookkeeping School
affairs were too often subordinate
to local politics and faddish the
ories that kept the teachers work
unsettled and offered little chance
for the teacher OF real ability to
make the most OF the profession.
SaIarle, were notoriously low
Now the appeal is being made TO
teachers to stick by the schools for
patriotic reasons. 1t is indeed true
there is hardly any civilian occupa-
ton more vital to the nation, good
than that OF teaching. The citizens
Of the next generation are in the
public schools now.
Many teachers will stand by
their jobs ior patriotic reasons.
Some few more will stay because
hey are real teacher, and love the
work better than anything they
,ould do elsewhere. Many able and |
EXCELLENT teachers will be lost, how
-yer, because OF the short sighted
policies of school boards and the .
Indifference OF the public-parents .
who would be deeply interested in
chool problems ii they were wise.
Ii it is patriotic Tor the teachers
0 continue their work regardless
II conditions, It is also patriotic for
he rest of the community to re-
tore to teaching the dignity, respect
nd influence hat belong rightfully
O the profession.

FRANCE OUR FRIEND"
(By Harrison Rhodes
Member Authors Committee,

Member Authors Committee,
American Defense Society.
Ii Lafayette were here today-a
century ago it might perhaps have
been foretold that we should be cele-
brating Lafayette Day in America
today. France was our first friend,
our loyalty today to her is the gal
lanteSt, the most romantic OF our ma
tional emotions. The love OF liberty
brought France and America to-
gether then when the young Lafa-
yette crossed the seas to bring us
aid. 3nd it is the love OF liberty
which binds lis now.
But the philosophic observer of a
century ago could not perhaps have
foreseen that now under the banners
OF liberty our ancient enemy Brit
ain would be fighting by our side.
Indeed it may even fairly be said that
the help which the king OF France
gave us then was at least little
caused by his lack of liking for Eng
land. But time has dimmed every
thing in the story. and let it stand
now merely as one brave nation aid
ing another in Liberty's name. Time
in Liberty'S name, has brought
about the wonder OF Britain. 10y
ally shoulder to shoulder with her
ancient enemy and her late revoted
colonies.
The miracle is Libertys. A Fourth
OF July celebrated through the
length and breadth OF Britain would
have been incomprehensible a CEN
.ury ago. and Lafayette Day when
national interests are generously I.
pooled as today in the great cause
)f Democracy. and the future great |
perpetual peace would have seemed .
90 much to hope for If Lafayette
we're alive today what an ally he |
would make How proud we should /
&c OF him And how glad he would .
le that the world had moved, and .
hat now more than half of it could .
orget old quarrels and band to-
yether to fight tyranny And vet is
zach poilu in the fighting line of
France not another. perhaps
create Lafayette? And as we cele-
,rate him of so long ago, shall we
lot be celebrating every humblest
me OF them of today? Thank God.
We still have friends in France who
will help us save the world and lib
rty.
