DIRECTORS TO WORK
AT FOOD PRODUCTION
Vexed Problem of Their Presence at
Army CantOnments Is Now Solved.

Washington, d. c., August 1S-Af-
ter struggling for long time with
the knotty problem of conscientious
DIRECTORS in army oantonments, the
War Department now announces that
the difficulty has to a large degree
been solved through the aid of the
farm help specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
In the various states where there
are farming communities which in
clude sects opposed to war, such as
the Dunkards and Mennonites, and
where additional commanders, togeth-
er with a record of their farm labor
needs.
The plan has worked out so we'll
that in the three camps where definite
lists of DIRECTORS were compiled, prac-
tically all of these men have been
placed. Camp Meade had SO, all of
them now at labor on farms; 100 of
102 men at Camp Lee have been
placed, and the majority of these at
Camp Taylor.
Final arrangements have been made
for labor furloughs for directors in
Camps Gordon, Ca; Jackson, s. c.;
Dix, N. j.; Upton, N Y; Sherman,
Ohio; Devens, Mass; Custer Mich. /;
Grant, ILL.,; Dodge. Iowa; Lewis,
Wash; and Fort Riley, Kans. The
labor specialists of the Department OF
Agriculture in the State. where the
environments are situated have been
instructed to communicate with spe-
citlists in other States in case they
can not place all the conscientious OBJ
| jectors at work at once.
The. furloughed men are under
strict regulations drawn up by the
War Department. They are placed on
farms at standard wage and reports
of their conduct and effectiveness are
made to the cantonment commander
at monthly intervals If their services
are not satisfactory the commandant
is promptly informed of the fact
The War Department has expressed
itself as thoroughly pleased with the
arrangements by which the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, through its farm
help specialists, has aided in placing
these men where their services will

BRINGING BACK MARRIED
TEACHERS

Repeal the married teacher regu-
lation,' says DR.. p. p. Claxton. u s.
Commissioner of Education.
Reports from some cities indicated
that few school boards have not yet
taken action to abolish the rule bar
ring married women from teaching.
This rule never did have much to re-
commend it, and the war has made 1t
impossible of enforcement. Every
woman who is. good teacher is need
ed, and marriage is no bar"
One teacher writes to the Bureau
of Education 81 wish to call your
attention to situation which pre-
walls throughout the Middle West and
urge your influence to remedy this
injustice AS you know most of the
large cities will not employ married
women as teachers in the high
schools. AS you also know the War
Department has placed in Glass 1 all
men whose wives are educated to earn
living. Many of these women were
teachers in the larger high schools
These positions are now closed to us
and must teach in small town-sev-
eral subjects in which we are indif-
ferently prepared-at small wage
all because We have husbands who
are giving themselves in answer to
their country's call. Is this exactly
fair? Kansas City, Mo-, Kansas City,
Kans., Topeka, Kans., and many 9TH
er cities have courteously returned
all applications saying they employ
no married women"
For the information of school
boards that may not have seen Com
missioner Claxton's statement of
March s, 1918, appealing to married
teachers to return to schools, the Blu
reau is asking that the following
paragraph be reprinted: There are
in the country scores Of thousands of
persons, mostly women, of good scho-
larship and professional training who
have had successful experience as
teachers but who have retired from
active service. Many of these might
render valuable. service again in the
school AS a means of relief in the
present crisis, recommend that they
be called again into active service and
that laws, ordinances, and regulations
of school boards prohibition married
women from teaching in the public
schools be suspended or repealed"
