BUILDING MORALE

Work OF Jewish Welfare Board Pro-
dueIng Splendid Results In
Camps and Trenches

No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than By the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is en-
gagged In its task Of keeping up the
lines Of communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
training CAMPS and the folks back

Believing that in the struggle OF
morale against "kultur" the American
army has every advantage that will

Camera for AvlatorA

One Of the new devices BY which
European war aviators obtain cor
rect photograph Of the enemies posi-
ton is a camera operated with a trig
ger like a pistol. 1t can take clean
and distinct photographs for military
purposes at an altitude Of 600 feet OF
more. The aviator takes aim and pulls
the trigger as though firing revolver.
The pistol camera was invented by the
Germans, but one Of them was found
on board an aeroplane brought down
by the French. 1t was so simple and
effective that It was copied In large
numbers for French aviators.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN; BRIEFS

The Local Committee Of the
Fourth Liberty Loan informs us
that they have evidence of some
450 red blooded Americans in
this community they have
bought bonds of the present is
e-and their names appear on
the back page of this issue.
Tomorrow is Liberty Day-if
you have not already bought as
many bonds as you can possibly
pay for between now and Feb
ruray l, l919-this is a fine day
to show your appreciation Of
Liberty.
If you have signed an agree
ment to buy a Fourth Liberty
Loan Bond and have not made
your first payment--see your
banker at once. No subscription
can be counted until the first
payment is made.
Did it ever occur to you that
when the boys return and you
begin to ask them what part
they played in the big battle for
Liberty, that they will ask you
the same question we who
stay at home must buy bonds.

NEWARK, Del, May i7.--At a recent
meeting Of the Board Of Education Dean
Robinson, Of the Women's College,
made a proposal to the board in con-
nection with the establishing Of q train
ing school, where young women at the
college who propose to make teaching
their profession could get practical ex-
perlence Although those who have
made a steady Of the proposition think
It would be Of mutual benefit to both
the schools and the college, much op-
position 10 1t has developed among
some members OF the board, as well as
many townspeople.
For the training school opportunities
under the plan proposed which has been
approved by the trustees the college
would agree to expend a total OF s4.6i5,
tbs next school year, which would give
10 the schools some advantages which
Il Is evident under the present circum-
stances could not possibly be otherwise
secured.
In accepting the offer and prop
erly carrying out the idea 1t Is likely
that the board would have TO expend
IN the neighborhOod Of $1,000.
The board has discussed the PROPOSE
tiOn at two meetings and 10 viii be
considered at a third meeting tomorrow
nlght. While no definite action has
been taken there seems 20 be a general
impression that &c will be eventually
turned down because Of the attitude Of
a majority Of the members Of the board
In discussing the cooperative plan
tho board also considered the budget
FOR next year. The board has dacidec
on Il conservative policy because Of wal
conditions, but hopes TO add as msnl
desirable features as finances Will per.
init. Il Is contended that even viii
tho most conservative figures with M
pretense TO conform % modern stand
ards Il Will be necessary to secure
$4,000 additional revenue above wha
was available this year. The amoun
raised by taxes and the appropriation
from the state this year amounted Il
about $4,000.
One large increase over this yesr vii
be IN teachers salaries, the board hav
ing decided TO increase their salaries q

mar and primary school teachers hay
been reelected, no action hes pee
taken as yet towards electing the big

The entire school proposition
