ply Of teachers by giving special en-
couragement to the young graduates
AS stated the local school boards
have the power to appoint whom they
please. The war is calling thousands
OF the young women into the national
service. They are leaving the school
rooms because of the very high spirit
of patriotic fervor that obtains among
them. The boards will have to sup
ply their places, and of course the de-
mand fer the married teachers is ac--
eentuated. Our school boards may be
depended upon to do the very best
thing possible consistent with the
great emergency Of the nation. We

Great surprises ara being sprung to
the aruazemest of the Hun. Without
the most consummate egotisn as to
their prowess, the German command
ers would never have permitted this
salient to assume it's present dangerous
predicament. They seem to have been
unconscious Of danger and TO have
spurned the approach Of the Ameri-
can weaklings.
Nor is It certain that Won linden
burg has even yet revised his estimate
Of the American interference, Men
who reach his period in life, schooled
in the religion Of ahsolutism and
drunk with the spirit Of autocraue
dominance, are not easily persuaded
to change their minds. This is one
OF the elements Of greatest danger to
the German armies The arrogant
ideas of super strength that fiji the
Prussian brain are likely to lead them
over the bounds of caution and bring
an early and crushing disappointment
to all their dreams

SANITARY INSPECTION
Of VIRGINIA TOWNS

Under the direction of the state
board of health a sanitary and health
inspection of Virginia towns is now
being conducted. Inspectors started
on this work about three weeks ago
and they have already covered much
ground, Their preliminary reports in
dictate that tho results will be inter-
esting and valuable.
When the final report is published.
each town will be rated relatively and
on the basis OF a definite standard. SO
that 1t will be highly desirable for
every town to have as clean a record
as possible. looking at the matter from
the welfare of It's own citizens as well
as from other points of view.
In order that local officials may
have an opportunity to clean up"
and correct evils that may exist. the
rating Of towns will be deferred for
the present As soon as an inspector
submits his first report. a letter Is sent
to the mayor of the town concerned
together with a copy of the report
The mayors attention is called to the
conditions where they are found TO be
a menace to health. and he is urged TO
cooperate with the health authorities
ia ICttiilE cAiSLllts evils. HlllOIC-
ing the sanitary rules and regulations
and the laws pertaining to public
health. and in trying to arouse the
people to a realization of the danger
that inheres In neglect of sanitation.
In this way every town will have an
opportunity to improve its sanitary
arrangem and thereby make a
better showing in the final report than
would be the case If the results OF the
investigation were to be made public
| at once
| The war crisis is pointed to by the
health board as emphasizing the i'm
portance of public health questions.
| In one of its letters the board says:
AT this time of war. when our gov
eminent Is bending every effort to the
! task OF putting this country on a war
basis and sending abroad healthy and
well-trained men to fight, it is the
duty of every citizen to do his part
to the limit of his power. Sickness
and the conditions that breed disease
are direct burden on any community
and on the whole nation. and anything
| done to prevent sickness and disease is
| patriotic service of very high order"

We were perfectly satisfied TO take
the word of the ministers Of the
Christian religion that the teachings
of these Russellites were pernicious,
and we cosducted ourselves accord
lngly. The questions involved, how
ever. so far as we had conceived, were
matters Of religious opinion. and the
veriest mfidei had the privileges of
constitutional independence. But the
situation takes on very different col
oring when II becomes established that
these scoundrels were moving through
the country under the mask of sacred
teaching when, as a matter of fact.
their schemes are designed to fisin-
tegrate the foundations of the repub-
lie. The thing Ia no longer one OF
passive interest. but of patriotic and
national concern. These Russellitee,
whoever they are. should be dashed
from every American community, not
because of their religion. II they have
any, but because they disseminate
reasonable teachings that give aid and
