to him. was hoping that other civil
ians would occupy the remaining two
seats at my table, because did not
relish the idea Of having to sit through
the show with German soldiers within
a few feet Of me. That would certainly
have spoiled my pleasure for the even
ing.
Every uniform that came in the door
gave me cause to worry until I was
sure 1t was not coming In my direction.
don't suppose there was single SOL

Just before they lowered the lights,
two German officers entered. They
stood at the door for moment look
ing the place over. Then they made a
baeline in my direction and must
confess my heart started to beat
little faster. 1 hoped that they would
nnd another seat before they came to
my vicinity. but they were getting
nearer and nearer and I realized with
0 sickening sensation that they were
headed directly for the two seats at
my table, and that was indeed the
ease.
These two seats were In front Of the
table facing the stage and except when
the officers would be eating or drink
ing their backs were toward me. and
there was considerable consolation In
that. From my seat I could have
reached right over and touched one of
them on his bald head. 1t would have
been more than a touch, I am afraid.
II I could have gotten away with 1t
safely.
As the officers seated themselves,
. waiter came to US with printed
bill-of-fare and program. Fortunately.
he waited on the others first and I
listened intently to their orders. The
officers ordered some light wine, but
my Belgian neighbor ordered "Bock"
for himself and his wife, which was
what l had decided to order anyway.
as that was the only thing could say.
Heaven knows I would far rather have
ordered something to eat, and was
afraid to take chance at the pronun-
citation of the dishes 1t set forth.
There were number Of drinks listed
which might safely enough have or.

"Sparkling Dry Ginger Ale,- l."

TO BRING THEM HOME.

Since the prospect of possible peace is IN
sight the National United War Work Campaign
committee, organized at request of President,
Wilson, has received many inquiries, all raising
the same question:
"'If peace should come early next year, will the
war work agencies still need this huge of
money!"
The answer is. of course, obvious to any one
who has given the matter thought. The de-
mobilization of a great army is always slow
and difficult process. Even after the Franco
Prussian War, which lasted only few months,
generalization occupied more than year. The
rehabilitation of the huge forces in France, and
their transportation to their own countries is
going to be matter not of weeks but of very
many months. The Canadian military authori-
ties stated that it would take fifteen months to
bring their army home. No one has questioned
that it will require full year more to de-
mobilize our American forces.
And during those months, when the tension of
battle has been lifted and discipline relaxed, there
viii be need of the influence of the work
agencies in redoubled measure. For example, the
educational programs which have been laid out,
every hut in France into university classroom
and make those months of adjustment months
that will count permanently in the lives of our
boys
John r. Mott, writing to The Journal, says:
THE American people will want to make gen.
erous provision, not merely for the period of the
war but for the rehabilitation period as well,
once they understand the need
'Will you help us to max ethem understand?
They have stood by the boys Loyalty thus far.
Let US determine that no matter when the war
ends we will stand by them until the last boy
steps off the gang-plank over here, at the end
of his journey home.'
Mr.. Mott who is director general of the United
War Work Campaign, is well qualified to know
what conditions abroad. He has practically
given his life to just such work as this, in one
fighting the battle of righteousness with the Y
NJ c.. A. forces, of which he was the international
head
Mr.. Mott is right We have sent our boys
abroad to face death; when they turn their faces
homeward they are our boys no less, but shall
need our help all the more when the fight is end
ed-and It may be said in this connection that
of hostilities.

THE REMEDY.

Each additional day in school adds twenty-five
dollars to mans earning capacity
This is not a haphazard statement of some
over-zealous statician but is based on findings of
the United States Bureau of Education, which
made its tabulations after months of investiga-
ton.
According to these Investigations, the high
yearly, or 100000 between the age of 10 and
So years.
A poorly educated workman earns on the av-
erage of $4,000 yearly, or $22, 100000 from the
age of IA to SO years
The increased earnings of the high school
graduate, due to four years additional school
ing, amount to s18,OOO.OO, making his income
$50, 100000 -
To anyone who has studied this subject, these
look at it, wherever we may turn for our in
formation, we shall find that the man who sue
ceeds is the Educated man. Sometimes mans
talents are so great or his personality so strong
that he succeeds in spite of not being educated,
but never because he has not been educated.
Take any business man who has reached
high plane of success and it will be found that if
he did not have advantages that high school
education gives that he went to night school, or
he studied at odd hours, but he studied, he
learned he absorbed in every possible way And
the more he learned the more he was worth
It is not the examining from textbooks that
counts; it is the training of the mind, the habit
of concentration that is inculcated, the opening of
the door that leads to wider horizon.
We need better schools in this country and
better salaries and better teachers. We cannot
this, The Nation says
'"The salaries of public-school teachers and of
the lower grades of college instructors have long
been, and still are, wretchedly small as to
bear no rational relation to the cost Of living;
while the unstable conditions of tenure, the fav-
oritism and intermeddling of politics, and the
arbitrary methods of administrative officials
have gone far, in connection with the Inadequate
salaries to rob teaching of it's interest as a
career. AS result, thousands of teachers have
already left the schools for more remunerative
employment in other occupations, and thousands
more are fitting themselves as rapidly as posi-
BILE to follow the example. What is more, the
teachers who are needed to recruit the annual
loss due to death retirement, not to speak of
the requirements of rapidly growing popula-
ton, not in sight. The result is that TODAY.
with the demand for sound and practical educa-
ton greater than ever, the supply of teachers is
suffering a sharp decline both absolutely and
relatively; while the quality of teaching, due to
the loss of experienced teachers, the bringing in
of unframed, inexperienced, OF mediocre substi-
tutes, and the employment of an excessive pro-
portion of immature young women, is everywhere
being lowered. There is only one remedy and
that is to pay adequate salaries and make the
schools democratic"
