FROM OVER THERE

The following poem in the form
OF a Christmas Card was received by
Frank Ortiz, Jr., of the State Record
force this week from Ambrosio DIT
ran a former operator at this office
who is a member of the 18th En-
g:neers, and has been on the front
for many months.
The card bears the title "A Most
Merry Xmas to Home Folks" and
was designed engraved and printed
and the poem composed by the 18th
Engineers:
Beyond the wave-washcd shores Of
France,
Beyond the oceans wcstmost tide,
Beyond the pale-blue horizon, .
Are those we cherish, love and
pride.
And as our eyes see evenings sun,
Across the dark, u~nfathomed blue,
Our thoughts are with the ones at
Our hearts send out our love to
you.
While SHOWS of angry winter fall,
And sheen the hills Of France IN
white, -.
While cold the winds blow overhead,
The murky, day fades into night.
Yet vistas bright of other years
Bring back the long-passed joys
anew.
And as come dreams of days that
Our hearts send out our love to
you,
For those who face the mighty guns,
For those of us who stay behind,
For those who, fever-racked, viii, lie
On beds of pain, with troubled
mind;
For those who've done their earthly
bit.
Who sleep beneath the mornings
dew;
For those that are and those that
Our hearts send out our love to
you.
While ring the bells Of Christmas
tide
throughout the land where Christ
is King.
The phrase resound: peace Unto
Men"
For reace, the sword of war will
bring.
Our souls are rife with victory's
hope,
Soon shall we cross again the blue.
And I'll that day of days shall come
Our hearts send out our love to
YOU.

TEACHERS SALARIES DURING
THE ENFORCED VACATION

The prevalence of epidemic
throughout the state has forced the
general closing of our schools. in
many instances teachers will be out
of their work from four to eight
weeks and the question very natural
ly arises as to the payment of teach
ers salaries. The law of the state
is very specific as to the first four
weeks, the teachers are entitled to
this pay. As to the subsequent
weeks the laws of our state do not
cover this question specifically, and
the only guide we have in determin-
ing procedure is the sense of justice
of the administrative school officials
of our state.
The procedure throughout the
state so far as we have been able
TO determine it is for the teacher
to receive her full years salary with
opportunity for her 10 teach the full
time required, if possible. This has
come to us as a national calamity
and the teachers should not be ex-
pectcd to bear the whole burden OF
the enforced vacation, neither should
he show any dlsposit OF to escape
|tl NildlN Vi TIC Jul uIu. ~ oCSiio
to me that when the teachers have
received the full pay for the first
months enforced vacation that in the
absence Of any provision in our law
school officials would be justified in
going further and paying for the
other weeks of the vacation and not
be asking too much for the teacher
to make up if possible the time lost
over the four weeks by part time
work on Saturdays. Christmas holi-
days, and other days of the school
year designated as legal holidays.
Under date of October "a DR.. +.
M. Carrier member OF the board of
education at Santa Rita, writes me
a letter which may be in point as
follows:
Il am in receipt OF your letter of
October 2lst, 1918, concerning the
payment of wages of teachers dur
ing their enforced vacation. The
Santa Rita school board will pay
each teacher her full salary all the
time that they are out Of school on
of this epidemic"
In many cases the teachers dur
ing this vacation ON account OF the
severity of the epidemic have %volun-
teered to assist in Nursing and car
ing for the sick in the communities
and have been doing in other cases
Red Cross work ever since the
schools closed. In such cases it would
be my recommendation without any
reservation whatever that the
teachers be chcerfully given their
salary in full and not asked to make
up any of the time lost thereby

TO PREVENT A MISTAKE.

When Santa comes down the Chin
ney
With his heavy pack Of toys,
How does he know which stockings
are girls
And which belong to boys?
Suppose he should fill boys stock
ings
With tea-sets and dolls-Oh myt
And should give tops, guns, and mar
bles to girls!
Wouldn't there be a cry?
It's no use to borrow trouble
At this time so full Of joy.
But III pin this note on my stock
ing's toe;
"Dear Santa, I'm a boy"

Allied prisoners began arriving from

Metz. where wounded prisoners are
| arriving in patches Of fifty, the Red
Cross provided a truckload OF me-
dical supplies. food and cigarettes,
these articles reaching the hospital
when the supplies of the French
were about exhausted. The Red
Cross distributed 1900 blankets to
the prisoners concentrated at Nancy
and established a cantccn which fed
several thousand e Many Of
condition, two of them dying while
waiting for food. Five tons of food
we're sent to Stenay to provide for
the American and French prisoners
coming through the lines at that
point.
The American Red Cross Commits
sion to Switzerland has arranged
with Alfred Ney. a Swiss neutral
delegate with large German expert
ence and acquaintance, to go into
Germany and take charge Of all sick
and wounded American prisoners not
strong enough to be moved at the
present time. The plan is to place
all these Americans in a central hos

Only Sincere Motives Best

Remember this little rule for sue
cess: Let your every act start from
a sincere interest in the thing to
be done; never from the mere desire
to impress others with your person
atty. Sincere motives are the firm
foundations upon which actual &C
conplishments are built. Connected
motives are the shifting sands upon
which failure is built. The man who
works only for the purpose of i'm
pressing others with his personal
worth cannot hope to compete with
the man who has a definite ideal
to work out, a purpose to accom-
plish.
