THE SCHOOLS IN DANGER

American schools are in danger Of
grave depreciation unless the Amerl-
can people face the school problems
scuarely, as they have faced every
other problem that has confronted
them. The schools are suffering
from the two all-absorbing problems
OF the day-the war, and the high
cost Of living.
Wages and salaries in almost every
other vocation have risen pretty much
in keeping with the cost of living.
Still the teachers grind on at practic-
ally the same old starvation wages.
II the harm done were only in
forcing number of people to live
on inadequate wages, the matter
would not be very serious. But the
harm does not stop here. The impos-
sibility Of obtaining living salaries is
inevitably forcing the ambitious man
or woman out of the profession and
into some calling that is more gen.
erous.
The natural result must be the fill
ing of the schools with lot of sec
ond-rate teachers, boys and girls who
regard the school room as merely
stop-gap between their own school
days and PROFESSIONALISM boys and
nice girls, we grant you, but lacking
much of being competent instructors.
The only possible result of this con-
dition must be the grievous neglect
OF the youth of the land.
And just at this crisis this coun-
try can not afford to neglect her
children, America has had too hard
a struggle to reach her present in
tellectual plane to afford to yield
one fraction of the progress she has
made. We have made too many sac
rifices in the name of education and
culture and intellectual and moral
uplift to be willing to take one back
ward step. We must go on, in justice
TO future generations in justice to
the ideals that have inspired us.
Already the complaint comes from
many sections Of the country that
numbers of the more competent
teachers, disgusted with the meagre
salaries, are leaving the school room
for more lucrative callings. Once
out, and this talent is forever lost
TO the schools, because the channels
OF business will quickly and eagerly
absorb them.
There is but one remedy, and that
Is for the people to look the situation
squarely in the face, and be willing
to levy taxes for school purposes that
shall put the teaching profession up
and abreast the other professions.
More, perhaps, than on any Other
class is the future of this country
dependent upon the faithful work of |
her pedogogues We must suit the /
reward to the magnitude of the work.

Morris tribune., 1918-07-19

The Leaders," class of young
men in the Methodist Sunday school,
have recently used all the money in
their treasury to buy War Savings
Stamps and will continue to raise
money for this purpose.
Walker Towle leaves tomorrow
for Chicago, where he will spend
several days buying goods for his
store. Mr.. Tow1e makes annual
trips to the cities of the East in
order to buy goods to advantage and
get the latest models and styles.
In the item last week regarding
the part which Company IA" of Nor
ris took in the encampment at Fer
gus Falls, we made the statement
that the Morris company was the
only one present who had been asked
to give an exhibition drill. This
was mistake, as the Morris company
gave the exhibition drill on their
own account and without being re-
quested to do so. 1t was not intended
to convey the idea that the Morris
company was the only company we'll
enough drilled to go on parade, but
it is true that Company "a" stood
out in the fore front on all military
affairs.
Morris tribune., 1918-07-19

Hjalmer Anderson accompanied by
Miss Ruth Olson came up from Cox
alto Thursday to visit at the Malm-
berg home. Mr.. Anderson left for
a visit to White Rock, S. D. while
Miss Olson remained for few days
before going to Eagle Bend.
A large crowd of people attended
the lot sale in Morris last Saturday
and the bidding was lively. Many
lots were sold and the prices ranged
all the way from $50 up to 500,
County Band furnished music and
led the crowd of buyers to the loca-
ton Of the sale.
The annual school board election
will be held in Morris Saturday eve
ming in the Longfellow Building,
commencing at o'clock. On ac-
count of no candidates having filed
this year within the prescribed time,
the ballots will contain only blank
lines and the voter can write in the
name of the person he wishes to vote
for. The law says that any person
desiring to be candidate must file
with the clerk of the district an ap-
plication that his or her name be
placed on the ballot. and this filing
must be made IL days before the an
nual school election. The board
members whose terms expire are J.
R. Kruger and F. A. Mullen.
The birthday of the Republic of
France, the anniversary of the fall
of the Bastile, was celebrated last
Sunday all over the United States
and many people of Morris joined in
paying tribute to the French people
for their heroic sacrifices in the war
for world freedom. At the Metho-
dist church the French tri-color was
displayed with the Stars and Stripes
and Miss Mildred Adams sang the
Marseillaise. Supt. Adams of the
Sunday school gave an account of
how the French anniversary was
established and recited considerable
French history.
