Perhaps they would like to return to the private own

express companies charged dollar for carrying package

The idea of our British cousins that the civil

In 1915 there rich enough to pay the whole
American national debt.
Let US hope that there won't be anybody rich enough
pay the national debt of thirty forty or more billions when
this war ends.
That would be too much for one man, no matter how
good his intentions or how great his wisdom.
Let also realize that the debt that pling

Our losses in however great will be proporonately
smaller than the civil loss.

treat our national debt as oeso we shall be able when

The Reinstatement of Married Women School Teachers
Long Step Ahead
By. Beatrice Fairfax.

They Protested Against Bakers
Bread.
But the best reading Of all,
along these lines, is the weltering
eloquence evoked when the ques-
ton Of public bakeries was first
preached in this country. 1t was
then predicted that families fed on
"the bread of commerce" would
speedily become extinct. Men en-
tirely in their senses talked elo-
quently Of a nations decline, IN
fortified by mothers bread and
doughnuts.
1t was a sort Of: The hand that
rolls the biscuit rules the world
prevarication, intended to keep
women pacified while they were
debarred from education. In spite
of such eloquence, the bakeries
throve and fiourished, and the
kneading and baking of the fam
lily bread was one duty lifted
from the almost breaking Shout
ders of mother" who died very
young in those days, to judge by
the ages inscribed on tombstones
of the period.

A Soldiers COnvalescent Hospital in
Southern California
Continued from First Column. }

And the trip through the Panama canal coming from
Europe for wounded men, and the glorious journey back

reward
There are and will be, unfortunately tens Of
thousands more men of the American army lying with pale
bloodess faces their eyes asking Where they going

The answer should be: Your Government will send you
to the best and finest place in the world that you may
cover the strength and health sacrificed for your country
''You are going to beautiful southern California where
the richest man would send his You will live amid
flowers in sunshine in the land Of cheeruess the most
beautiful part of your country.
"There you will get WELL and returning to your home,
you will have Europe where your duty done Cali

These Verses Were Written and Sent to
The Times by Washington School Girl
YOUTH
By HELEN L. FAUST.

When the breath fadeth and Auumn dawn is
Will the memories it the best Of all the
Remain within my lonely to comfort aid and cheer,
Or will the breath Winters white bier
tell the days spent with thee,
The memories we well, are they in Eternity?
Or folded away like the petals of Lfe dream
Is there hopes however far off they seem?
When the and Death has claimed his fee
Will Old Age Youthb blended to soar to Eternity,
And will the of long ago its petals open wide,
And Youth below ifes ocean tide!
And the youth lonely shall add comfort and aid
and cheer,
shall know when lifes course is run
Youth drea ve forever and and
through ages it not to dust and decay
Yes, Youth lives every cline.
The Washington times., 1918-03-26

then 80 many Of the economic
measures urged by the author have
become part of our daily routine
that it Is difficult to realize the
antagonism they aroused only q
little while ago.
Changes Due to Social Conditions.
These changes may be attributed
TO social conditions rather than to
the activities of reformers, and so
gradually have they replaced the
old order that the reactionaries-
always the last to realize the pres
ence OF reforms-are still hardly
aware Of them.
Twenty-Five years from now it
will make very good reading, the
Grundian protests against the EN-
ployment of married women. The
foolish attitude that greets any
change in the existing orders is
well-nigh unbelievable after the
reform has been accomplished.
During the civil war ten thou
sand slaves signed petition to the
President begging that freedom
should not be given them. No one
protested more vigorously against
the abolition Of suffice in India
than the ladies who were destined
to be burnt alive.
The Washington times., 1918-03-26

Suspension Of laws or ordi-
nances prohibiting married
women from teaching school
was advocated by Federal
Commissioner Of Education
Claxton yesterday as the best
means Of replacing the large
numbers Of teachers who have
quit to enter war work. In
letter to city, county, and
State school authorities Com
missioner Claxton pointed out
that many sections are facing
a shortage Of teachers because
higher wages paid in CONNER
cial and industrial occupations
are attracting many young
women from the schools.
"Unles something can be
done to relieve the situation"
says DR.. Claxton, "the places
Of many trained and expert
enced teachers will be taken
by young teachers without ex-
perience or professional prepa-
ton"
Good News for All.
There is very good news for
working people in this decision Of
Federal Commissioner Of Education
Claxton, stated in the Washington
Post few days ago. 1t is the en-
tering wedge that will make pos
sible a greater degree Of home life
for that huge army of workers
not alone teachers-the country
over, who paradoxically enough,
have been at the same time both
too poor and too well off to marry.
Marriage" as one Of them once
said to me, "is the privilege of the
ultra rich and the squalid poor
we intermediates can't afford to
marry"
AS the cost Of living continues
to soar, 1t becomes increasingly
difficult for a man, with a modest
salary, to ask a young woman who
has been comfortably reared to
share with him what amounts to
positive sdualor; whereas their
Joint salaries would insure a COM
Portable home life.
Feelings Of Mrs. Grundy.
The thing that has made the
marriage Of two working people
impossible has been what Mrs.
Grundy has designated: "My feel
ings on the subject" Mrs. Grundy,
as usual, has INDUCED her feel
ings," but she has not paid any Of
the bills, or lent a hand 10 the per-
picked young couple.
Again it has been reserved for
the war TO brush aside lightly an
other Of our cardinal prejudices
and force US to accept a state OF
affairs that only a few years ago
we denounced as attacking the
foundations Of society.
When "Women and Economics"
was published, twenty years ago,
the book was received as a highly
revolutionary document. 1t was
denounced, fought over, and re-
,earded generally as a torch with
which to kindle the home. Since
The Washington times., 1918-03-26

France and England, both ma
tons fed wholly on commercially
baked bread, have given q very
good account of themselves in the
present fight, and we, too, have
produced some fine specimens
during the last fifty years, in
spite of the dismal predictions in
regard to bakeries.
The Next Illusion to Go.
The next illusion to go, and the
decision of the Federal Commits
sioner of Education Claxton is a
mighty push in the right direc-
ton, will be that women must give
up their positions when they
marry. In the case of married
women school teachers, we have a
maternity leave of two years
granted on application. No sal
airy is paid during that period, but
at the end of the leave the woman
may return and resume her posi-
ton as teacher.
have heard of one or two
apartment houses in New York
where provision is made for chill
dren where the mother is en-
ployed. There are model nurseries
in charge of child-experts and
trained nurses, and the children
are well and scientifically cared
for while the mother is down town
attending to business.
The Day Nursery Evokes No
Protest.
Among the class of women who
furnish the country with the bulk
of unskilled labor we have had
for years day nurseries, where
children are taken in the morning
by their mothers and called for
when the days work is done. /
recall one such for French chill
dren in New York, whose mothers
were chiefly employed in laun-
dries, and / have never seen a
happier or healthier lot of chill
dren as they played their games
and chartered in French in the
neighborhood Of Washington
Square.
We have never made any objec-
ton to the day nursery for the
convenience of working women
their lives, their joys, and TRACE
dies were too far removed from
the ken of Mrs. Grundy to mat
ter. But we may expect no such
tolerance-or indifference-when
it comes to the professional class.
Though Mrs. Grundy never earns
dollar and could not if she tried,
she will, in some subtle manner,
feel that her rights have been in
vaded when the teacher, the Gov
eminent clerk, and the stenogra-
pher marry and continue to work.
In some inexplicable way Mrs.
Grundy will feel that something
that is hers has been invaded, and
she will protest accordingly.
But her disapprobation will not
deter the vast army of progress
sive men and women, given at last
a chance to establish homes that
promise to continue the best ira
\ sskions of our country

A Good Suggestion and the Government Should

The suggested hospital for convalescents near Los
Angeles southern California should be pushed to reality
not by California alone but by the common of the
