LITTLE HOPE OF RELIEF
IN IDAHO CAR SHORTAGE
Congressman Smith Unable TO Get
Anything More Substantial Than
Promises from Officials.

Notwithstanding repeated appeals
made by Representative Addison Smith
to the food administration, the car SER
vice commission, the federal railway
director and other government Of
ficials, for more cars to move Idaho
potatoes and hay, nothing more sub
stantial than promises is forthcoming
from any quarter. Mr.. Smith has
shown that a vast proportion of the
Idaho potato crop will absolutely spoil
unless soon moved, and he also showed
a demand for hay that cannot be
moved for lack of cars, although the
agitation has been going on for weeks
No cars whatever have been provided

Arrangements have been made to
move the Americans in Moscow to Sa-

porting these arrangements to the state

Americans there are well.

Shortage of Teachers

DR.. Augustus o. Thomas. the State
superintendent Of public schools. Sat
urday declared as time goes on it be-
comes more and more evident that
Maine is facing a serious shortage Gf
teachers for the coming year.
The situation is one that has been
growing for period of years but the
war crisis has served to accentuate and
make more acute the deficiency" said
DIR. Thomas.
For a long time we have known that
Maine teachers have been constantly
leaving the State to take positions else
where a more remunerative salaries
The pull Of the dollar has been too
strong to be overcome by any natraul
inclination on the part of many n-
structors who would prefer TO remain

concerned We have produced and
trained thousands upon thousands Of
young men and young women for edu-
cational work in other commonwealth
and il is a well established fact that
a ma jority of those who have taken pc
sitions elsewhere after a short term of
service here have in large measure
been recognized as successful members
of the profession.
"At this time other states are nnh-

STATE HOUSE
Meeting 10 A. NJ Wednesday, March 10

fer added inducements for changing
positions. Again Maine has been called
upon TO furnish more than her quota
and the result is easily seen.
Not only is the above true, but We
have lost directly to government re-
quirements in military and civil capa-
cies q considerable number of our most
promising instructors. Various other
activities such as the Red Cross. the y.
NJ. G. A., and the T. w &. A. have
also been factors in depicting our ,tci-
i've workers in the teaching profession.
The time has come when some Very def
mite steps must i3e taken in order 10
prevent the culmination of a situation
which must be looked upon as ono If
great danger.
The state department of education
in cooperation with superintendent Of
schools and principals of secondary
schools is. ready to launch an intensive
campaign for the adding of new teach
ers and the bringing back of others mo
active service. This. however. is only
one part of the programme. 1t is IS
sential that those who are now serving
should oe retained if our force is to lie
kept upon anything like an efficient
working basis.
TO this end. two specific things are
necessary. In the first place. appropri-
atoms to be made at the annual town
meetings to be held in most towns
within the next month must be Sufll-
GENTLY large to make possible the
meeting of competition SO far as
teachers salaries are concerned. Moth
inaf is more vital than this. If il is
presented forcefully with a clear state
ment as to the exact situation, the re-
Spouse of the citizens in most towns
may be counted upon. \ preliminary
campaign Of education in the towns
should be carried on during the wceh
preceding the annual meeting and IN
fuential citizens should be carefully in
formed so that their influence may he
available if necessary in carrying the
program through.
THE second step is one which should
,e taken Immediately ny supcrinten-
dents If schools II is TO approach
teachers whom they wish to retain
within a very short time and secure
from them definite statement as to
their willingness to return to their
work for the next year with an under
standing that the salary schedule will
be made As favorable as possible. This
whole proposition should be put IN
with the idea of real service as a GOV
erning motive.
Teachers have been called upon
during the past year for AL kinds y
sacrifice in the name of patriot-
ism. but no other form Of service
can be more patriotic in character than
that of continuing to teach the chit
oren of our State even under the temp
.-sasisrv OF more advanta geous contracts

Draft RULINGS

Provost Marshal General +. II. Crow
der has notified Adjutant General George
Mel. rresson, the provost marshal of
Maine, that local boards which have been
delayed in reporting delinquents, in or
der TO make the list as small as possible
must close up the matter at once and
make reports to the provost marshal
1T IS obvious that the most effective
method of handling registrants who en-
deavor to shift their military obligations
TO others is for all concerned to proceed
immediately to treat all registrants as
provided by Sections 1o9 TO 1873, Selective
Service Regulations, and then inaugurate
a vigorous campaign to round up appre-
bend and turn over to the military au-
thorities ali deserters. 1t is equally i'm.

apprehension of delinquents and deserters
