SERVE AT HOME
Teachers as Badly Needed as
Red Cross Nurses.
Kansas Girls Urged To Prepare
for Work.

Lawrence, Kan. Jan. 25.-Teaching
in a grade school or high school may
not seem as picturesque or romantic
as being a Red Cross nurse or driving
a war motor car. but there is big
measure of duty in it that beckons
Kansas girls to take the places of the
hundreds of Kansas men teachers who
have joined the colors, says F. J..
Kelly, dean of the school of education
at the University of Kansas.
Practically all of more than 1900
men teaching in Kansas grade schools
in 1916 have left or will leave the
school room for the duration of the
war; said Dean kelly. 'tOf the 972
men, not including superintendent
and principals, teaching in Kansas
high schools in 1916 fully 500 have
volunteered or are in the draft age
and a majority of their number will
join the army The education of
young Kansans faces a grave crisis
that the public is failing utterly to
appreciate. One thing that must be
kept up is the educating of the chill
dren. We can't let it fall back one
bit in quality. But we can't keep it
up with the growing shortage of
teachers.
There are two possible sources for
the public schools to obtain teachers.
They must call back the former
teachers hrOm MONIES ana Otner call
ingS and the young college women,
whether they must earn a living or
not, should go into the class room.
The boards of education must seek
out the old teachers in their commun-
ties and must urge the young women
to take up the work. There is no use
looking to the universities and nor
mails to turn out an adequate supply
of teachers in these times. Already
they cannot meet the demands made
upon them and the situation is grow
ing more serious daily

25.-Count Won Hertling, the imperial
German chancellor in his address be-

added that the financial position of all

A letter written by C. A. Prouty,
of the United States Railway Ad-
ministration differentiates between
Industrial activity" and "agricul-
tural development" as it has been
maintained by the railroads. 1t il
declared that the former must be
essentially curtailed, mainly for the
reason that owing to shortage of ma
terials and supplies including trans
portation, the industrial activity of
this country is necessarily to be lin
tied during the period of the war;,
The Director General of Railroads,
Mr.. McAdoo, and his advisors, are of
the opinion, however, that the agri-
cultural activities of the railroads
should continue, and Mr.. Prouty says
that they are to be allowed as much
money for expenditures in the South
and Southwest this year as they had
last year. -
But "last year" was lean year.
AS matter of fact the advertise
ments Of the railroads advising peo-
pie to Ego South" which were so
common in years gone by, are now
missing from current periodicals. At
least one of the biggest of all south
ern railroads, has closed it's land de-
partment entirely, and its employees
have been transferred to other
branches of the railway service.
There are many people who be-
lieve that the railroads that have
heretofore carried on splendid devel-
opment work in the South and West
should be afforded means to impress
upon the public mind the potential
titles of their regions for agricultural
development in order to Offset the
propaganda which has diverted tens
of thousands of Americans from their
native land, and landed them over
in Canada.
The cold fact remains that rail-
road development, which has been
the backbone of exploitation and in
vestigation, has come to standstill.
The new resources of raw materials
that the business interests feel should
be utilized in completing factories
for the manufacture of things need
ed in the war, have been relegated to
the discard for the present. The
Railroad Administration leaves no
doubt in the matter that they are not
encouraging the creating Of new in
dustries.

of death with violent attack Of

SPREADING HOME SERVICE IN
KENTUCKY.

'The real need for Home Service
work has now dawned on the mind of
the most remote chapter" writes
Shelley D. Watts, American Red
Cross supervisor, in Kentucky.
b The great difficulties under which
this need has been told to these re-
mote chapters in the mountain State
of the Division gives some idea of
the eagerness of the Red Cross to
make Home Service universal.
Mr.. Watts letter tells of horse
back rides over mountains, hack
rides over rocky roads, lifts in an
auto that "can go no where except
in good society,"" and "jolt wagon"
trip over creek bed roads.
At one point, asking the best way
to get to the town, Hazel Green. he
found that two and one-half days
by train and hack would get him to
his destination, just eleven mile
acrost the mountain" from where he
was stopping. Whereupon he linked
acrost' with grip, brief case and
umbrella in hand, arriving at i've
o'clock in the afternoon. having av-
eraged three and one-half miles an
hour. -..- 70
In such manner Home Service has
to "go over" the mountain tops and
up the branches" to reach the iso-
lated families of the soldiers and
sailors.

AMERICAN AND GERMAN +
NANCES. =,


Pessimistic Americans who view
with alarm our increasing national
obligations may derive a great deal
of comfort from a comparison of the
financial condition of the United
States contrasted with that of Ger
many.
The total resources of the United
States are estimated at about $780,
900, 100000; our annual earnings
are estimated at about $50,000,-
100000. Our national debt, in
GLIDING the third liberty loan, may
be put around $4,000, 900 900.
Before the war our Government
was spending about $1,000,000,000
a year. When the war is ended, in
terest charges, less the interest col
lected from our loans to our allies,
Government insurance expenses, and
other necessary expenditures growing
out of the war may conservatively be
estimated at something like $1,000
100000. We are confronted, there
fore, when peace comes, with raising
only couple of billions a year rev.
enue, a slight task for a nation of
such tremendous wealth, capacity
and resources.
The resources Of Germany before
the war were estimated to be $780,
600, 0000,0 900. The annual expendi-
lures then of the Imeprial Govern
ment were about $500, 900, 900. Her
debt now is $30,000,000,000, and
her resources and man power have
been severely impaired. After the
war she is confronted with additional
expenditures growing out of the war
totaling some $4,000,000,000.
The interest of her war debt, even
if the debt grows no larger, will be
about $500, 900, 200. Although she
is niggardly in her pensions to pri-
vate soldiers and their families, ST.
600, 100000 year would hardly
suffice to pay even small pensions to
her injured and the families of her
soldiers who have been killed. Her
war debt must be paid some time and
a sinking fund Of per cent. would
add $1,500,000,000 to her annual
taxation. Here is total increase Of
81, 000, 900, 900 all due to the war.
OF course both the United States
and Germany may greatly increase
their debts, but the increase will not
change the relative situations.
The German Government has drain
ed the German people of their gold,
even their jewels and heirlooms, and
yet the Imeprial Bank of Germany
now has but little over 100000, 900
of gold in its vaults. The United
States has made no call upon the peo-
pie for the precious metal, and yet
to-day has in its Treasury vaults
practically $4,000. 100000 of gold
coin and bullion.

CHOOSING ROAD MATERIALS

There are many inalienable rights

friends nor enemies have any call to

the brains of dead haddock and we

Possesses in many places to select the
kind of pavement laid in front Of his
property everybody has justification
for raising strong objection. The
road is for the public use, and even
when a considerable part of its i'm
movement is paid by local assess
ment the community contributes the
reminder Of the cost and therefore
should have voice in determining
its nature. The average taxpayer is
not a road expert; the ability to
drive an automobile over a slippery
pavement without skidding does not
make him one, although it may
make him helpful critic. 1t takes
years of study and experience to de-
velop a road expert. He must know
not only the method of constructing
types of roads under different condi-
tions, but also the economical ad-
yantages of all these different types.
Sooner or later he will be employed
on every important road undertaking
and the beginning Of his service
should be at the outset of the work,
so his knowledge may be the guide
for the selection of the type of con-
struction. To wait until the contract
is let, is to throw away very large
part of the help he can give. No en-
gineer can be held responsible for the
behavior of roads unless all the steps
that must be taken in organizing and
carrying on the construction have
his approval. Highway
