Sept. 18.-From the manner in which
the American army received the
news Of President Wilson's reply to
Austria -Hungarys peace note. its att
titude might be characterized as one
of grim approval = i
: The report Of the Austrian sugges-
ton that a peace conference be held
circulated rapidly yesterday from
front line trenches and the officers
and men alike expressed the belief
that none of the Allied governments,
certainly not theirs, would yield to
what they regarded as a trick of the
central powers to gain time.
!, AS the news of President Wilson's
brief answer moved steadily toward
one soldier to another, there was "a
feeling of relief among the officers
of high rank and an air of satisfac-
ton among the enlisted men. The at
titude of the soldiers, often repeated,
was:
"sure he won't The kaiser can't
put over anything like that on him"

Helping Rebuild Europe.

! There is probably lot Of, good
business methods behind the an
nounced plan to put samples OF
American wood on display in the
rooms of the Royal Architects in
London. American lumbermen are
doubtedly figuring or what they
will have to do when the war ends.
and the permanent exhibit of Amer
can building material is likely to be
considerable is likely to be a con-
siderable step in their program.
For England, no less than war

ing to have a lot of building to do
when she has time 20 turn again to
the ways of peace. The lack of new
houses is thing being felt pretty
keenly right here in Philadelphia.
but over on the other side they will
have to build whole cities-houses,
factories, sheds and storage places,
The call for material is likely to be
heavy and long continued.
In the case of England alone The
Nations Business, organ of the
Chamber of Commerce OF the United
ing figures. That magazine says that
England's shortage in houses by the
end of 1918 will amount to about
100000. Going Il little further, and
figuring that each of these houses,
when built, will be on the cottage
plan-livIng room, kitchen and three
bed rooms there will be required
Six million bricks.
Three million doors and frames.
Three hundred million roof tiles.
One hundred and twenty million
states.
Almost twenty-four million square
feet of glass.
Two and a half million windows.
Five hundred thousand tons of ce-
ment.
Six hundred thousand tons of
lime.
This is but one part, and perhaps
small one, OF the building program
which must be faced. America is
going 10 have some catching up of
her own to do. and she must be pre-
pared TO help the Allies catch up, as
well. The first phase Of the war for
America is going to consist largely

rplift 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 meager
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 bus
mess will quickly and eagerly absorb
them.
There is but one remedy. and that
is for the people to look the situa-
ton squarely in the face, and be will
ing 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 pedagogues. We must suit the
reward to the magnitude of the
work.

The Schools i'm Danger.

American schools are in danger of
grave d~preciation unless the Ameri-
can people face. the school problems
squarely 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 high cost
of living
Wages and salaries in almost ev-
cry other vocation have risen pret-
ty much in keeping with the cost Of
living. Still the teachers grind on at
practically the same old starvation
wages.
If the harm done We're only in fore
icS number of people to live on in
adequate wages, the matter would
not be very serious. But the harm
does not stop here. The impossible
ity of obtaining living salaries is in
evitably forcing the ambitious man
or woman out of the profession and
into some other calling that is more
generous.
The natural result must be the
filling of the schools with lot of
second-rate teachers, boys and girls
who regard the school room as mere
ly a stop-gap between their own
school days and a profession--nice
boys and girls, we grant you, but
lacking much of being competent in
structors. The only possible result of
this condition must be the grievous
neglect of the youth of the land.
And just at this crisis this country
can not afford to neglect her chill
dren. America has had too hard a
struggle to reach her present intel
lectual plane to afford to yield one
fraction of the progress she has
made. We have made too many sacri-
fices in the name of education and
culture and intellectual and moral

She Made 'EM HEAR.

Patriotism is q strong instinct in
the breast of certain elderly Eng
lish lady, who was much troubled
at the failure of three of her nephews
to enlist. They were such stalwart,
sturdy fellows that she was asham-
ed of them. When strong hints
had been received in silence, her pa
tience became exhausted. One day
she sent telegram to each of the
three. These all bore the same
message:
Your country is calling. Wire

The present crown of Great Brit

its shape and form date from the ear

of the stones have been used over

the form has never been changed,

Tribute 10 Miss Whitney.

Editor of the Banner
May add a word OF appreciation
to what has already been said of Miss
Cora Whitney? She was undoubtedly
a most valuable member of our teach
ing force, Any one who had ever
seen her in her school.room, could
but feel that she was teaching far
more than the set lesson, and that,
in many of the children before her,
she was forming certain high quail
ties which would be permanent ele
ments of character.
Such work done for the children OF
the village puts us in debt beyond ouI
power TO pay. But much more should
be said il the value of such life is "a

Friday, October 4, 1918.

Though the Fourth Liberty Loan is
twice as big as the third it is easier
TO sell at least in the prosperous com
munities. Buyers of the other bonds,
that is the small buyers, find that they
can save and pay for them with prac-
tically no trouble or self denial. Every
loan that has been fioated has brought
this lesson home to more and more
people. 1t is the same lesson which
successful business men have al
ready learned, and without which they
would not have been successful. The
slackers in the purchase of Liberty
Bonds. according TO those who have
reason TO know. are chiefly persons
who inherited their money and are
greedy and suspicious by nature.
