tion of mental and physical defects in

school nurses, the establishment and
maintenance of school dental clinics,
and the instruction of the people in
the principles of health and santa
ton"
The states are to be allotted shares
of the appropriation on the basis of
total population according to the last
census. This provides a federal ap-
preparation of 21A cents for each per-
son and requires an equal amount
from the state, making a total of
431z cents for each person. This is a
small per capita amount, but for each
state there is substantial sum.
Colorado's population in 1910 was
799,024. She would therefore receive
from Congress for physical and health
education s173.7s7.72 annually. An
equal amount from the state would
make available S347 ,575.44 annually.
The war has made US newly con-
scious of the number physically unfit
for military service. Under the first
selective draft 730,756 men were re-
jected for physical reasons after ex-
animation. This is % per cent of the
total number actually examined by To-
cal boards. Thousands of these per
sons are made fit by proper treat
ment- The economic loss due TO pre-
ventable illness is not less than 10
per cent of our total present produc-
ton. When one considers the loss of
productive power due to remedial de-
fects and TO i'll health that might
easily have been avoided, he is con-
WINGED that the sensible thing is for
the nation and the states to cooper
ate in an educational program that
will avoid this economic loss, and, at
the same time, give to people healthy
and, therefore, happy and efficient
bodies.
Preparation OF Teachers.
Natural talent must be prepared for
teaching just as it is prepared for
law, medicine or engineering No
state in the union has gone far enough
in teacher preparation program to
supply its schools with good teachers.
More than 100000 teachers, out of
522, 900 in the elementary schools, are
nineteen years of age or younger
More than 10000 have had no school

ing beyond the eighth grade. More
than 100000 teachers begin teaching
each September and less than one
third of these have had any special
preparation for their work. These
immature, unprepared teachers natur-
ally go to the schools that pay the
lowest salaries-the rural and village
schools.
Colorado had 6,573 public school
teachers in 1915-1916. She would re-
ceive S15s,409.30 for the purposes
would make available a minimum of
S316, 6,S1S-30 for teacher preparation in
her tax supported normal schools and
colleges.
If each state should equal the con-
gressional allotment with a sum be-
yond what is now being spent for
teacher preparation, our nation would
soon occupy the pre-eminence in pub
lie school education that it occupies in
natural resources, production, manu-
featuring, transportation, wealth and
war. The safety and advancement of
democracy demands no less than this
for the sake of its 100000 children.
National Department of Education.
The administration of the funds ap-
propriated involves not only clerical
work, but also judgment, discretion
and executive capacity. 1t ought to
be carried forward in a manner be-
| fitting the nations interest in these
types of education. For these reasons,
the bill provides for the creation of an
executive department of the govern
ment, to be known as the department
of education, with a secretary in the
Presidents cabinet. The bill also pro-
vides for three assistant secretaries,
. L. e L. l..
cation to the department of education,
for the transfer of other educational
work of the government to the de-
partment of education by Congress or
by the President, defines the duties
and powers of the secretary, and pro-
vides funds for the expenses of the
department.
The bill further provides for the
designation or creation by the state
Legislatures of the machinery neces-
sary within each state for the Coop
erative administration of the provis-
ions of the bill, and sets up certain
necessary safeguards, such as systems
of accounting and auditing.
summary of the appropriations
provided in this bill for Colorado:
l. For the removal of illiteracy
S17,92407.
2. For the Americanization of i'm
migrants, S71 ,920.79.
8. For equalizing educational op-
portunities, S52s, s,O74.S2.
4. For physical and health educa-
ton, S173, 1912.
5. For better and more teacher
preparation, S15S, S,4O9.3O.
Total, S950,116.70.
Every one of these types of educa-
ton is of national concern, and the
wealth of the nation will be taxed to
raise the 100000, 900 which will be
distributed on the bases indicated.
Every citizen ought to become active
in support of the bill for it is the most
important educational measure ever
considered by Congress.

BONDS AS AN INVESTMENT.

Liberty loan bonds of the first is
sue were quoted yesterday at s1.e1.
There is one operation which is of the
utmost importance in facilitating the
placing of the next great liberty loan,
and yet which has received no effec-
tual attention. This is the undertake
ing to bring the issues of the last two
loans up to par. The first loan of 81
per cent bonds, by reason of complete
tax exemption, has finally taken care
of itself in this regard, the price after
a period of decline having reached a
level above a hundred. But these
3As are herd by a comparatively few
persons. The As and AIS are owned
by from II to 20 million citizens and
1t is to large majority of these own
ers that the appeal for the new loan
must be made. Their current hold
ings have been at a varying discount
of from 4 or to points.
It Is true that this decline Is ouly
temporary. and that these bonds after
the war will command a premium
which in time will probably rise to
high figures. and, aside from the re-
ward of patriotic action, a substantial
profit will ensue. But there can be
no denying that the fact of these
bonds ruling at discount win be an
obstacle in placing another and much
larger amount of bonds bearing the
same rate of AZ per cent with the
same purchasers.
1t would seem that the effort were
| worth making. before the next loan is
announced. to overcome the discount
at which the present issues are selling.
A sinking fund was provided in the
last loan for purchasing bonds in the
! open market. AS far as known this
has not been used. An attempt to do
so might not succeed in restoring the
selling price to around par, but with
skillful management such a result
might be brought about. great ma
5ority of the owners of these bonds
bought them to hold periodically and
permanently. The very fact that they
are quoted at a discount has induced
some selling. and holding them near
par would undoubtedly tend to keen
many bonds from being offered for
sale.
1t is well. says the Bache Review
to avail of every legitimate expedient
which will make the loan an over
whelming success. That it will be a
notable success in the end there is alb
soluteiy. no doubt because of the SPLEEN.

The. real remedy for profiteering.
according to Food Administrator
Hoover, lies in imposing heavy taxes
on inordinate profits, rather than in
trying arbitrarily to fix prices. Since
both taxes and profits are paid by the
ultimate consumer, it is difficult to
see how an increase in taxes would
have any effect other than to increase
the government revenue. AS long as
the profiteer is permitted to retain
any part of his gain he will continue
to be a profiteer. If the government
take all of it he will quit business In
the words of the late Grover CIeve-
land. the country is confronted with
a condition, not a theory"

The Huns must be finding them
selves, as we say here in the west, "up
against it" They are being given no
rest. The nibbling tactics instituted
by the allies in the early part of this
years campaign, on certain sectors,
have been extended from one end of
the front to the other, with occasional
attacks in force. The armies of the
kaiser are being subjected to contin-
uing losses in killed and prisoners as
we'll as guns and war material The
indications are that their plight will
grow worse. There seems to be no
prospect that it will improve. Mean
while the armies of the allies are
growing stronger day by day. by the
addition of thousands of American
soldiers. No longer can the Huns re-
sist a major attack on one part of the
line without weakening some other
point. On the other hand Marshal
Foch is no longer required to use his
reserves for defensive purposes. He
can throw quickly large bodies of
troops wherever they will prove most
effective in harassing the enemy. The
successes of the allies are being won
apparently without serious losses. Re-
tirement of the Huns to the linden
burg line or beyond at an early date
now seems assured.
