TWELVE HUNDRED TEXAS
SCHOOLS WITHOUT TEACHERS

Houston, Tex, Nov 29.-Twelve
hundred public schools in Texas are
without teachers because Of low sal
aries paid. Professor A. Caswell Ell
lis, of the University Of Texas, told
the Rotary Club at a meeting here.
"Unless the people Of the State act
upon the gravity Of the public school
situation in Texas the next genera
ton Of Texas will be only half-edu-
Gated and unfit TO compete with the
children of other states where ade-
quate educational facilities are pro-
vided," DR.. Ellis said.
DR. Ellis pointed out that teachers
salaries have been increased only 2S
per cent, whereas the cost Of living
has increased 1913 per cent The re-
suit, he said, is that more than one
third Of the trained teachers in the
public schools have quit, and their
places cannot be filled.
Low salaries, DR.. Ellis said, not
only have caused loss Of many teach
ers. but have forced boards Of educa-
ton to employ inefficient teachers.

80, 200, io3 ALIENS CAME TO U.
s. IN LAST CENTURY

Washington.-Wh While Congress IS
considering closing Americas door
to immigrants as means Of prevent
ing the spread of red propaganda, II
is interesting to note that S3,200,lO3
immigrant aliens were admitted 10
the United States within the past
hundred years This is one-third OF
our population.
Since the war there has been de-
cided drop in immigration. The sec
ond biggest immigrant year IN
American history was 1914, when
1,21s,4S0 were admitted. The rec
ord year was 1907 with i,2S5,3l9.
Immigration that year totaled Lab
per cent Of the total population.
There were fewer immigrants
admitted during the 1918 and 1919
fiscal years than in any year since
1863. But 110,61s foreigners were
admitted in 1918 and only i4l,l52 IN
1919.
The 1918 entries were but one
tenth Of one per cent. The 1919 adj
missions were only thirteen-hun-
dredths Of one per cent.
Europe has been Americas heav-
lest contributor in the past century.
1852, 1873 having come from that
continent. Asia contributed 7Ss,29O
and British North America l,ss3,26H
The United Kingdom ranks first as
source Of American immigration
since 1920. Germany, Italy, Aus
tria- Hungary. Russia and British
North America come in the order
named.
France has not contributed heavi-
ly to the American melting pot, send
ing but 523.S20 persons in the past
hundred years.
Since the advent Of the A. +. F.,
however. and the splendid impression
il made upon the French population,
chances are French immigration VIII
increase rapidly.
Ireland's contribution to the Unit
ed States in the last 100 years has
been i.3fs.759 immigrants, num-
Der practically equal TO its present
population Of 4,390,219.
England proper has sent 2,434,l44
inhabitants.
During the past century Germany
sent 5,494 OBS immigrants to the I'm
tied States, the bulk Of them coming
soon after the Civil War. although
1882 established the high record with
25O,630 Since then there has been
a sharp decline in German immigra-
ton. Indications are that il viii be
many years before Congress permits
German immigration in any large
numbers
Italian immigration is Of compare
lively recent growth The total Of
arrivals prior to 1855 was insignifl-
cant. but by 1880 there was an ever
increasing number, rising to 100, l3S
in 1900. The high record was in
1907 when il was 2S5,73l or twenty
two per cent Of the total immigration
for that year. In all arrivals from
Italy in the past century total 4,lOO,-

Austria Hungary has sent 1905
46i persons TO America, while Euro

The record Of the crow is like its

a writer in Detroit Free Press says.
1t may be that in the great plan Of
nature, some time in the past, the
crow served a useful purpose-like-
wise the hawk and the buzzard. Take
the buzsard, for example. Once pro-
tected by human laws everywhere be-

better to burn OF bury the dead-leav-
ing no excuse for the existence Of the
disease-carrying buzzard. So, in the
beginning, the mission of the crow, we
may conjecture, was to preserve some
equilibrium, some balance in the econ
Omy of nature. It may be he was
placed here to hold in check the weed

Cattle lice are injurious to all
classes Of cattle, but the greatest losses
occur in young stock and poorly nour
ished old animals. Losses + caused
by irritation, digestive disturbances,
arrested growth, low vitality, and In
creased death rate.
Ordinarily lice on cattle are not OBJ
served until they become so numerous
that they cause unmistakable signs Of
annoyance. Usually the animals whose
lousy condition first attract attention
are the poor, weak, unthrifty members
Of the herd, and frequently the owner
thinks they are lousy because they are
unthrifty, whereas the unthrifty condi.
ton may be caused by the lice.
Three kinds Of lice are commonly
found on cattle, and all three species
may be present at the same time, but
the same method Of treatment may be
used for any Of them. When they
make their appearance on the cattle
during the fall or winter they usually
spread rapidly until every animal is
