United States brought no comfort or
cheer to Major Matassarin when he
returned home a few weeks ago He
had seen the disturbances OF Europe
and had visited practically all of the
war ridden countries except Russia
and Italy. But the situation at home.
he asserted today, is perhaps more
alarming than conditions overseas.
In the state house today the army
officer was asked concerning the
worldwide unrest in labor circles and
the relative attitude of American
labor.
1T is my opinion conditions here
are worse than in Europe" Major
Mata ssa rim said. This country seems
to be getting back to normal much
slower than other countries. OF course
there is a let of fighting over there
yet-will be fighting so long as some
one gives them money and food and
clothing. But the tendency to slow
down in the United States is more
pronounced than in the countries 1
have visited
Then Major Matassarin related
some of his experiences and observa-
tions.
I'm Germany" he said. "the dis
turbances that followed the ending of
the war are practically ended. The
Germans have gone back TO work.
They are working full time, too.
a few hours extra service each day.
This extra time goes to the govern
ment-an aid in paying off the enor-
nous national war debt.
THE Germans have a good husky
army of veterans much larger
army seemingly than is stipulated
under the armistice terms. But you
can't keep a nation from having an
army of volunteers"
will Germany stabilize industrially
before other war nations return to
normal conditions?" was asked.
I'm my opinion, yes. They are get
ting down to normal production as
rapidly as possible. Instead of shorter
hours nnd less production. they are
giving longer hours and greater out
put"
While serving in the army of re-
armistice, Major Matassarin was as
signed to transport 1000 war prison
ers. Among the 1000 men were sc
officers of the Mackensen army and
staff.
Every one of those officers had an
orderly and plenty of money. They
were sleek and fat and we'll kept. And
on the trip 1 polished my own shoes
Major Matassarin was formerly city
health officer of Wichia. He enter
ed the medical corps and trained at
Camp Funston before going overseas.
He was transferred from the head OF
an overseas sanitary detachment and
sent into Germany, Austria. Rumania
and Serbia as an officer in the army
of repatriation. Major MatasSarin is
Rumanian, but was volunteered in
the American army service early in
the war.

less than 5000 per year, the doom of

A. F. Senter,. of ottawa, told the
Grade School department meeting at
the auditorium this afternoon.
when the facts which determine
minimum salaries in the commercial
world are compared with those which
determine minimum salaries in the
teaching profession, the advantage is
decidedly in favor of the commercial
positions" Senter declared. 1.-The COM
mon laborer, the carpenter, the miner,
the plasterer, the hod carrier or the
ditch digger receive a higher wage
than many teachers. The washwo-
mans yearly wage is equal to the
amount paid a grade teacher.
Conservative estimates by different
cities as well as by some departments
of our government place the lowest
wage which a woman should receive
in order to have the barest living at
$40 per week. A teacher receiving
SIS per month averages s13 per week
and a salary of 500 monthly yields
only $17.3g.
THE unjust and misery wages and
the discontinued state of mind have
caused teachers in large numbers to
seek refuge in the organizations of
unions with the hope of forcing the
public to pay better salaries This is
done more in self defense than in any
desire to league themselves with labor
unions. 1t is a blot upon American
history that such action has ever been
thought necessary"

an address by Prof. Charles Ellwood.
University of Missouri, greatly inter-
ested the college teachers at the meet
ing of the College department at the
First Baptist church this afternoon at
2 o'clock. The principal thought of
his address was expressed in his clos
ing words:
But the university is the vital
agency in the final establishment and
maintenance of social education, since
it trains for the most part the social
and educational leaders who shape the
opinion and policy of the country. If
the colleges or universities are lacking
in the spirit of social service, if they
do not stand for training for citizen
ship, if they do not encourage social
research. and if they do not aid in the
diffusion of scientific social knowledge
among the masses. it is idle to dream
of socializing education. The univer-
sity must lead, as it has been given
the place of leadership in our educa-
tional system
