Howehe Great wv ar
Spread Baseball

Thanks to the American doughboS
and his confers, the marine, and
the b~luejacket, sport, the world
over, lie about to have its greatest
revival; and the beginning of this
~far-reaching movement already is
under way and win gather ever-in-
creasing momentum throughout 1919.
1t has been said, ever since. the
days OF the Civil War, that base
ball has followed the American flag,
and this surely has been the case in
Cuba, the PHILIPPINES, China, and
elsewhere; while students from Jap
an and other friendly nations have
carried the game back to their
homes. But II took the fbig war"
to really introduce the game in
France, Italy and England, where Il
became the most popular OF pastimes
among the soldiers. 1t will be corr
tinued in6 France and Italy and,
possibly. in England. In the first
two countries; where excitement is
bread and meat to most OF, the
people, our game lis going to pro-
sress, italy has taken, kindly TO all
0f the American sports introduced,
but baseball made the big hit Some
time ago, the Gazette dello Sport,
the country's most Influential sport
journal, raised a large fund to pur-
chase baseball paraphernalia for the
soldiers, and Is encouraging the
playing 81 the game generally Cen
sral PeRnella has recommended 1t as
part of the regular army training.
In France the game is being
everywhere. and recently, in
compliance with a formal request
rom General Gottez, Director Of
infantry, representing The Ministry
IL War, the Y. M. G. A.. Foyer du
appointed eight physical di-
'ectors to teach baseball and other
american sports in the eight centers

Irmy. Incidentally the *" has
Ihipped $dF3.334 worth OF sporting
foods, including $1,000 baseballs to
England and France for the use Of
he American Allied troops there
the winter and spring.
Possibly, in the not.too-distant
uture, we shall have some worlds
cries with championship teams
rom one or more Of the European
ountries competing against Ameri
as best.
That physical culture hereafter Is
Ding to play a big part in the Eng

here no longer remains a doubt,
he wonderful condition of the Am

Teachers Wanted

The country a better afford to
suffer a shortage Of sugar, or meat, or
fuel, than to submit to a shortage of
schools teachers. H
'Leslie's" says: AT this time there
are $4,000 vacancies in our national
teaching force. According to the fed
erai bureau Of education 100000 chill
dren In rural schools will be teacher
less this winter unless married won.
en-, who once tanghts and other for
mer teachers, can be induced to re-
turn to the, school room, This is a
national problem Of greatest moment
Do the people realize that even a
temporary general shortage OF teach
ers will have its effect not only today,
but will be reflected in the entire
school life Of all those affected by it?
The reason Of the present shortage
Is obvious. Many teachers entered
the army, Others, particularly women,
who constitute the majority Of teach
ers, have been attracted to business
positions BY higher salaries. Many OF
these car not be expected to return
to their former profession unless the
inducement Of better salaries be held
out.
The National Education Association
considers the underpay Of teachers the
biggest single educational problem
and is therefore championing federal
aid to guarantee to all public school
teachers a minimum, living wage. I'll
the schools of rural districts suffer
through inability to command the
services Of capable teachers the whole
nation suffers in a measure. Why
should not the federal government be
expected to help lift such schools to
a higher standard, just as it gives spe-
cial aid to farmers or helps in deepen
ing the channels OF rivers or in the
improvements of harbors2

sYou can thank God for your eli

who took the trouble to inquire into

Our community health in Santa Fe
is known to be largely a matter Of

dominating. The same thing applies
to many other communities. Some

Of other modern states and leave
this vital thing no longer to chance.
It will surprise many to know that
malaria exists in certain localities in
New Mexico little less in altitude
than the capital city; and that the
anopheles mosquito, that deadly
common carrier of germs, can flour
