ELKO COUNTY SCHOOLS ARE
In NEED OF MANY TEACHERS

The demand for teachers in Elko
county this year greatly exceeds the
supply. According to Miss Bertha
Knemeyer, deputy superintendent of
public instruction, there are about if-
teen positions in the rural and town
schools which have not yet been fill
ed and for which there are no can
didates.
Miss Knemeyer has just returned to
Elko from a trip to California, where
she visited the state university, STAN
ford university, the San Francisco
and San Jose schools and the various
teachers agencies to secure men and
women to fill the vacancies in Elko
county. without success. She is still
keeping in touch with appointment
secretaries and teachers agencies in
various parts of the country, but it
appears likely that some of the vacan-
cies will remain untitled.
The shortage of teachers Is not con-
fined to Elko county, but extends all
over the United States. Several
teachers who had accepted positions
there later resigned them to accept
better offers elsewhere. Many teach
ers have given up the profession to
enter positions paying better salar-
les with chance of advancement
and there have been fewer graduated
from the various educational institu-
tons to take their places. 1t is said
that next year the situation will be
even serious than at present.

APPRECIATES VALUE
Of THE NEWSPAPERS

= Editor The Silver State: The 1919
war savings and thrift campaign is to
be taken up with renewed vigor for
the remainder of the year throughout
the twelfth federal reserve district by
the recognized war loan organiza-
ton.
Success or failure of the thrift
movement in the West rests to a
great extent with you and the other
editors of this district. 1t is you who
must carry into the homes of your
community the governments message
of thrift and Americanism, even as
you did with such unfaltering patriot
ism and lack of self-interest through
out the a
No set of men has a profound
appreciation of the value Of news
paper space than the men in charge
of the war financing work in the
twelfth federal reserve district. They
realize that space is the stock on an
editors shelves. They would buy it
If they could, but the tremendous
national scope of the thrift and wal
savings movement prohibits them.
In its essence the thrift movement
in America today is the country's pro-
lection against a threatened invasion
of the political and economic expert
ments 10Y sweeping Europe. The
lowly twenty-five cent thrift stamp,
offering as it does. the wage Garner
the opportunity of economic independ-
ence by regular investment of his
savings in United States securities,
promise to bring America back to the
hardy thinking and independence of
the men who built the republic. The
thrifty, saving, Independent man has
no patience with those who would
tear down America. Sincerely yours,

I wonder If Nevada has ever given
much thought to this matter of n

from this state merely as a matter of
form, or because they are good fell

selves and nobody has the ambition
to look for regular candidates, or
what?
1t would strike an onlooker that Ne
vada might send somebody to the ma
tional Senate who could bring back
something-in sight. There are good
looking young fellows here anyone
of whom could represent all right,
and go through the motions, and
frank out kidding letters (Which their
secretary wrote) to their admiring
constituents. And the young fellow
could at least bring home a nice col
lection of feminine photographs and
perhaps a stick-pin or two.
A real good Nevadan could un-
doubtedly do some work toward in
forming the down-East folk what
really exists in Nevada, and We might
then escape these calls for the Fedora

capital and vote on something or
other, and be sure to get back home
in time to have supper on the table
at six-ffteen, like they do at Column

den truck seeds which we are sup
posed to grow on u little 10x15

A Newpaper's S Soul

"Has the newspaper a soul?
is the query which titles a recent
editorial in the ST, Petersburg
Times. The Times answers its
own question affirmatively, and
we agree, although that soul is q
reflected one. Good or bad, it
speaks of the character OF the
men responsible for it. Judging
from the exchanges which come
to the EDITORS desk, Florida news
papers are pretty well taken care
of, and speak splendidly for the
attributes OF the men behind
them.-St. Augustine Recond.
What is meant by soulg No
newspaper per Sc has any such
thing; that is, not a human soul.
The newspaper, in ipso, is a mach
iRe without any human feelings.
1t may be conducted by a person
who has a soul, so to speak, but
what is the soul of a man or wo-
man? 1t is something that is
impalpable, invisible and indes-
tructihle and it may be intimately
allied with the emotions. We
think it is combination Of the
emotional and intellectual sys-
tens, for these, being invisible
and intangible, cannot possibly be
destroyed and are, therefore, i'm
mortal. If by soul is meant a
human feeling for humanity, then
every newspaper has soul in its
editor.

financial loss, or that we do not
like the feeling of safety against
attacks by ruffians when we are
out at night, because we do. But
much more do we desire for our
children better safeguards against
disease enemies, especially as we
could not be compensated for the
loss of those children by any in
surance company. The real rea-
son why we give more money for
and ordinary police protection
than we do for sanitary police
protection is that the public does
not, as yet, realize how much
more practical efficient disease
prevention is. When the health
officer tries to tell the other au-
thorities, they commonly assure
that he is only trying to increase
his salary or hold his position.
Only the students know, as yet,
how definite and practical is the
knowledge Of how to combat and
control preventable diseases.
When people learn more about
the real nature Of communicable
diseases and find that they follow
as definite laws as those that con-

mand will be made to have those

Tarpon King is With Us

John f. Murrell, of Washing
ton, d. c., a guest of the Seminole
Hotel, is the tarpon king of Flor
ida just now and should wear the
championship belt; and if there
isn't championship belt, one
should be made for him. AS The
Herald stated, Wednesday he
captured an eighty-five pound tar
pom after an exciting chase and a
hard fight.
Thursday he added to his
laurels by capturing two-one
tipped the beam at ITO and the
other weighed 105. These fish
made hard fights, but Mr.. Muir
rell seehed to ENJOY the exercise
Mine Host w. fB. Sealey was with
him Thursday and enjoyed the
chase and capture, although not
participating in the latter.
Friday, Mr.. Murrell went out
again and, this time, picked on q
baby tarpon; it weighed only 70
pounds. On each occasion, he
had Charley Pratt for his guide.

PURCHASING HEALTH
More Attention Given Fire Pro-
lection than to Prevention
of Disease.

To constant lessening, but
still far too a degree, we care for
other things far more than we do
for health. Take, for example,
the protection that we (the
phblic) still give to our property
against fires and to our lives
against the guns, knives and
sand bags OF thugs. If we were
to compare the amount paid in the
treasury of any town or city for
police and fire protection with the
amount paid to the health depart
ment, we would find that our
preparedness" still takes the
form OF frontier town. 1t
might be supposed from such
comparison that we prefer to
save our, houses from fire rather
than our babies from disease, or
that we are more afraid9of burg
lars and foot pads than we are of
the germs of typhoid fever, dysen-
terry, tuberculosis and other pre-
ventable diseases.
1t is not that we do not appre-
ciate the luxury of protection
from fire in our houses, even

Nurses Certificates Awarded

The list published in last
weeks Herald of ladies who had
taken the Red Cross course in
nursing, contained some errors,
which arose from the list having
been phoned to us. The Herald's

understand those languages, it is
natural that errors should occur.

Cross examination and been
