In every community reached
by the Literary Digest there are
readers of foresight, of vision,
broad-minded men and thought
full women who will see may,
perhaps have long since seen = the
critical and compelling import
ance of this problem. We are
directing this appeal to them.
We urge them to compare the
salaries of their teachers with
the wages of those who are do
ing work of an equal value.
There will be a challenge in the
facts that will stir the community
to action.
Let each community invest in
schools so that it may thereby
invest in a trained manhood and
wOmanhood that can play their
part in the great period Of re
building and reconstruction that
lies before us. Let each COM
munity set for its goal, as far as
is practicable, a minimum wage
of at least 81, 900 a year for the
teachers Of america. This
would cost the nation perhaps as
much as we spent so VIGOROUSLY
in but one week of the Great
War.
We are not pleading merely
for the welfare of some single
profession; we are not pleading
for a special class; we are plead
ing for America; Cor her larger,
her brighter, her richer future,
for the fuIfIlment of her glorious
promise. We are pleading for a
coming race of men and women
who shall be qualified to make
complete the work of our fore
fathers who founded this nation
and dedicated it to liberty, and
who will bring to full fruition
the new victories that we have
won in freedoms cause. We
are pleading for wider teaching
Of the principles, the purposes,
and the ideals of this nation that
all men shall know her meaning
and shall have equal access to
her opportunities; that the light
Of Americanism will SO shine
Chat it will flood every home,
every heart, in our great land.

of sugar in an iron frying pan and stir
until it mets to dark brown color.

of salt, saltspoonfuI of black pepper

This will keep for months. Nice to

quarts, and let stand over night. The
next day cook until the peel is tender,
then set away again over night The
next day add ten cupfuls of sugar
and cook until 1t is thick. Put in
glasses and cover with paraffin. This
makes dozen good sized glasses.
To make cheap strained honey

add a quart of water to five pounds
of sugar. and boil, add one pound Of
strained honey to the strip while
warm, mix well and it is ready TO
use.

Justice for the Foster Parents of
Our Children

1t is strange that the gener-
ous-hearted American people,
who poured out their riches so
prodigally in response to every
patriotic, every charitable ap-
peal, and who accorded such en-
thusiastic and liberal support to
every measure and to every
group that helped win the war,
should have neglected to proper
ly encourage and reward the
services of one of the noblest
professions in the field of human
activities "a profession that in
lofty ideals, in unselfsh princi-
Piles, in sacred responsibilities.
stands side by side with the
ministery of the Gospel itself.
We wish to bespeak, with
whatever power and authority
we may have and with such
words as may be granted to uss
some measure of consideration
for the fOster-fathers and moth
ers of our children-the school
teachers Of the United States Of
America.
There is no class of workers Of
which we demand so much. We
commit into their keeping the
minds, the bodies, and the very
souls Of our children in the
tender and formative years of
their lives, and they, receiving
these children, can indeed be
said to hold in the hollow Of their
hands the future of America.
We expect these devoted men
and woman to watch over and
care for our sons and daughters
as tho they were their very own,
to drill them in the arts Of
science, to train them for bust
ness and for citizenship, to in
struct them in manners and in
morals, to do for them those
things which we would do had
we the training and the leisure.
No class has assumed so heavy,
so trying a burden and a re-
sponsibility with such willing
ness as these consecrated men
and women. No class has per
formed their Increasingly heavy
task more devotedly, more con,
scientiously, and with less
thought Of self. No class served
their country more whole-heart-
edly, more Loyalty, during the
trying and tempestuous times of
war, day by day pursuing their
round of duty, day by day help
ing the young people, and through !
the children the parents, to see
the struggle in its true light, |
thus securing the cooperation OF
the community in every measure
undertaken by the Government |
to win the war.
Truly they have made the ma
ton their everlasting debtor.
Truly had they not done their
work so well this republic would
not outlast the span Of a genera
ton.
What then have the teachers
received at our hands in return?
They have received little Of
honor and somewhat less of pay.
Other classes have prospered;
other classes through powerful
organizations have secured gen
erous wages. The teachers have
no spokesman, however, to de-
mand even the simp'e justice of
living wage, so to them we give
their prewar pittance, so meag-
err, so pitifully inadequate, that
it places burning brand of
shame and disgrace upon this
nation.
The men and women who are
the Americans of to-
morrow are being treated with
less consideration than the JAM
tors who sweep out the buildings
in which they are employed:

monthly salary of fifteen teach
ers in the same town was $55.
In another town miner, who,
by the way, was an enemy alien,
drew more the So, 700 last year,
while the salary of the high
school principal in the same
town was $765. We welcome
with all hearts the long-belated
recognition that is being given
to the man who works with his
hands. We believe that this
same workingman will be the
first to join with US in asking
better pay for those who teach
his children.
No wonder there are fifty
thousand vacancies in the teach
ing forces of the schools. No
wonder the ranks are being filled
with weak men and immature
women who merely use the pro-
fesslon as stepping-Stone to
something better. No wonder
there are thirty thousand teach
ers in the United States who
have had no schooling beyond
the eighth-grammar grade.
Small wonder, indeed, that
seven million Of our school-child-
ren being trained by teach
ers, mere boys and girls them
selves, who have had no pro-
fessional education whatever.
When we consider that the
740, 600 teachers Of America are
paid an average salary Of $500 a
year; when, moreover, we con
slider the fact that living costs
have actually advanced 1913 per
cent since the beginning Of the
war, thereby cutting the buying
power of these insignificant
salaries in half, we easily deter
mine that only a fool or a martyr
would choose teaching as a pro-
fession, or would long remain in
it unless these terrible conditions
were swiftly remedied.
What a crime is this! What
an Indictment. What an I'M
pardonable sin at the doors of
an enlightened people who now
find themselves at the head and
forefrontyof the democracies- of
the world! How can we better
prepare for the undertakings of
reconstruction than by setting
ourselves Immediately to rene
dying this perilous condition. In
these trying and chaotic times
when the world is beset by I'M
rest, by anarchy, by revolution,
by the DEVILS brood Of appalling
evils that follow in the train of
war, we must make sure that
the foundations Of our republic
are set on rock THAT it may
stand against the flood.
The peace and security Of the
world of the future will be in
the safe keeping Of the genera
ton now in our schools. These
boys and girls must weave up
the raveled sleeve" Of civiliza-
ton. Their hands must minister
to the wounds of the nations.
Their minds must meet and |
solve the difficult and crucial
problems that will be their in
heritance. Their hearts must
be so imbued with the horrors of
war and with the poverty and
that inevitably follow in
it's wake that they in their time
will enter upon it only as a last
resort in national self-defense or
in support of some great princi-
pie of humanity.
Never has there been a more
need for high-minded,
great-hearted, splendidIy train
ed, 100 per cent American in
structors to drive home the vital
lessons that these times hold.
Never has the future of the ma
ton been so clearly committed
