The Disappearing
Teacher
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir One wonders occasionally whether
the teachers pay bills are going to pass
this winter. And as one wonders one Is
given to musing upon the shallow reasons
that unGerlie our laws the narrow motives
that actuate our legislators
If the legislators at Albany think the
teachers deserve more pay, they may grant
it. Which is a narrow reason.
If the Legislators think an increase in
teachers pay will affect the duration of
their political lives, they may grant It.
A narrow reason.
If the legislators have time, they may
grant it. A narrow reason.
If the legislators think the people would
like to the schools more efficiently con-
Quoted, they may grant it.. A narrow rea.
son.
If it is the prime duty of lawmakers 10
guard the safety Of the commonwealth and
the nation; if it is their duty to enact
in due time laws that will combat the
evils that threaten common security; If 1t Is
their duty to strengthen, fortfy and defend
the institutions of the United States and of
the individual states; if this be their duty,
then it is the urgent duty of the lawmakers
at Albany to grant the teachers a reasonable
wage.
The country has not enough teachers.
When you can go into the heart Of the
great city Of New York and find schools
where daily eight and ten classes are with
out teacher, what shall you say Of the
vast rural districts of our country Yet
the rural population of the United States is
greater than the urban. When you consider
that right here in our own Empire State
we have not begun to meet The problems
that present themselves in the education
Of our country children, what shall you say
when you view conditions such as exist, for
example, in Alaska OF in Key West, in
tho mountains of kentucky, or in any one
Of thousand places where American chill
dren growing up to be ignorant vicious
burdens of society?
The country has not enough teachers.
New York State has not enough teachers
The army of teachers is dwindling day by
day. And it will continue to dwnde 50
long as teaching does not pay at least v-
ing wage. Through sheer neglect we are
weakening the one great barrier that stands
between the United States and the social
unrest that feeds upon ignorance. To pre-
serve the United States, preserve her army
of teachers.

The Tossing Intellect

There happens along a quotation
ascribed to Gilbert Murray which de-
serves a little thought. 1t reads thus:
There is always a place for protests
against the main convention, for re-
bellion, paradox, partisanship and in
dividuaity, and for every personal taste
that is sincere. Progress comes by con-
tradiction. Eddies and tossing spray add
to the beauty of every stream and keep
the water from stagnancy.
We do not know when these words
were written. Very likely before the
war. But they express very we'll the
point Of view Of those intellectuals dur
Ing the war who protested against every
restraint upon protest, and who refused
to concede that war time necessitated
any subordination of personality. They
express the idea, and they also, we think,
suggest its fallacy. Why protests? Why
rebellion? Why eddes and tossing
spray? To "keep the water from stag
nancy" Well, whatever else war time
may be, it is certainly not a stagnant
time. The stream may be too violent.
certainly not stagnant
The truth is that such protests Of per-
sonality as were then advocated accom-
plished nothing in war time save to
irritate and discourage. There is no stag
nation which they can bestir. But the
tossing intellect can sting and annov and
vex. When heavy jail sentences were
imposed upon some of our prominent
protesters and rebels, for example, there
were protests from intellectual and
well-meaning folk who ought to have
known better. The truth is that the
common instinct is far wiser and saner
III war time than the pet theory Of the
intellectual. 1t is at least based on the
facts OF human nature that if war is
to be won it can only be won by q COM
plete subordination Of individual tastes
and hobbies and complete devotion to
the one job. AS 80 often, halfway rea
son is here poor enough substitute FOR
whole-hearted instinct.
Put these same intellectuals in blaz-
ing house and their instincts would over
"heHi tilelr pTetLy lnCellecCualS and
function soundly enough. They would
not insist upon etiquette or a debate or
a compliance with anybodys rules about
anything. They would save what they
could and debate aftcrward In war
time, because the fire Is not actually
scorching them and their rare brains
can work unimpaired by subconscious
reactions, they spin out the most aston
ishing theories as to how the fellows
actually being scorchcd should behave,
and insist upon the most decorous and

The Nickel's Discoverer

At the age Of twenty-five years the
late Frank w. Woolworth, several years
after he had left the farm, was clerk
in country store. His salary was $3.50
n week, and on it he supported wife
and child and saved the capital of $50
with which he started in business.
He lived to see his company operate
1908 stores in the United States and to
erect and give his name to the loftiest
habitab1e edifice ever erected The beau
tiful structure, towering 751 feet is the
familiar first sign and symbol Of the i'm
peral city and it's material wonders.
And all this in a short life from nickeIs
and ten-cent pieces. The Ford of the
merchandising world, the fiivver of
trade, the great fortune came from the
savings of superior organization and q
multitude of transactions
The pessimists steadily croak that the
old America is no more-that oppor-
tunity's door is shut But when a leader
of the business world dies and his biog-
'raphy is read there is commonly repe-
tition of the old, old story Yet Lenine
cannot understand why America will not
go Bolshevik, and the alien class-shrieker
curses as he meets incredulous smiles.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-09
Not a Dummy Senator

Senator Lenroot, Of Wisconsin, in his
address before the Economic Club, said:
II sincerely hope that when the con-
stitution is finally laid before the Senate
for action 1t may be in such form that it
will so safeguard American rights and
interests that it may be ratified; but I
wish very frankly to say that as one
Senator shall consider the proposed con-
sttution upon its merits. I will not be
coerced, through tying this league of ma
tions to peace treaty with Germany,
into voting for it if in my judgment it
will prove disastrous to the American
people,"
Here is declaration worthy of a
United States Senator. Widely adver-
tlsed is the purpose so to intertwine the
peace treaty proper and the covenant as
to make it impossible to ratify the one
or reject or amend the other. In his
Metropolitan Opera House address the
President, using language of menace,
openly proclaimed such was his intent.
The answer Of Senator Lenroot is the
only one possible. If one President
may coerce the Senate in the fashion
sketched other Presidents may do the
same. Parliamentary control over war
making and peace-making will be dead
in this country.
On such an issue there can be no COM
promise. A Senator's oath of office for
bids it. He may not elect between obey
ing the Executive or the Constitution.
The clause Of the Constitution sought to
be ignored is vital and substantivc-is
at the very roots of our institution.
Think Of complaining because kaiser
or czar has exclusive power over for
eign relations and then saying the
United States should have the kaiser
czar system!
No wonder the excuses brought for
ward by Senator Hitchcock were weak
and hollow. His prayers, he said, went
up for amendments to the covenant, as
1t is being secretly prepared in room
with locked door and plugged keyhole,
but if his prayers did not avail he would
yield

The Wheat Harvest

The forecast is for 37,00O,0O0 bush
els Of winter wheat this year, against
harvested crop last year Of b58,000,000
bushels and the year before Of 412,-
100000.
II the spring wheat crop is as large as
last year-363, 100000 bushcls-the total
foreshadowed wheat crop is 1920, 100000
bushels. At the government guaran-
teed price Of $2.26 bushel, the return
to the wheat raiscrs will be $2,712,-
100000.
Nothing like this was deemed possible.
The farmers under the stimulus Of tho
guaranteed price have maintained and
added to their war energy. Not strange
is it that reports come Of rising land
values and extraordinary prosperity in
the wheat states.
Counting six bushels per capita for
domestic consumption, the United States
promises to have 600,000,000 for export
during the next twelve months. The
period of short rations in the war-swept
countries draws to a close.

Usurpation

There are illegitimate means bv
which the President may influence the
action of Congress. He NAV barpa;n
with members, not only with regard to
appointments, but also with regard tn
Legislative measures. He may use his
local patronage to assist members to get
or retain their seats. He may interpose
hla powerful influence, in one covert wav
or another, in contests for places in the
Senate. He may also overbear Congress
by arbitrary acts which ignore the laws
or virtually override them. He NAV even
substitute his own orders for acts of
Congress which he wants but cannot pct.
such things are not only deeply immoral:
they are destructive Of the fundamental
understandings Of constitutional govern
ment, and, therefore, Of constitutional
government itself. They are sure, more
over, in country OF free public opinion.
