BETTER CITIZENSHIP

At the eleventh annual rural life
conference held at the University
summer school from July 20 to 25,
Dr. j. A. c. Chandler. president Of
William and Mary college. spoke on
PROBLEMS Relating to Education as
They are Presented to the Nation as
q Whole" He stated that the world
struggle has demonstrated a thousa nd
weaknesses in our Industrial and edu-
Scational systems. Some of the points
OF weakness are:
!. To the astonishment Of the Fed
erai government II vas found that a
large number Of our soldiers OF the
nrst draft could not read or write
Nearly Is per cent were illiterate.
NOR were these confined to any par
ucuiar class. 1t included those OF all
sections and races. II means that the
men could not understand orders In
writing. When this condition OF az.
iairs fully came to light, there was
the feeiing that something must be
oone to abolish illiteracy.
=. There were "A great many edu-
Gated who could not speak or write
the English language. II was found
tnat IN some OF our states 30 per
cen' OF the children were being edu-
cats1 IN a foreign language.

MEMPHIS TEACHERS

Memphis. Aug. 23.--Negotiations
between the Memphis Teachers ASSOC
citation and the board OF education
over recognition Of collective bargain
Ing have been held in allegiance as q
result Of the decision OF the teachers
to sign notices OF acceptance submit

board. The decision TO sign was
reached upon the advice Of r. G..
Brown, attorney for the union OF
teachers. who assured them they
would not sacrifice the fundamental
OF collective bargaining by signing
the boards notices. failure to sigh
which by July Is was regarded by
the board as equivalent to a resigna-

President Chandler then outlined

These are:
/. The creation OF a nationa! de-
partment Of education having at It's
head q cabinet officer. People should
know that education is national af-
fair. II we deal with foreign coun-
tries Internationally we need attaches
of education in foreign lands. FL
nally we need coordination OF the va
rious departments.
2. The recognition Of the need OF
federal aid to the states. This does
not mean national control in any wise
but 1t IL merely national aid through
the principal OF subvention. This
principle ts not new. having been es-
tablished by the Federal Land Grant

dence developed from an examination
of the bank books Of the State Bank

that the financial condition of that
institution is in much worse shape
than at first suspected and that the
president Of the bank, Pierce Egan,
was playing q gamble in frenzied fin
ance never equalled in daring by any
banker in the state. It would seem
from the evidence brought out IN

from $4,000 to $t5e,000 depending
upon the amount Of worthless paper

banks Of North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Montana and Utah.
It is believed that in buying the
bank at Jud a place was provided for
the disposing Of $4,000 worth Of bad
paper, mainly on residents of the
Golden Valley where MI. Egan for
merly lived. The bank was bought
by Egan and his wife and Erwin H.
Mann, formerly Of New Salem, on
April 10, and on April IL it is said
Egan wrote Mann, then installed as
cashier of the bank; asking him to ac-
cept notes to the extent of $19,40O,
