Apply Protecting Attitude
Toward Life

Social viewpoints woman N
represent much more consistena,v
than man, because by her natxm
and her previous development -
is more distant from the fundam(n.
tai thought Of the capitalist ORR,
than man. She cannot possib,v
wish q free-for-all fight. The pov.
chology Of woman is such that I
leads her to stand before life pr..
tecSngly. Woman places love of
mankind above material things: II
puts soul above matter. Her eul.
tural aims are to maintain and 70
preserve life and to work againx
the squandering and destruction m
it. All these things will contribute
TO one end: That women will sun.
port every political measure which
will elevate the communal life and
will lead it into more just and mora
perfect forms.
Everything seems to indicate
that women, because Of their very
nature, will contribute positive
creative forces to our newly con.
structed state. There is every
promise that women will win such Z
place in political parties as will lead
our political life to higher forms
and will endow il with a new
significance.

gravity Of our national life will
shift from arts and sciences, yes,
even from economic and technical
matters, to the world Of political
thought and action. The times are
past when the citizen, secure in
the protection of an established
state. could 60 along peacefully
and serenely, knowing that his
rights are safeguarded. A new
order Of society must come.
To what extent woman and her
special abilities and power will be
fitted to take part in the building Of
the new state Of society only the
future will definitely tell. With all
modesty and reserve which BELTS
those who find themselves in the
presence of a new situation, with
all respect for the work and achieve
ments of man which have gone be-
fore us, we still must seek to chart
our own course.

PREDICTIONS have been made
from authoritative sources at
- Washington that the shortage
i'm school teachers this October for
the country at large will be greater
than ever. Last October the Federal
Bureau of Education issued state
ment that $4,000 teachers were need
ed if half million school children
of the United States were TO re-
ceive educational opportunities. This
shortage existed because of the re-
moval of 10000 men and women
instructors from the classrooms of
the country by the war. These men
and women have not returned to
their profession in sufficiently, large
Numbers to insure enough teachers
this October.
Miss Alice Deal, president Of the
Washington High School Teachers
Union, mas become interested IN lne
restoration of the National School
Board Service OF the Federal Bureau
of Education as one means for less
cning the shortage. This service was
organized last year under the au-
thorizatioN of President Wilson.
He applied $4,000 Of his emergency
funds TO the mission of getting teach
ers for the vacancies, and on July l
this appropriation ceased.
With the closing up of this emer-
gency bureau the files and registra-
tion of approximately $4,000 avail
able teachers in the rural districts
were withdrawn from the use Of the
school boards Of the country.

"And so the law Of supply and dc.
nand runs through everything" she
continued. Take the matter Of
high prices for shoes. We have been
steadily sending shoes to Europe.
Naturally our own supply Of shoes
is low. This country never does
have a surplus Of shoes, for only a
certain amount can be produced in
the shoe factories each year. If we
have to divide our shoe stock with
Europe, naturally the American
public will have to pay more for its
shoes.

Figures show that the United
States has $4,000 public school

change their jobs yearly. This gives
a labor turnover of practically 90 per

New-York tribune., 1919-09-07
Blames Low
Salaries

Miss Deal places the blame for the
shortage on low salaries and the lack
of a national clearing house for
teachers. Those in greatest demand
during the past ten months we're ex-
perts in manual and physical train
ing and instructors in science, state
universities, private institutions of
national note and the village school
competing alike for the men and
women registered by the School
Board Service.
Five per cent Of the $4,000 regis
trants sending in their photographs
and personal history sheets to the
Federal Service were rural and
graded school teachers. Seventy
five per cent were recent graduates
from colleges and normal schools.
Twenty per cent were special teach
ers in such branches as physical
training. music and expression.
Miss Deal plans to have the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor foster the
restoration of the service. Schools
in West Virginia and other states
which have been closed for the past
two wears will again be closed this
winter owing to a shortage of
teachers

In other words, the women or
America are being called upon to
LIT the yoke of high prices from
the shoulders of women for all time.
CommoA sense coupled with the
vote will bring the new era.
1t has taken centuries for women
to realize that the solution of the
worlds food supply problems rests
with them. They must settle the
matter themselves, they must follow
the law Of supply and demand.
Just because Martha Washington
had to pay $40 a barrel for -four is
no reason why the present house
keeper should submit to such prices,
says the committee.
The Women's National Economic
Committee is now four weeks Old.
Already its doctrines and methods
are making themselves felt. The

with it. Mrs. Charles D. Hirst,

A New Contribution
From Women

But the substantial contribution
of the woman citizen to the politi-
cal life of the country ought to lie
in a different field. 1t should con-
sist of this: That the women grow
into the political life with their
inner consciousness and give ex-
preston to new phases of develop
ment in the political structure OF
the country.
For decades to come the best

More than 100 mine workers were rid
ing to their work crowded into what is
by a motor. The rear car carried II kegs
of black powder used for blasting lose
the coal in the chambers. When the
train had gone about 200 feet from the
entrance, the trolley wire snapped, and
the sparks it emitted touched off the
powder.
There was roar, and in an instant
every man and boy on the train was
either dead or dying. Mangled bodies
were found everywhere by the rescue
crews which rushed into the mine. Fire
fighters, working frantieally, soon sue
ceeded in subduing the flames which fol-

ed the blankets from the bodies women
tainted, men lost their nerve and children
ran away in fright. The bodies of scores
were removed to the morgues, where the
work of identification is being carried
/ on with little success.
The death list was made large by the
flames and the sulphur fumes which
filled the tunnel. The fire did not last
long, but it was long enough to make a
heavy death toll. Many of the men were
killed outright, parts of bodies being
found in the wreckage of life and prop
erty.
Rescuers got into the mine with hose
and played streams of water on the
flames. While they were doing this the
cries of the dying and the injured were
heard above the roar of the flames.
Carelessness and violation of mine
laws of the state caused the great loss
of life. One Of the most drastic provi-
sions of the anthracite code is the sec
tion forbidding the transportation OF
men on ear or train which carries ex-
plosives. Yet the train Of little cars
conveying its freight of miners had at
dached to its rear car of a dozen kegs
of powder. Investigation will be made
to disclose whether the men or the com
pany is responsible for this violation OF
