SCARCITY OF TEACHERS
Problem Faces Educational Board oil
Marion County.

Problem Faces Educational Board OF
Marion County.
Jasper, July 26.-(Special.) marion
county has 100 schools. Approximately
20 per cent. of the teachers of these
schools hold certificates. This deficit,
for several years. has been made UP of
those who were unsuccessful in the ex-
aminations. There has been no other
alternative for the county superintend-
ent 10 pursue, for the valid reason
that the school terms being short, it
was not possible to secure help from
other sources
The state superintendent while OBJ
serving this condition, and deploring
1t, has failed to speak his official SEN
timents until lately. when he notified
the county officials, who rule the edu-
cational business in Marion, not to
open the schools this fall unless compe-
tent teachers could be secured.
The second examination was given
recently, but the results of the efforts
OF the sixty who took it have not yet
been disclosed.
It seems that one thing hereafter is
sure; those who teach in Marion this
season will have to prove competency,
and favor and politics will take back
seat.
Any other ruling than this would
have been unjust to the tax payers
and hindrance to the educational
progress OF all students.

drive horses nor work them half fed.
The amount Of service given to man
by the lower orders of creation is
amazing. In these days of auto
mobiles many millions of toilsome
horses still pull their heavy burdens
for our comfort.
A kind hearted old timer once re-
marked that he allowed his. horse to
walk three rods to recover his breath
after pulling his light driving buggy
up hill The present speedy gen.
eraticn would never stand for that.
If these faithful workers are over
loaded, overdriven, i'll fed, or other
wise maltreated, they have no means
of protest. 1t makes kind hearted
man Indignant to see how some men
treat their animals. But unfortun-
ately most people who notice it, take
it out in Tuning, and do not notify the
officers of the law as they should.
1t is not merely inhumane to treat
working animals in that way, but il
is poor business. Any kind of do
nestle animal will do more work or
give a better product when well fed
and comfortably taken care of.
1t is an excellent training for a boy
to have charge of pen of rabbits, a
dog or other pets and be made re-
sponsible for their care and comfort.
The boy who has learned humanity
toward animals will be more thought
full of the needs of human beings and
better fitted to have control over
them.

Once more, once more, America!
This is our glory day!
And if from now the price is gold,
Well smile, and pay and payl
There's not a bargain on the books
Well, stop to question when
Our homes can pay for Victory
With coin instead of men.
Great plants that never turned q shaft
Great wings that never flew,
Are better deals to settle now
Than France and England knew.
The guns we never fired we'll charge
To profit, not to less,
And count them all less dearly bought
Than one small wooden cross.
Thank God for this Americal
For ship and shell and truck;
Thank God, you million Mothers, fer
The blow we never struck!
Weep for our little mounds in France
But laugh with the Spring again
We'd rather pay for Victory
With money than with men.

SURPLUS LABOR

Labor conditions for the past two
years have been very unusual. Pre-
viously there has commonly been a
supply of surplus labor, except per-
haps on the farms. Big factories US
ually had plenty of applicants arounc
their employment offices. 1t gave
an employer of factory labor a COM
Portable feeling to know that there
was surplus of unemployed labor on
which he could draw at any time.
A recent writer in the Atlantic
Monthly asserts that up to two years
ago, the average amount of unem-
ployed labor in this country was L.
100000. If that is fair statement,
it shows a dangerous condition. Of
course many Of the so-called "unem-
ployed" were men who wouldn't keep
steady job if it was offered them.
Still the number Of Situations want
ed" advs. in the newspapers formerly
used greatly to exceed the advs. Of
'help wanted" This has always
suggested that formerly there was a
surplus of labor.
A principal reason for lack Of such
surplus now, is the cutting off of i'm
migration since the war began. But
with widespread bolshevism in Europe
this country will look its immigrants
over closely. 1t doesn't pay to take
in anyone who does not give evidence
that he will become a good working
citizen and help support the state. OF
that kind, this country needs all it
can>get.
Where a surplus of labor exists. il
is a sign of maladjustment in the in
dustries. The employer ought not
to expect to find reserve of idle
work seekers who can be drawn upon
at anv time. There is really work
enough for everyone. if the job can
only find the man. 1t needs highly
organized system to bring the man
end the lob together. Without that
there viii always be a dangerous
/ fringe of idleness.
The Belding banner-news. (Belding, Mich.) 1918-1973, 1919-04-30

with the peace treaty, they will de-
cline TO sign it. Then they will
maintain an attitude Of passive re-
sistance that will keep Europe in a
state of turmoil They threaten to
open the doors wide to bofshevism and
thus attempt to bring down the en-
tire fabric of civilization all over
the world. Which scares many tim
id people.
The Germans long age, proved
themselves great buffers. Where
would they be left if they carry out
their threats? They would be with
out the raw materials they so greatly
need for a restoration of their indus
tries. Cotton, rubber, copper would be
very scarce, or nonresident.
When they hand back stolen AL
SAGE and Lorraine and the Saar val
ley, they will lack available supplies
of iron and steel. Potash is likely
to be short for their crops. They
will be cut off from the ocean and can
eet nothing from chaotic Russia
They will think many times before
deliberately going hungry and cen
demning themselves to idleness and
anarchy.
AS for Germany going bolshevist
it is net likely. A nation brough;
up for centuries on an ordered life
will not in a moment throw away all
discipline. They have something to
gain by permitting a stage show of
bolshevism. 1t scares the allies
Even if thew did go bolshevist, il
would kill their power of economic
production and keen them floundering
in misery while the allies recover
economic balance. After making ur
verv bad faces and saying very bad
words. Germany will sign whatever is
offered.
Nc one need think that even then
Germany will be suffering too much
No indemnity that can possibly be
demanded will pay quarter of what
the allies spent to maintain their
civilization against the pirates.

SPRING IMPROVEMENTS.

IL does net take long to clean up a
town, and il does not take long to get
il in disorder again. One of the
worst features of the modern COM
munity center, is the habit of litter
ing up the streets with waste paper.
The people are buying large guam
titles of candy. fruit, chewing gum
and various little eatables. Most
Of these things are sold in bags and
little paper containers. A large part
of this stuff is eaten on the street.
And three quarters of the people i'm
mediatelv throw the wrapper away.
People throw away torn newspaper
fragments. handbills are scattered and
waste comes from many other sourc-
es. A town cleaned up one day may
be oil in disorder again by the next
night.
The larger cities and towns keep
street cleaners who spend their time
picking up the needless litter which
people leave. 1t seems folly that the
people should spend their hard earn
ed monev hiring workers to pick up
the needless waste that htey leave
about the street.
