Problems the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

amply qualified to teach md they
can make more money standing in
a department store and mo school
papers to correct after hours,
either"
Last October, in the face Of a
$4,000 shortage in teachers, Pres
ident Wilson found it necessary to
issue a special appeal to ministers,
married women and all manner Of
qualified persons to fill the then
existing vacancies, as otherwise
half a million children would go
untaught. The President set aside
$25, 900 Of the war emergency fund
placed at his disposal for getting
the teacherless schools in touch
with public-spirited persons will
ing to keep them open. Despite
the grant and the Presidents sp-
peal, schools in several States have
had to close their doors.
Reason for Carnegie's Libraries.
This might not be a bad place to
recall Andrew Carnegie's reason
for giving libraries, as a means Of
sharing his immense fortune with
the people. 1t was Carlisle's COM
ment on the number Of jails he en-
countered on a journey to Edin-
burgh-jails, jails, but never Ii
brary.
Boys and girls who go to high
school and form the library habit
have a way Of keeping clear Of
jails. They have a few decent re-
sources within themselves to fall
back on. Life to them is not one
continuous search for new sensa-
tions.
1t is too bad that as a nation we
have always maintained a cheese
pairing policy as far as education is
concerned. We have never, in con-
graduating ourselves on our great
ness, seemed to realize the import
ance Of education. We were
shocked, naturally, when We read
those illiteracy statistics Of the
first draft, but we are doing abso-
lutely nothing about it.
We are at the present time ac-
tually 100000 teachers short! Do
a little bit Of calculating and see
for yourselves how many children
that will leave untaught-or half
taught-for the ensuing year.
II the standard Of teachers pay
could be raised so as to make it
commensurate in any way with the
high cost Of living, very likely
many OF our teachers would leave
their commercial positions and
again come back to their classes.
In the meantime, since school con-
Germs the mothers Of children very
closely, L might not be q bad idea
to try to stir up little interest
in this question, even in Voteless
Washington.
The Washington times., 1919-09-06

7 DON'T wonder we are all so
deeply concerned about the
theatrical strike, seeing that
the darkened playhouses rob us Of
more than a favored amusement.
It actually menaces "the gsyety Of
nations" as DR.. Samuel Johnson
once said.
But the actors strike, dismRlly
as it affects us, is a trif1ing affail
compared with that spontaneous
and unprecedented action on the
part of our underpaid school teach
ers. They have not struck nor
protested at the injustice Of their
starvation wages; they have mere
ly found themselves better-paying
jobs-30O,000 of them.
And the result is that a number
of our public schools throughout
the country will be unable to open
their doors this autumn. 1t would
seem to rational people that the
shocking revelations regarding IL
Iiteracy in this country, brought
about by the draft, would have
speeded up legislation as far as
educational appropriation is con-
cerned
But it seems Congress has de-
cided to again favor the taxpayers
with that ever-popular encore,
Let me dream again" The school
board service, established during
the war to find teachers for va
cancies, has been closed down for
want Of funds, because Congress
failed to make the necessary ap-
preparation to keep it alive.
AnHdote for Spread-eaglelsm.
It might not be a bad idea, when
we are in a particularly spread
eagle mood, to soberly remind our
selves that 249 per cent Of our
soldiers examined for the first
draft we're illiterste. U quote fg-
ures given out by the surgeon gen.
eral Of the army Out Of 1,552,256
men examined, 3S6,1s6, or 249 per
cent, were unable to read a para
graph in an English newspaper or
write a letter home.
We might repeat these figures,
as an act Of humility, every time
we feel inclined to puff out our
chests and thank Heaven we are
the greatest, richest, biggest-and
some say noisiest-country on
earth.
At the time these figures we're
tabulated we were in a much bet
ter position, as far as teachers are
concerned, than We are in today.
Since then 10000 men and women
have been taken from the teaching
profession by the war. Many have
found better-paying jobs which Of
fer easier work and greater oppor-
tunities, and they have no inten-
ton Of returning to their ilEpaid
former calling.
Can you blame them when yOu

down the threatened menace Of IL
literacy-and please remember it
was nearly one-fourth Of the first
draft-we have got to pay for
them. Congress might as we'll
make up its mind first as last that
the bargain-counter school teacher
has gone the way OF the so cook
and the 1O-cent Watermelon-they
have passed on into that limbo, the
good old times.
Schools have actually been
closed in some parts Of West Vir-
ginis for two years, owing to a
dearth Of teachers. And Virginia,
"the Mother Of Presidents" but
likely to swop that proud title for
the "Mother Of Illiterates," is not
much better of. Ungraded rural
schools, within a dozen miles Of
Washington, clamor for teachers
at $40 a month, but young women
The Washington times., 1919-09-06

consider that, apart from the min
istry, teaching is the most ill-paid
Of the professions, that public
school teachers last year were ac-
tually drawing smaller salaries
than elevator girls, soda-water dis
pensers, and bus girls in restau-
rants.
To appeal to them on patriotic
grounds would only be adding in
suit to injury. Why should the
underpaid, oVerworked school
teacher have a monopoly Of altru-
ism in this high-cOst-Of-living era?
We don't find it higher up-just
see what a hard time poor Mr.. Ar
mour is having, wearing half-soled
boots and even asking for an over
coat.

I have Just returned from an autsa
mobile trip n the Middle Wess, an
there are several things IN connesg
ton with it which might be intaFs
esting. First, the old story Of Votes
less Washington. Can you beIisVd
that in talking with some Of the mbst
learned and influential men In ths
small towns Of Indiana that they
were ignorant Of the fact that WASH
ingtOn cannot vote. It Is true. Tisy
never believed different.
All through Ohio and Indiana Z
also met people who were ignorsnl
Of the fact that District motorists
are required to carry two licsnsa
tags on their machines. They were
surprised and might say disguised
when they were told Of the fact.
Another interesting thing I sad
On my trip was the beautiful gaSolind

ere a sight the city can be proud al
with the attractive buildings ~

Why can't this city have an ordinance

I herewith nominate DR. I. B

clerk. In presenting the claims Of
my friend and former co-Worker ]
would call attention to the two kinds
Of beauty which naturally spring up
In q question Of this character. One
kind is the beauty Of form and fea-
ture, and requires no special men
ton, as it speaks for itself The
other kind Is the beauty Of disposi-
ton, which while superior to the
other, generally escapes attention
because Of its inborn modesty. Al
though my friend Is richly endowed
with both forms, yet insist that due
recognition be given to the beauty Of
disposition.
I wish to announce to my numer-
GUS friends that 1 will not be q can
didate in this contest, but shall re-
main q loyal supporter Of DR.. Fisher.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, April 12.-Urgent Euro
pean need of foodstuffs gave increas-
ed strength today to the grain and
provision markets here. Corn closed
firm, nc to "a C net higher; oats up
y C to q c and provisions at an ad-
vance of 32c to zoe.
Bullish sentiment as to corn re-
ceived impetus mainly from state
ments by food administration Off
Gals.
Strength of hog prices, together
with decrease of country offerings
of corn, tended further throughout
the day to handicap the bears in the
corn market.
Oats displayed Independent strength
owing to predictions of further wei
weather delay to seeding.
Enlarged export demand hoisted
provisions. Lard, which was especial
ly wanted. jumped to $50 a tierce for

conspicuous in the buying.
