ern states abounding in oil rock are
Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, and Cali
fornia. The state geologist of Colora-
do speaks of content" of 36,000,-
10000 barrels for that state. In an
article in The National Geographic
Journal for February 1918, Mr.. Nit
chell made the following statement:
The production of oil in this country
instead of decreasing, will continue
to grow; it will even, because of the
shale resources, greatly increase it's
present output of 340,O0O,0O0 barrels
a year, and will keep pace with the
enormous increasing demand.
This sanguine statistician promises
"a supply of gasoline for many genera
tions to come" On the other hand,
Mr.. Doheny declares that the supply
to run the 100000 internal COM
bustion engines of 1929 will not be
found in the United States. But Mexi-
co will supply the deficiency, according
to this authority, who says that the
present full capacity Of wells already
drilled in Mexico is 100000 barrels
day, which, is more than the pres
ent producing capacity Of the United
States" 1t is comforting TO know that
so per cent of the crude oil land in the
Tampico district belongs to Americans.
Obviously, the United States cannot al
low Mexico to confiscate, by taxation or
otherwise oil interests to which Amer
lean citizens can show legal title: 1t
is equally clear that Great Britain,
which has little oil territory in the COL
onies, will stand by its concession hold
ers in Mesopotamia and Persia, and
that Germany will not refrain from US
ing it's power, or from intriguing, to
control Russian oil fields. The United
States possesses petroleum resources
that should supply its needs for term
of years, discarding the possibilities
of shale oil production, but even the
United States cannot afford to neglect
any rights its citizens have acquired
in Mexico. Petroleum and its numer-
Gus products arc too valuable to be
overlooked wherever the crude oil may
be found AMI claimed. Self-preserva-

turning slowly.
To-day we received IS requests for

It is a difficult matter to please them.
Last September our survey showed q
shortage of 1000 teachers. New and
a almost unframed teachers number
ing 10000 had been drawn into the
school system. but many of them have
left. others are most unsatisfactory.
The shortage is mostly in country
schools and small high schools In
many high schools special subjects
like chemistry arc not being taught
because teachers, familiar with this
kind of work, cannot be obtained"
Although no recent survey of teach
ing vacancies has been made by the
bureau, DR.. Hanna believes the arm
