WORRY OVER SUPPLY FOR
SCHOOLS COMING YEARS.
CRITICAL SITUATION NOT
CONFINED TO, IOWA ALONE

Available Material and That First to

Special TO Times Republican.
Cedar Falls, April 2l.--Who is going
to teach the children of five years from
now?
That is the question that is causing
CONSERVATION among the educators OF
Iowa and is not being answered by the
superintendents and principals Oh
schools who are swarming here by the
dozens to procure teachers from Iowa
State Teachers College students Tor
their stan next year. They are
swapping UP all available teachers as
fast as they can, are making search
among the alumni of the school FOR
available teachers, and even then are
unable to supply all their wants.
While the teacher situation in Iowa
Is the most critical II has been IN
years, this state is not alone in facing
shortage Of teachers. Yesterday :
mail brought calls for teachers from
Teachers College from Wyoming, New
York, Massachusetts. Kansas, Neo-
raska and even from Canada. Mean
time school superintendent of Iowa
continue to call in person nearly every
day. and those who are not empowered
to sign ~up contracts on the spot
usually lose out-the next days visitor
grabs up the available pedagogs.
The college Is cooperating in every
way in the search Tor teachers, anu
even has gone so far as to llst All
available teachers in the state, anu
wherever else it can find one. mann
tanning what amounts to a free EN-
ployment bureau for teachers. Its serF-
ices are given freeto all teachers seek
ing locations.
Last wear the college round employ
ment for teachers who draw salaries
aggregating almost two million dollars
and this year the figures will exceed
that.
College Attendance Less.
But still there Is most serious
shortage, owing to the war. Atten-
dance at teachers college. as at all
other schools, has decreased, and the
graduates this year will fall something
below the 400 mark. And while the
stream of young people into the ranks
OF teachers is decreasing. the outgo is
growing larger all the time. Teachers
have gone to the army. have tuin0A
to farming, have taken positions IN
business paying more than their teach
ing jobs.
And thus arises the question Of who
is going to teach the Riddles of hve
years hence. 49,
one CLEAN of hope lies in the fact
that young men who take training in
the reserve officers training corps are
going to put themselves in position to
draw larger salaries in high schools

this city, has planted poppy bed In
memory of Denzyl Wagner and ex-
plains that in memory OF the brave
fnen who sleep "in Flanders fields
where the peoples blow. between the
crosses row on row." and as memoir
ial to our own dear boys who, at

action on the firing line, have given
their lives to safeguard ours, we are
planting our poppy bed. IF We break
faith with us who die, we shall not

The thought Of our poppy bed first
came to us in March, but there Is yet
time, and we are wondering if in many
a home there are not those who would
love to plant poppy bed in memory
of their soldier boy and name the bed
for him. We have named ours in honor
OF Denzyi Wagner, whom all Alden

COMMERCIAL CLUB REVIVED.

Nezperce now has living, moving
go-get- 'em commercial club. The new
organization was effected at lunch
con at the Nezperce Hotel last Mon.
day at which some 80 of the live wires
of the community were present. DR..
John F. Gist was chosen president and
DR. f. S. Peterson secretary of the
club by the unanimous vote of the
meeting Several leading citizens made
brief addresses on the public needs of
the community, and the manner in
which these talks were received and
the unanimity of the good feeling per-
vading tho meeting indicated that
these several needs would be taken
care of without undue delay.
Naturally, the road question was one
of the leading topics considered, and
for handling this phase of the club 3
work a committee Of three was ap-
pointed. They are, G. G. Pennell, J. P.
Sorenson and c. w. Palmer. This COM
mittee was instructed to acquire all
udid pOSSlDlc OH IHe ROAD SITUATION IN
the community and report at next Mon
days meeting.
A committee was also appointed to
work with the County Farm Bureau in
bringing about the success of the
county fair that organization will hold
in Nezperce next fall. The members of
this committee are, M. ID. DeMoude,
C. F. Thomas and d. W. Sunderlin.
Adjournment was taken promptly at
one 'clock, and the time of the next
meeting was set for 1910 p. m. Tues
day, May 6, at the Nezperce Hotel
dining room; but later developments
have made it desirable that Nezperce
turn out on that date and join force
from the Greencrcek Highway district |
IN doing needed work on the Steven
son crossing grade; so the next Com
mercial Club meeting has been called |
sor high noon Monday, May S; when
for road work on the fol |
owing day will be made, and such
)ther business taken care of as may |
ome up. Lunch will be spread for at
east so at the hotel next Monday.

DRIVE HARD ON VICTORY LOAN.

Just little over week remains for
Lewis county to meet its quota of the
Victory Loan. This quota is $4,000
To date, the banks and other sources
show total subscription for the coun-.
ty of $4,000, meaning that there are
yet $4,000 to be raised by May 10;
for Lewis county has faithfully met
every war obligation since the first
Liberty Loan, and there is no other
thought than that she will meet this
one.
Chairman Anderson reports that all
solicitors indicate satisfactory purchas-
es from those they have found time to
solicit, but some have been short on
time for covering their districts. Sub
scribers are urged, therefore, not to
await the solicitation of the drive
workers, but to apply as soon as pos
sible to their local bank for their quota.
This is job in which all must help if
Lewis county is to maintain her fair
record, and no loyal citizen wants to
see her fail. Let's put her over.
