DULUTH HAS FINE PLAN
Competitive Sales Campaign for
War Savings Stamps.
Prizes Are Offered and Services Of
School ChiIden Enlisted in
Thrift Work.

Interest is being aroused throughout
the Ninth Federal Reserve district by
the plan of War Savings Stamp sales
campaign that is being followed in
Duluth. Originated in that city by
James H. Harper, chairman for south
ern st. Louis county, 1t has been
named the Duluth plan" and is ex.
pected, as It develops, to bring new
fame to that city and its thrift
workers.
The Duluth plan is competitive
sales campaign. Live business men
of Duluth have contributed money for
a newspaper advertising campaign and
an additional $1,025 to be distributed
in prizes to those who do the best
work as stamp and savings certificate
statesmen.
Duluth has been divided along the
lines of its so voting precincts and a
woman chairman, in most cases one
who headed precinct work for the wo-
mans committee, Council of National
Defense, has been chosen for each of
these districts. Each chairman has
voters in her precinct.
The general campaign will run from
August Is until December TO- When
school reopens an auxiliary campaign
will be conducted in public and paro-
chial schools of eighth grade standard
and under. Prizes for the schools will
be victrolas and musical intruments,

While native born Americans are
80 careless with their money that the
government has found 1t necessary to
institute a thrift campaign to induce
them to save, foreigners in this coun-
try realize the value of the good old
U. s. A. dollar to such an extent that
they are going back to the old coun-
try" and taking with them as many
dollar as the customs regulations per-
NIT.
Everywhere in the world people
are bidding high for American money
and credit, while we, right at home,
are throwing our money around and
thinking as little OF it as if it were
not the soundest money in the world,
with greater buying power than the
money of any other country" M. E..
Harrison, ninth district War Savings
director, said: 1t is high time
we realized what good money our
American money Is. Then more OF
US would attend at once to saving it.
More of us would save this excellent
money for the future by investing IL

members Cf the faculties, in increas-
ing faculties, in providing new build
tngs and equipment and in establish
ing endowments which will assure the
individual institutions of incomes
large enough to meet their respective
growing needs.
The Wisconsin college plan is at
tracting such nationwide attention be-
cause It is unique. Wisconsin pro-
poses to attempt what has never been
attempted before. And the leaders in
the movement predict with absolute
confidence that Wisconsin will accom-
pIish what has never before been &C
complished.
Eight Colleges Unite.
Eight institutions, Beloit College,
Champion College, Carroll College, Law
renee College, Marquette University,
Milton College, Northland College and
Ripon College, have become associa-
ted to make this statewide appeal.
UNCONVENTIONAL and non denomina-
tional, Protestant and Catholic col
ieges join hands in common cause.
Their problems are similar. They in
tend to acquaint the people of Wis
consin with those problems.
Ever since the problem of the high
cost of living began to be a serious
one the difficulties Of the colleges, es-
peoially the smaller ones, have in
creased enormously. While the labor
er by organized effort succeeded in
getting his wages increased, the col
lege professor has been obliged to
struggle along on the same salary.
Presidents and administrative officers,
trustees and regents, have fully appre-
ciated the difficulty but have had ne
funds with which to increase salaries.
Purely economic causes have result
ed in many college teachers leaving
the college campus and in going into
business. Most of them preferred to
teach but they also had to live. AS a

COLLEGES FACE UNUSUAL
DIFFICULTIES THIS YEAR
Large EnroIlments Anticipated and
No Money Available to
Meet New Needs.

Never have the colleges and uni
versities of Wisconsin been face to
face with a problem identical to what
has arisen this year. With the war
over and rehabilitation of the mill
tary services about complete, the col
leges are preparing for unusually large
increases in enrolment. But never
have the colleges been less equipped
to take care Of additional students.
Larger faculties are needed But the
presidents of the Wisconsin colleges
are vitality concerned with the prob
lem of holding the men and the women
they already have. inadequate sala-
ries are forcing many teachers to
abandon education and to go into
business.
New buildings are needed. New and
up-to-date equipment should be pur-
purchased. Old buildings and old
equipment should be repaired. All
of which takes money. And the col
leges haven't it.
To help solve these serious prob
lens of the smaller colleges of the
state is one of the purposes of the
Wisconsin Colleges Associated which
has just opened headquarters at the
Hotel Phster in Milwaukee and is
about to start statewide educational
campaign concerning the needs of
these colleges.
The members of the association are
Beloit, Campion, Carroll, Lawrence.
Marquette, Milton, Northland and
Ripon. During the latter part of Octo-
Der 1t is planned to raise 100000
which will be distributed on a basis
OF student hours.

COLLEGES WORRIED OVER
LOW WAGE FOR TEACHERS
Educational Institutions Unable to
Hold Professors Because of
Too Small Pay.

With the Wisconsin Colleges Asso-
ciated actively engaged in making
plans for statewide campaign for
funds for the smaller colleges of the
state, the following comment from the
New York World is interesting!
HAS the war given new status to
college professors? Popular opinion
of their practical abilities had hereto
fore contained an element Of scepti-
Ciszn, which is now pretty generally
oispelled by the exhibition of com
petence in many fields of service out
side of their olass-rooms. In the
words of former President Strayer of
the National Education Association,
the war has actually created mar
ket for college professors. Go over
the lists of professors and administra-
tive officers and you will find some of
the biggest names In the story Of the
achievements of the war.
1.-THE effect is inevitably to inspire a
competition which the colleges must
meet through larger salaries if they
are to retain the services of teachers
of the first rank. Men of superior en-
dowments whose ambition was limited
10 university honors have matched
minds with men In other pursuits in
the common service of their country,
and the result has been to prove their
powers under conditions which natur-
ally dispose them to keep on In the
larger field. One department at Co
Iumbia University has lost a dozen
good men to positions with business or
semi-public concerns.
Love of their work will always tend
to turn the scale toward the college
In men who possess the teaching
spirit But colleges must pay profes-
sors adequate salaries II they are to
keep their faculties filed with COM
petent men who know that there is a
more remunerative market for their
kaient IN the business worlds

Thrift and Oatmeal are the nour-
Ishments, physical and spiritual, on
which, by his own confession, Roy A.
Young, newly appointed governor OF
the Minneapolis Federal Reserve bank,
was reared. Mr.. Young will assume
the governorship October I, when
Governor Theodore Void becomes a
vice president Of the Northwestern
National bank. Despite the rugged re-
gime of his youth, the oatmeal and
thrift supplied by his Scotch father,
Mr.. Young told war savings workers
recently that it required the first Lib
erty Loan to crystalline the early
thrift teaching into an active principle
of his mature years. "The seeds Of
thrift had been soWn years ago." said
he, land the national necessity for
saving that came with the war started
that germ to functlonIng."
This, he said, is the theory on which
war savings work must be carried on.
Thrift teaching must be implanted
and Investing In government securi-
ties must give effect to the lessons.
MIR. Young came to the Minneapolis
Federal Reserve bank as assistant to
the governor nearly two years ago,
after long experience In northern
Michigan banks. About year ago he
was made deputy governor His ele-
walton to the governorship followed
the resignation Of Governor Void.
MIR. Young will be the second cover
nor Of the bank. Governor Void has
been head Of the institution since IL
was established.

this liquid is applied to the hands be-
fore beginning work, good washing
with soap and water afterward re-
moves all traces of the labor.

students are returning. Already over

problems. It's president must not be
overwhelmed with budgets. He should
be able to be an educator, not pure

"PRAYING GENERALS"

The pronounced religious tone of
the leading officers on the allied side
is 4 duality that matches itself with
the justice Of their cause. Our readers
have already seen how dcvout man
is Marshal Foch. That the head of
the American forces as we'll as gen.
erals of the British are praying men
is one of the personal factors noted
by the Congrega tionalist of Boston,
which sketches the scene on Thanks
giving day at Chaumont, the Amer
lean headquarters in Eastern France,
where a formal service was held I'M
der the auspices of the leaders of our
American army with many dignita-
ries present representing the Allied
nations:
"Thc commander of the American
forces made an address in which all
Boosting was conspicuously absent,
and the serious and religious note was
dominant. Here are some of his strik-
ing words with regard to recognition
of the divine help without which ev-
Ell the superb valor of our troops
might not have been crowed with sue
cess.
Victory was our goal. 1t is II hard
