SCHOOL CONDITIONS IN PUTNAM
COUNTY

r am writing this article that the
people may know the actual condit-
ions confronting those whose busi-
ness it is to employ teachers and
manage the schools of the county.
If you will read this carefully you
may understand why some things
are not done that you may think
should be done.
Some of the schools may not start
on time, and some may not start at
all, at least until next winter or
spring. Why? Because teachers can
not be secured.
Are there not enough persons de-
string to teach to fill the schools
Yes, but the law enacted by the
last legislature puts a minimum
grade that each applicant must make
in order to teach, and puts a penalty
on any one who employs teacher
who does not hold a certificate. It
is not possible to employ persons to
teach who do not hold certificates.
Was there ever time when there
were more licensed teachers than
schools?
Yes, four years ago we had $50
applicants for about IS positions.
Now we have 60 applicants for
about so positions.
What has become of the former
teachers? They have either quit the
profession entirely, or they have
gone to places where there was
money to pay better salaries. and
those who have gone to other plac-
es for better salaries we're among
the good teachers. Places that have
money to pay living wages demand
and get the best I have in my or
fee list of about twentp persons
who formerly taught in this county,
who were successful teachers, who
have gone because Of better wages.
Are they still leaving the profess
sion? They are leaving every day,
not in turbulent mobs as strikers do,
but quietly and patiently they have
waited and asked for living wage,
and not receiving it, they have been
forced by the necessities of life to
seek living.
Why not pay them larger salary
and shorten the term Of school? The
funds in the county will run the
schools about five months and pay
an average salary Of $50. month.
This is salary of $3.50 a year to
each teacher. Can any one now live
respectfully on $3.50 year? What
they must have is a yearly salary.
not monthly salary.
II we continue very few years to
float as we are now doing, we will
be where there are no teachers and
no schools. Can we build a civiliza-
tion under such conditions? VIII it
be profitable from business stand
point? Let the masses answer.

CONCERNING VISIONS

Il am afraid some persons do no!
understand tnat vision. They do not
see 1.-THE President.
A good many persons In this land
believe that the time has come to
talk of verities, not visions. They
confidently expect the president to
come out of the clouds and get down
to earth. where the rest of us are
compelled to dig and delve to meet
the taxes levied by a benevolent
government.
The American people are called
upon to give their approval to a
scheme Of world government. that
looks like surrender Of something
which they have ever held precious
Americanism. 1t may be that
membership in the League of Ma
tions would mean such a surrender.
1t is clearly up to the president to
show that it would not. One thing
certain also is that the American
people are not particularly interest
ed at this time in anybody's dreams.
The vision our forefathers saw
was more perfect union" of the
people; of a nation which might ex-
pand and grow strong. A govern
ment was formed, clothed with pow
er to legislate, execute and decree,
not for the world, but for the United
States If the vision of our fore
fathers had been the world vision
some persons now imagine they see
there would have been no American
revolution If inlernationalism is
the proper perspective, IT foreign in
terference in our affairs is desirable,
the declaration of independence be-
comes dead letter.
The vision that makes strongest
appeal to Americans is that which
washington, Lincoln and Gorfield
saw-a nation brought forth on this
continent dedicated to freedom, lib
erty and justice for Americans and
becoming q beacon light showing the
way to patriots Of other lands to do
for themselves Ne wYork Herald.

Gus matter in ones system.
If you have pale face, sallow look, dull

inactive bowels, you take one of DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets nightly for time
and note the pleasing results.

Cause of Headache

By knowing the cause, disease
may often be. avoided. This is par
ticularly true of headache. The
most common cause of headache is a
disordered stomach or constipation,
which may be corrected by taking a
few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets.
Try it. Many others have obtained
permanent relief by taking these
Tablets. They are easy to take and
mild and gentle in effect.

The Ansell Charges Again

Senator Chamberlain's demand on the
War Department for the publication Of
Lieutenant Colonel Ansell's rep]v to
General Crowders recent CHARGES suo-
gests the existence of a sharp prejudice
inside the department against Colonel
Ansell. The latter took a big persona,
risk in calling the attention Of the Sem
ate Committee on Military Affairs to
defects in the administration of r;l;+aru
justice. Has he been harshly disciplined
for that? Has there been in his case
biased application of the po]icv of
demotion and silence?
Secretary Baker is on record sc -
jecting the idea that "iustice is NOT
done to-day under the military law or has
not been done during the war period.
He has also said that he believes "the
conditions implied by these recent COM
plants do not exist and have not ex-
lsted.' But Senator Chamberlain whose
opinion in these matters is entitled to
great respect, differs radically from Mr..
Baker. He says that Lieutenant Colonel
Ansell's latest letter now in the hands
OF the War Department 'is complete
answer to the published defence (Gen-
cral Crowder's) of the. court-martial
system" General Crowder's report was
solicited by the Secretary and was
promptly given to the press. Why is
lieutenant Colonel Anscll's reply only
handed about in confidence?
IL 's also charged that the Ansell
aenosion was in conflict with a depart
mert regulation. The pubic is not par
.'cuiariy interested in the personal
friction which apparently exists between

A Soldier $ DISGUST

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
- lR l am taking the liberty of conveying
~ to you the great surprise and dsappoin.-
ment-l might even say disgust-of several
members of the American expeditionary
forces, including myself, upon hearing Of
the appointment of William Randolph Hearst
as chairman of the committee for the recep-
tion of returning soldiers. May ask if the
soldiers of the 9th and nth divisions, as
well as those of all other divisions and units
returning via New York, deserve such an un-
mistakable insult?
1t is true, Hearst did greatly contribute to
Mr.. Hylan's election as Mayor of New YORK
but should the payment of political debt
go so far as to embody direct and unns-
taxable insult TO the Homecoming soldiers'

able to pay. The American Secretary of
State had words of affection for France,
put no proposals for putting her in pos
session OF the raw materials, the ma
cninery and the capital she will require
IN order to recover her place in foreign
markets. Germany's great industrial
machine is int. That of France is
deeply wounded.
III Is not true that Germany can pay
only by exporting manufactures to for
elgn markets. In so far as it may be
desirable for her to pay in that way, the
nature OF such manufactures should be
rigidly specified and regulated They
should consist exclusively in things which
DO not compete with the products of
labor in the Allied countries, else you
will have Germany paying out of the
pockets of her enemies at last.
But she can pay also and at once in
many other ways--in art treasures, in
foreign securities owned, in gold, in
potash, in forfeiture of competitive
rlghts-for instance, the right to build
and sail ships, merchant marine be-
ing not essential to her internal pro-
ductivity. She might pay heavily in the
form of an international corridor across
her territory to Russia.
The immediate question is not how
much she shall pay, but whether really
she shall pay at all, for if she can avoid
giving up anything she now has and
arranges a debt to be traded out in the
markets she will have capitalized the
myth of immunity.

The Hun IN the Holy Land

all he could see on every side were Ger

Back in the Ranks

One sentence in Mr. James R. Mann's
latest statement deserves svmpatbetic
notice. 1t is this; II took my defeat
ior Speaker in good nature and without
complaining" The Tribune STRONGLY on
posed Mr.. Mann's candidacy for Speaker
in 1917, as we'll as in 1919. His war
record was bad. 1t disqualified him for
party leadership. His ambitions for lead
ershlp are now a thing of the past. Mr..
Mann has again become a private in the
ranks; defeated for the Speakership, he
is chairman of no important committee
and abandons leadership
There is little ground for fearing Mr.
Mann will be able to control the new
House organization. The normal selfish
ness of chairmen will be in the way. No
one has ever dominated the House from
the rear benches. In the great davs of
the Speakership the Speaker was the
czar, whatever his real ability. He never
exercised power as some other members
agent, That rule holds good now with
the Speakership. 1t also holds good with
the chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, the floor leader and the
other leaders who at present divide
many Of the former powers of the
Speaker Mr.. Mann. it is fair to ac
knowledge, consented to taking back
seat when he declined the floor leader
shin.
