NATION FACED by
SHORTAGE OF NURSES

With an alarming shortage of COM
petent trained nurses in the country.
the American Red Cross has launched
an intensive effort to recruit young
women for the nursing profession, &C.
cording to an announcement yesterday
at the Southwestern Division of the
Red Cross with headquarters in St.
Louis. A grave situation would in
stantly arise at any time should a
serious epidemic strike the country
or any large sectional area. In the
event of an outbreak similar to the
recent influenza epidemics, the nurs-
ing personnel would be inadequate to
meet the demands for nurses and the
public health would be menaced, it
was declared.
The Red Cross will work in close
cooperation with the three largest
nursing associations of the country in
the campaign to turn out more train

THE INJUSTICE OF THE
PRESENT COTTON PRICE

Cotton formers are facing a seri-
Gus situation Our crop is short but
II has cost more to make than any
crop ever grown. Fertilizers, labor,
implements, fced--everything, in fact
that has gone into the making Of the
crop---h have cost more than ever before.
! But despite these facts, there seems
to he determined effort to force cot
ton down to 90 cents just about
half what it cost to make this crop,
if our farmers. their wives and chill.
drcn are to get a decent wage for
their labor. Seed prices, understand
have opened up at S27 a ton---a fig
uie that is simply ridiculous, COM
pared with the $50 to so we got last
year.
When we go to buy bagging and
ties, the price is decidedly higher than
last year Ginning prices last year
were 80 cents per 100 pounds of seed
cotton. This year the ginners have
boosted the price to 80 cents, despite
the fact that labor is more plentiful
than year ago. Before the war
cotton was ginned for 10 cents. Is
there any warrant for charging four
times as much now? At this rate
the seed out of bale of cotton will
just about pay for ginning and wrap
ping.
The South has good many empty
farm houses now, but they are not
circumstance to what we will have
if this thing keeps up.
If the cotton grower is ever to as
sert his right, it seems to me that
now is the time. If we give way and
accept 90 cents for our crop, it is 60

starvation wages that southern far
mcrs endured for so years, following

HUMANE TEACHING IN SCHOOLS

tERNEST BELL, Editor of the Ami.

The principal Of large school in
Yorkshire recently wrote to me, 81
have often wondered how to instil in
children the love of animals--I be.
lieve it is either there or it is not.
This is true to Il. certain point, but
not by any means wholly so. Love
of animals is a special development
Of sympathy. and like love of music
or work, or astronomy. or anything
else, it is developed i'm varying de-
grees in all of us. There may bc a
few quite devoid Of it, but, if so, they
arc great exceptions. 1t. however,
stands on rather different footing
from many other qualities or faculties
For example. to try and teach a dis
tinctly unmusical child music is a pure
waste of time, as no good can come
Of il. But to teach child justice
and sympathy and even a little love
of animals is not unilhporatnt, be-
cause it materially affects the feeling
of other sentient beings which no one
has right to disregard any more than
one would like others to disregard
ones own feelings. II you agree
humancness ought, as far as possible
as possible, to be gethecludcd,mchar
to be inculcatcd, the question arises
how can it best be taught. We often
hear it said first that it is not pos
sible to teach morals in school; sec
ondly, that morals are being taught
all the time; and thirdly, that morals
should be taught in the home, and
not at school. II morals can not be
taught, why does every wcll-mcaning
person, parent, teacher, or friend. try
to impress upon children that they
should be honest and truthful, kind to
their little brothers and sisters, and
brave and unselfish? What is the
meaning of the millions of sermons
every year in churches and chapcls,
the thousands of lectures on ethical
questions? What would be the use
Of the whole of the Band of Mercy
work? If morals can be taught out of
school. they can, of course, be taught
in school also. Aa nation we have
not tried the experiment yet. All that
has been done in this way has been
private organizations or personal en-
terprise.
Would anyone affirm that if we
took as much care and trouble to in
culatc sympathy with suffering, as
we do indifference and cruelty, we
should not in few years see a marked
difference in our behavior toward the
so-called lower animals?
The Scout movement has always
seemed to me to be an excellent one.
It is real education; it is founded on
quite right lines. the boys natural
tribal instinct and love of adventure
is utilized and turned into new
and useful direction. I have often
wondered whether any games could be

invented which do not bring in the
lcs ire to worst someone else, and the
| Scout game does it. There is a
healthy rivalry. bu. the rivalry is ia
| beat the other in being helpful and
showing Kindness. The rules as To the
treatment of animals have been ex-
ccllrnt. and cannot but have good
INFLUENCE on the boys after lives.
The essential pon; in education
should not be mathematics, science,
or languages. To attain the end ad-
v"ratc nothing is better in the case
| of children than the awakening in
them Of Il feeling Of interest and love
| for animals. To most children it
comes naturally with little cncour-
agcnIcnt and guidance. but many fall
into the opposite mental habit more
readily when they are left uninstruct-
ed, or are perhaps deliberately en-
| cuuragcd.
The Americans are long way
ahead Of us in this matter. An Ameri-
can Humane Education Society has
been formed and nineteen different
states of America have definite time
set apart for instruction in schools
in humane subjects. There are,
know, two main difficulties in carry
ing out this much needed and truly
cducativc reform. The first is the diff
ficalty of finding room in the curri-
culum for any new subject. This is
n question for the education author
tiles rather than the teachers, but
surely to make room for a work of
such vital Importance, something else
may be omitted. The human race
and the country will never be rcgen-
Grated by learning algebra, astrono-
my. French, or bookkeeping, but by
learning the ethics of right conduct
toward each other. The second diff
ficulty is to know how to teach a sub
ject which. in itself, is rather vague.
A new subject is always a difficulty
aS the teacher himself probably needs
to learn something off his special
line before he can cffectually teach
it. There is, however, a Moral In
struction League in London which has
done excellent work, and several books
by their lecturer, Mr.. F. J. Gould, con-
tain very valuable matter, and also
show how to utilize it. With regard
to animals especially, we have the
experience of the Bands of Mercy to
work on; their methods are daily DEM
onstrated and are in every way excel
lent. Instead of the "Hymn Of Hate"
you have heard of, why should not
school children start the day with a
hymn Of brotherhood and love? This
would at once give tone to the
mornings work, and even this one
item would dwell in the child's re-
tentive memory.
1t is the little things of life
which influence people; with regard
to the treatment of animals, we cannot
be too particular. especially with chill.
