GET RIGHT, sINNERsl

II you have entertained strong
doubts in the past as to whether wo.
man suffrage was near at hand il will
be well to revise all this schedule
pow and get right The women Of the
United States will have the ballot
guaranteed them in the Anthony suf-
frage amendment before another
month is gone and the nation will
have opened the way for the woman's
vote.
Two more will complete the neces-
sary SO states to make the amend
ment binding Washington state calls
its legislature in session on March
22nd to ratify through mere formal
ity. This state already has suffrage
for women, and merely has to go
through the form of, ratifying to as
sist in making the amendment legal.
Other necessary steps have been TAX
en- to assure the last state needed.
The women of the United States
will thus be enabled to vote for the
candidates in the fall national cleo
tons They will also have their plans
made for the local and state elec-
tions
Not one particle Of excitement will
follow. Not many people will even
admit surprise when they see women
exercising the ballot as men do. 1t
will come naturally as tomorrow's
sun and they will take their place,
most of them, with the right idea that
they owe it to their community, their
public institutions, and their state to
go and express their choice for public
servants and principles of govern
nSent and taxation.
The attendant ills which have been
so often referred to will not come.
There will be drawbacks, but not
enough to make the ballot in the wo-
mans hands an unsafe thing.

GARDENS AND CHICKENS

The man without backyard

did experience and at the same
time losing quite a wad of dough.
-1Thomasville Times Enterprise,
Quite a wad of dough is right. That
means the head of the family is
spending much more on the grocery
bill than he should spend. Making a
garden in this section is so easy--so
many things grow well and with great
yield. that it is unwise not to have 4
garden to help feed the family
Any average family with a garden
and cow, is almost independent. Of
course, the feed for the COW must be
provided in some way besides out of
the high priced stock from the west
Cow feed grows here as easily as
does human food. Milk and vegetables
make up a food supply hard to out
strip in an direction They are valu
able in meeting the grocery bill.
And the chickens come next. But
in the first place. as long as you are
permitting us to extend TO you this
suggestive advice please try to keep

TEACHER SHORTAGE

Ine teacnef-SnOrtaRe situation
while in some parts of the country
slightly better than last October
when the National Education Associa
tion made its inquiry, is still a very
grave problem, according to reports
received by the National Bureau OF
Education.
On February 13 the Commissioner
of Education found, on the basis OF
returns from State school officers,
that there are 1929 schools closed
because of lack of teachers, and Al
900 schools taught by teachers char
acterized as "below standard but
taken on temporarily in the emergen
cy" The largest shortage was as fo
lows: Kentucky, $3.50; Texas, 2,O55;
Virginia 1000; Georgia, 1900 North
Carolina, 700; Iowa, 600.
Substandard teachers are reported
as follows: Texas, 1000; Virginia
$500; Alabama, 3,500 Georgia, 5000;
Tennessee, 5000; Minnesota, 1850;
Illinois, 1900; Kentucky 1000; New
York. LOO; South Carolina, 1000
In response to the question. What
provision is made for children in ter
rtories where schools are closed?
eighteen States report that children
are transferred To other schools
three States report no provision, one
States report that the majority Of
States report that the mapority OF
children are losing the grade.
In response to the question, Are
people moving to centers of popula-
tion?", six States report that no data
are at hand; five States report very
little; three States report a CON
siderable movement, and four States
report none. "
In response to the question ITO
what extent are tax payers interesting
themselves in paying better salaries
for teachers?" IA states report that
the interest is general One State re-
ports great interest, and one State
reports very large interest; while
another reports that they are doing
their best"
One significant fact in connection
with the shortage of teachers is that
1870 States, county, city, and private
normal schools report 1883 fewer
students November /. 1919, than they
had the year previous to the war
These schools reporting represent 60
percent of the total normal schools,
and on this basis. there would be a
shortage Of 1910, at graduation
time, 1920. there will he 1000 fewer
graduates from the normal schools.
Misunderstanding departments in
colleges show approximately the
same falling off in those preparing to
teach, although other departments
show a great increase in enrolment
Another significant fact is re.
vealed" says A. 0. Neal, of the Blu.
reaus division of rural education, in
commenting upon the situation. Since
1890 there has been continuous and
increasing withdrawal OF men teach
ers from the profession. The percent
age of men teachers in 1890 was 81
per cent. In 1910 it had fallen to ?.

The return of the st. Louis-San Francisco
Railway to it's owners carries with it the
definite obligation Of public service.
This responsibility we accept. 1t will be
our effort to make our service merit pat
ronage.
Problems confront us that can be solved
only by patience and a cordial understand
ing between transportation agencies and
the public This understanding we will
seek to cultivate.
Transportation facilities have not kept
pace with the remarkable growth of the
Southwest. This condition was unavoida-
BILE, but can and will be remedied
New equipment is necessary to handle the
constantly increasing traffic, due to the
industrial activity in the territory served
by Frisco Lines. 1t has no equal. Already
we have received 4500 new freight cars and

crease our facilities is recognized.

rienced men, long familiar with the prob
