For instance, troop of baboans---
for it has been proved that they near
ly always go about In large companies
always post sentry. He is placed
in some prominent position, so that
he can give immediate warning In the
event of any hostile attack.
The baboon's cry somewhat resem-
bles a German "Hoch!" shouted
through megaphone, and 1t Is pos
sible to talk to them by means OF 1t.
A baboon is said to be able to count
up to two, and not beyond that; and
as they come in large numbers and
carry off the ripe mealies, steps have
to be taken to repel them. And SO,
when the mealies get ripe, three men
walk into the field with their guns
and lie down.
After a time one Of them gets up
and goes out and the baboon sentry
counts-one. Later on another goes
out, and as the sentry only counted
two men coming in, he concludes that
there is nobody left in the field and
accordingly gives the signal, where
upon the whole troop swarms over the
fence and begins to gather the corn.
AS soon as they are near enough the
third man shoots them down with q
repeating rifle, and If he is a fairly
good shot their numbers are greatly

teachers themselves, but for the sake

While the shortage of teachers is a
grave problem it is by no means a tenn
pOrary one The outlook for the future
is still darker. There is a big falling
off in the number of young men and
women who are preparing to enter the
profession. Reports from 100 differ
cnt normal schools, scattered through
out the United States, show that on
Nov. /, 1919, they had more than H.
600 fewer students than they had the
year previous to the war This means
that the graduates of normal schools
this year will fall more than 1000
short of the average pre-war times
And the increase in population calls
for larger supply of new teachers
than ever before in the history of the
country,

Throughout the United States more
than $4,000 schools are closed for in
definite periods because of need for
teachers, while the teachers employed
temporarily, who are without the re-
quisite training, but who are needed to
keep many of the schools open, num-
Der 1890 Wisconsin shows signs of
awakening to a realization of the
menace to the schools, and in a num-
Der of communities steps have been
taken to make teaching more attrac-
tive.

EDUCATIONAL.

"If teachers salaries are not in
creased, our public school system is
kely to collapse; and our public
school system is the foundation of our
citizenship"
These are not words from an appeal
of teachers for a living wage. They
are from the Outlook, magazine of
the highest character, progressive but
not a radical publication, of which Ly-
man Abbott, one of Americas leading
thinkers, is the editor. 1t will be re-
membered that former President
Roosevelt was consulting editor of the
Outlook.
What shall be done to prevent such
a calamity as the collapse of our public
school SYSTEM? The Outlook says;
Radical legislation to increase sal
aries from 20 to 40 per cent is neces-
sary"
This is the solution of the problem
Endorsed by the leading minds of the
United States Like all forward-look-
ing people they see the peril to the
schools and they earnestly advocate
the ony measure that will ward off the
menace
Is any further argument necessary?
