They are sail to have demonstrated remarkable eff ciency in taking care of the wound ed, a fact which soon made it pos sible for Turkish women to enter university classes with men. At the present time, however, they are still barred from theatres and amuse- ments of various kinds, except spe- cial performance for women only.

Hawaii in Dire Need of American
 School Teachers

Honolulu, T. H., May 3.-The ef- fects of the scarcity of teachers in the United States is being felt here increasingly, and the outlook is rath- CT discouraging to Superintendent Vaughan McCauthey.
 Hawaii now has 1,15O teachers, he says, and 140 of them are uncerti- Heated, there not being sufficient number of certificated teachers to meet requirements. Even with the use of all available material, good and only fair, the quota is 19O short of requirement.
 With not nearly enough teachers to meet demands on the mairiland," says he, Hawaii can look for few recruits. In 1916 76 teachers came here from the mainland. In 1917 we got 110 and in 1918 IF. But in 1919 the number dropped to 60, and will be less this year.
 "ln addition to the small number of teachers who come from tho mainland, they do not stay here long enough. In 1918 the length of sery- ice of mainland teachers was as fol- lows: One hundred and thirty fonr California teachers, one year; 24 Eastern teachers A years. These brief terms of service mean com paratively little to Hawaii. We need not only more teachers, but teachers who will remain long enough to be- come thoroughly familiar with cen ditions and the psychology of the pupils, so they can be of real serv- ice"
 Most teachers who come here from the western coast of America

TOO MUCH STATUTE LAW.

Senator Owen, in an address at

THE MACHINE GUN COMPANY.

The former Pine Bluff service men who are planning a machine gun company of Pine Bluffians to form part of the state guard ought to have the support of everyone. Pine Bluff has been without company of miliatamen for several years. At time the war broke out we were with out company of militia or any branch of the service. A motor truck company was speedily organized and Pine Bluff managed to get in with one all-Pine Bluff unit
 Since the war, this company hay ing disbanded, there has been no mil itary organization here. Nearly ev- cry city of any size throughout the country has at least one company of state troops.
 At least one unit is almost ne- cessity. The proposed machine gun company will provide Pine Bluff with an organization, the need for which has been felt for sometime.

COOPERATE.

l Several weeks ago County Super Psintendent w. P. Keith said that the teacher situation as it confronted the schools of the county was mighty 4erious. Many teachers were resign ling, he said, and there were no ap- dlications that he would be willing tp consider. Errors in grammar, nisspelled words and self-praise Characterised most of the letters of Application, he said
 In a newspaper statement Saturday Fl member of the school board" whose 5lame was not given declared that
 ke city schools were not so troubled.
 Ee was quoted as saying that for S ery vacancy there were five appli-
 Rnts all of the highest order.
 The personnel and the records of 1ie new teachers will tend to make
 ae faculties of the various schools
 f6nger than ever this year." the
 66tation said.
 Hi other words, the teachers who
 rc leaving because they are not
 6id enough, can be succeeded at
 ie same figures by better ones.
 Few people who have children in Inc public schools will believe that he present teachers can be replaced 1t the present rate of pay with bet str teachers. In fact many teachers lh the Pine Bluff schools can hardly
 e replaced with better teachers at
 ven much better figures.
 If the city school board has list S4 applicants from which staff of teaehers as good as the present staff nm be chosen the board would do Xsll to communicate with MT. Keith.
 r. Keith says his letters of appli- Rtibn are characterized by "errors grammar, misspelled words and elf-praise."
