TREES FOR PLANTING
State Will Furnish These At Cost
OF Production To All.

With the approach of spring the
topic of trees is frequently discussed.
There will be more forest and road
side planting this year than ever be-
fore, according to present indications.
Many inquiries have been received
by the State Board of Forestry, 815
Calvert Building, Baltimore, by those
who want to plant memorial trees,
by others who are anxious to plant
rows of trees for windbreaks to tenn
per the cold west and northwest wind.
and many others shade trees along
the roadways. A few are making ar
rangements to plant some of their
idle or waste land in forest trees.
Whatever the needs, the State Board
OF Forestry is ready to help in advice
regarding the selection of trees and
method of planting, and in furnishing
the trees at actual cost.
The trees range in size and price
from a inch pines at less than half
cent apiece, up to pines feet tall at
so cents apiece, and from oak trans
plants from 10 inches at 2 cents
apiece to ash and elm trees Is feet
tall at 65 cents each. Between these
extremes are trees of many varieties
and sizes selected because of their
suitability for the different soils and
the different purposes of planting
throughout Maryland. They include
two kinds of pine, Norway spruce, cy-
press, three kinds of oak, ash, elm,
black walnut, two kinds of maple, Pc
can, Oriental plane, two kinds of To-
Gust, ginko and other trees suitable
for forest or roadside planting.
The State Nursery has proven to be
one of the most popular branches of
the Forestry Department and has done
much toward promoting tree planting
throughout the State.
Since establishing the nursery the
demand for State grown stock has
exceeded the supply, necessitating ex-
tensions at two different times. Some
stocks are low, but the policy of first
come, first served" will prevail while
they last.

OUT OF HARMONY.

Most of US have experienced the un-
pleasant effects of being out of har-
mony with existing conditions, but we
do not, as rule, feel that we should
share the responsibility for the same
It is hard to admit that we are to
blame in any circumstances, and
rather than put ourselves to the hu-
initiation of doing this we are content
to place the responsibility where it
does not always rightfully belong.
Perhaps if we would take the time to
search our own inner consciousness
we would find that we, too, have had
much to do with increasing the lack
of harmony that should not prevail if
peace and contentment are to be ex-
pected. Things go wrong with US, at
times, so wrong, indeed, that we lose
heart and begin to wonder if life is
worth living. The dark clouds of
depression settle about US and hide US
from the cheerful rays of the bright
sun of good fellowship and wholesome
activity. We become sullen and mo-
rose; we shut ourselves off from that
pleasant intercourse with others which
is necessary to our happiness and We
get into condition of nervous depres-
sion that at times affects both our
mental and physical health
1t is such circumstances as these
that we should have a care for our
part in the resulting unhappiness; it
is then that we should inquire into our
souls and find out, if we can, how far
we are to blame, and it is then that
we should take prompt measures to
do our part in harmonizing condi-
tons.

TEACHER SHORTAGE CLOSES
THOUSANDS OF SCHOOLS
Woman Educator Cites Living Condi-
tons In Country As One Cause.

Woman Educator Cites Living Condi-
tons In Country As One Cause.
More than $4,000 rural schools in
America have been closed in the pres
ent school year for lack of teachers.
according to Miss Mabel Carney of
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
slty, secretary of the department of
rural education, National Education
Association.
There is now a shortage of 100000
rural school teachers Some places
have been filled by teachers who are
unqualified, but these represent only a
small minority, Miss Carney said. As
result, more than 100000 children
In rural communities have received
virtually no school training in the last
SIX months, it was pointed out.
The discrimination in favor of CITY
children is one of the greatest in
justices of our system of education. g"
Miss Carney said. Eve are spending
an average of $32 on the education
OF city children, compared with S13
on country children. In the east the
average pay of teachers in urban
communities is 500 per month. COM
pared to $40 a month for rural
teachers.
But the salary question is only
part of the problem, so far as rural
school teachers are concerned. Manv
are driven from the field through
hardships of their living conditions
The country teacher must live in a
lonely farmhouse, often walking manv
miles to school. She spends the win
ter IN an unheated room, breaking
the ice in her water pitcher to wash.
Often she has no bedroom to herself
but is obliged to sleep with the chill
dren of the house"
The remedy for such conditions
Miss Carney said, lies in the erection
OF teachers cottages, of which there
now are 500 in the country, chiefly
IN Texas and Washington.

THE RETURN OF THE ROADS.

The turning back of the railroads
to their nominal owners is the most
striking symptom so far of the tran
sltlon from war to peace. When the
roads were taken over in December.
1917, it was the general belief that
government operation would be pro-
longed indefinitely. Many people.
deceived by the experience of Euro
pean countries, looked for so much
greater efficiency and economy of
operation under government control
that the demand for government
ownership would become irresistible.
The showing of the last two years
has shattered this illusion.

MORALE OR MONEY FOR THE
TEACHERS.

report was made at a convoca-
of high school teachers at
Feland that the morale of the
ools is breaking under the stress of
ent-day conditions. The principal
Guilty appears to be to get teachers
stick to their work at the rate of
y offered. This is not a new or
vel condition. 1t has been notorious
ince the first effort at free educa-
ton. The original schoolmaster taught
exclusively for the love of his profess
sion, the good he felt he was doing
in spreading enlightenment among the
multitude. To some extent the teach
er today is animated similarly, but ex-
igencies of modern life have thrust
in other things that must be given
weight in the personal problem of the
man or woman who undertakes the
profession. The answer to these more
or less extraneous and personal ques-
lions lies with the public. If the
schools of this land are to be main
tanned at their high level, with stand
ards unimpared, a teaching corps
must be kept equal to the demand.
And this costs money. Pay of teachers
is too low, whether it be in the uni
versity, the high school, the graded
city schools or the ungraded rural
schools. Taxpayers will have to rec
onciie themselves to pay more or see
the standards suffer.
