Humble, but Beautiful.

Tho adobe houses of southern Cali
.forD!a maintain an unbroken tradition
from the earliest days, says the Chris
tian Science Monitor. The Spaninrds
themselves brought nothing fundamen'
tai, though they Doubtless Influenced
native builders unconscIously, as we'll
as producing the show places under
their name. The mCSt interesting re-
cent architecture Is no doubt that based
on tho American tradition brought into
line with modern requirements without
in any way injurlnS the result from
the craftsman's point az View. The

unity with the slightest pink or butt

rugs which, OF course, should always
be the foundation Of the furnishings

GREAT MANY SCHOOLS
ARE TEAGHERLESS
Some Startling Facts Devel.
oped Regarding School
Conditions.
(New YORK Erentnr pnsll


Commissioners of Education for
nine states met IN Ne wYork last Jan,
uary. Their utterances give us a geo
graphical broad view OF the increas-
1ngly painful educational situation.
Our own state authorities report a
shortage OF 5000 teachers. West vir-
ginla's representative declared that
400 schools had not opened this year
and that the normal schools were
training only one-fifth the teachers
needed. Commissioner Kendall, OF
New Jersey echoed the recent state
ments OF Governor Runyon, who as
serted that state records showed 6,O0O
pupils being now Handicapped in
their preparation for the competition
OF later years" b yconspicuously poor
teacning, and that the state faced tho
possibility Of a "demoralized and
broken down educational system" AL.
abama's ANIMAL report has Just re-
vealed that 500 schools for whites and
an equal number for negroes could not
open in 1919 for want of teachers. On.
PENNSYLVANIA county has fifty-three
teacherless schools. The Federal Blu.
reau Of Education has estimated the
shortage of teachers at 10000; the
N. E. A. after careful pool, put It al
$4,000, and added that the unfit teach.
ers number $1,000. The evidence
presses in from every side. Secretary
Lane said that $4,000 teachers re.
signed last year.
The situation. of course, is due to
the fact that school teachers are paid
far less than wage workers in most
unskilled occupations.
