Reports in the baily papers last week
stated that there are hundreds Of va
cancies in the Arkansas pvblic schools,
il being impossible for the authorities
to secure competent teachers. 1t is a
repetition Of conditions stated else
where. Thousands of teachers have
quit the profession and gone into other
lines that are more remunerative and
others are following each month.
There are several vacancies in this
county and more in the other counties
of the state. School officials are
limited in the salaries they can
offer teachers by the revenues
placed at their disposal. Win Us
the school tax rate will be fixed 10
July along with the other taxes and
ieiuzeas VINO are genuinely interested
in securing teachers for every school
ia the county next year and in paying
these teachers a reasonable salary
should discuss it with their district
Justices Of the Peace and acqlant
them with their views. As stated in
these columns before, the County
Court OF this county has been liberal
enough in the pact with the schools and
it is believed that body is yet willing
to do its part toward maintaining equit-
able salaries for the teachers. But it
is up tn the public to advise these court
members what is desired. Too many
are afraid of every increase in taxes
Of any kind. The fact is everything
has increased in cost and taxes must
be increased to meet these costs. The
public is more able to pay an increased
tax. Less pounds of cotton viii be re-
CURED to pay the tax on any farm in
the county for 1919 than for any year
in 25 years. Less bushels of corn OF
fewer gallons of molasses will be re-
ouired, The Falcon has not the views
of a single member of the county court
on the tax situation. but common sense
teaches that we must pay more taxes
now than formerly and in fixing the
rates the schools should be kept II
mind

Those advocating a universal mill
tary training law for this country would
take every young man, no matter what
his future work might be, and force
him to take certain course OF military
training. We do not force them 70 vo-
cational training of any kind, no force
for training farmers. lawyers, DOCTORS
bankers, nor any other calling, and
hence the proposed law would put the
military above all Else in this country,
would take the young men away from
their chosen work for such time as the
military training is going on and would
be giving them training they MIGHT
need at some future tine. Unless we
Judge wrong this country wants none
of such a law, and the Democratic
Caucus at Washington recently voiced
the sentiment of the nation.
