Airpiane peveIonmsnt.

American progress toward popular izing civil aviation is giving the Bri- tish government no fears of the Uni
 ted States achieving a supremacy in this line of aeronautics. A white Pa
 per. just issued by the government lists France Italy and Germany as
 Englands most serious competitors
 in securing an international aircraft
 trade.
 Efforts are being made in TtaIy to form a combine to strengthen the po- sition of the aircraft industry. A semi-rigid airship of 1,106000 cubis feet capacity is being constructed for civil aviation and should be ready for service soon. Itis believed that in this
 vessel the Italians will teeempt a flight from Italy to Rio de Janeiro. ii is intended also to despatch a squad
 ron of airplanes from Italy to Japan. The French have adopted the prin- ciple of subsidizing airplane service and 18,000,0O0 france have been ear
 marked this year for that purpose. Ii is understood that the present policy 1 is for the French government to sup ply the material for 8 commercial air ship service from Marsei1les to Africa and later to South America by way

RURAL. SCHOOLS.

A problem, thar is being faced in many sections of the country is the closed school, closed not because of lack of pupils in all cases but be- cause it has not been possible to se- cure teachers! The shortage of teach CTS prevails generally due to the fact tkat many who ordinarily entered training for such work have been at tracted into other channels by the prospects of mere. pay and not a few teachers have abandoned that work for something that will pay better.
 The natural result of this is that the country schools are the ones that have been hit the worst. There the pay has never been as high as in the city schools and appeals. from other directions woulG nave greater effect. To such teachers other fields seemed more alluriPg while to certain ex- tent there were those who had been teaching in rural districts who were eagerly sought to fill up the vacancies in the city schools;
 There is nothing Of greater import ance than the education of the chil- dren. Wherever it has been neces- sary to close schools because of lack Of teachers provision should be made for transporting the pupils thus shut out to other districts where they can get. instruction but what is equally important is the necessity of getting and keeping more young women and men interested in teaching school. There needs to be more normal school graduates and quite necessary in con- nection herewith is the inducement. If the rendering of the highest of ser vices Is not going to provide a living for the country school teacher or if it is not as remuneratiye as other em- ployment it can hardly be expected that opportunities for getting better pay are going to be sacrificed forever because of the liking for teaching.
 The rural schools where some of the conntry's greatest people received their education should not be closed and they will not remain closed if there is a proper realization of their ] importance.

STORIES OF THE WAR
eLsson Doughbey Taught France

eEsson Douqhbey Taught France
 One of the biggest lessons learned by France from the American dough boy. according to Gaston Vidal. pres ident of the Union of Sporting Feder- ations, who was recently elected to the French Chamber of Deputies, is the value of out-doo athletics. He predicts France will have at least 1000 open lair athletic stadiums in various cities and towns within the next five years.
 Tt was due to football, baseball and similar sports! he said. that the United States was able to raise, equip and train an army of 2,500,000 men in a few months, Athletics is the best sort of military preparation.
 M Vidal told a representative of The Associated Press that one of the first bills he will attempt to have passed by the Chamber will be to make the appropriation of 10000 ,00o francs given this year for theletics an annual affair. He said that he also would interpellate the government or the manner in which the 1A,000, ,00O francs of 1919 were expended.
 Referring to the coming Olympic Games, the new member of Pariia ment said that France would send 200 trained athletes to Antwarp, as vel as two complete soccer and Rugby football teams, water polo teams ane tennis
 If the funds allotted by the govern. ment are insufficient, MT. Vidal sait that he, together with MT. Rameil anC MF. Pate, legislative colleagues wht are also much interested in athletics will raise a. public subscription whicf will be called ."'The French Olympia Million" in order to finance the Frenel athletes.

HOSPITAL GIFTS.

There is cause for appreciation on the paft of the entire public when ever thoughtful attention is given to the meeting Of needs of local institu- tions by such gifts as the recent one made to the, nurses home of the training school at the Backus hospi tai. Such may have no direct bear ing upon the facilities at the hospi- tai but 1t nevertheless contributes in a large measure indirectly to the brightening of the hours when the nurses are not engaged in their duties and studies. It makes more. interest ing the outlook of the prospective pu- pils and more satisfied tie period of training.
 The training school at the hospital has undergone appreciable develop ment since it was established. It has turned out many nurses and even though such gifts are for the comfort of those undergoing training they nevertheless. contribute much of i'm portance to the success of the institu- ton and the work Of the nurses and pupils. and whatever serves to make better nurses is reflected in the ser NlCe LHey IeHuer to the patents ana the hospital.
 t1t has been characteristic of Nor. wich people to recognize the import ae8ce. of bringing it's public institu- tions to nigh grade of efficiency fti4Iy conscious Of the Tact that such contributions are not orly serving a good purpose but that they must un- der existing conditions come through such ckann sls.
