THE TEACHER SHORTAGE

Listen to these figures from the
Chicago High Schools, Mr.. Taxpayer,
you fellows who have been growing
about the cost of the schools.
In 1913 out of 500 girls gradual
ing from or leaving the Chicago
High Schools, 247 became teachers.
In 1918 out of 500 girls gradual
ing or leaving those schools, only "a
became teachers
AS that condition prevails every
where, you should not be surprised
when you hear that many schools are
having to close for lack of teachers
If you want your children educated
so they will have a fair chance in
ife, you will have to pay enough tc
teachers to get a class of women who
are mentally competent to perform
this exacting work.
A good school teacher must have
education, which costs money, also
mental free and originality. The
teaching profession will never be
filled again, until it pays higher sal.
aries than the ordinary business pc.
sition.

AN UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION

The United States faces a crisis as
difficult and threatening as any sit
uation in its history. Never before
was it in need of strong, brainy, COM
mon sense intelligence ad construc-
tive thinking.
Since january, 1919. the United
States has been as badly off as if it
had no president at all. President
Wilson spent six months Of his pre-
cious time in Europe, working over
the League of Nations. Meanwhile
forces Of disturbance and turmoil
We're growing in this country, and no
plans were formed to check them.
When he returned, his attention
was principally concentrated on the
League of Nations. Congress was
forced to give it's attention to that.
The problems of reconstruction, the
most critical and difficult the nation
ever faced, were allowed to drift.
AS a result of attempting to do
eve yt1All6 ullllSell duu uOL SudIC Ills
responsibility with other people, Mr..
Wilson was taken very critically i'll.
He is still practically a sick man. He
has the abnormal view of a man in
i'll health. The country would have
been far better off, if when he was
taken sick the responsibilities of his
office had been passed over to the
Vice President.
Mr.. Wilson has meant well. He
has the deep sympathy of the coun-
try in his depressing illness Every
one desires his early and complete re-
covery. But the country has it's crit
ical problems to face, and the need
for immediate action for self-preser-
walton. The President is hampered
by his unwillingness to accept coun-
sci. He can not adjust himself to
practical life. The United States
has paid a terrific price for placing
it's destinies in the hands of a mar
hacking the gift Of common sense.

EFFICIENT RAIL.
WAY OPERATION

While the great majority Of the
people are we'll pleased to see the
railroads 60 back to private owner
ship and contro, it is generally adj
mitted that they onght to never re-
turn wholly to the old methods. The
government a able to do certain
things that private owners eve
could do. There is nc reason why
any improvements that developed UNI
der government control, should not
be retained under private manage
ment.
In many cases previous to govern
ment control, competing roads would
use two stations in one city or town,
with much duplication Of expenses,
all Of which the public had to pay
for. Where a saving has been made
by uniting stations, terminals, and
freight houses, the railroads should
continue this consolidation.
Under private ownership where
the roads we're required to compete,
goods would frequently be SEN by
roundabout ways, SO that some rail-
road wuld get the advantage Of a
longer haul. That would use up
more coal, take more labor, and clog
up transportation facilities, which
would in the end be paid for by the
public.
Under the new system of operation
whatever gains were made by direct
routing should be retained. The
railroads should not be permitted to
add to labor and cost of ~transporta-
ton by roundabout shipments. If
the roads having the less direct
routes suffer by diversion of freight,
they will have to be compensated.
But as a whole direct routing will be
much more economical. The nations
freight can be transported in that
way with much less equipment and
labor.
1t ought to be possible to save the
gains that were made under public
operation, while returning to the
greater efficiency that can be expect
ed under the stimulus Of individual
ambition and private ownership.
