Appeal made byEducators.

Washington, d. c., May 10.
There were ll,503 fewer pupils

ing schools on November /, 1919
than in che year before the war.
These schools are 500 of the en-
tire teacher training force of the
country. The total deficit of
normal school pupils for the year
is estimated at $4,000 and the
number of graduates Grained
teachers available for duty) will
be 1000 less than are ordinarily
turned out.
These are startling facts con.
cerning the available supply of
new teachers brought out today
at the opening session of the
National Citizens conference on
Education called by u. s. Com.
missioner of Education Claxton,
to consider the general subject
of The National Crisis in Edu-
cation and How to Meet it. "
State school superintendents and
leading educators, taxing cuthori.
ties and business interests are
represented on the conference
Another startling fact was the
opening statement of the Com
missioner of Education that there
are now 10000 vacancies to be
filled in rural schools alone, while
there is a shortage Of Is, 00O
trained teachers in city, town
and village schools and AZ. 00G
schools conducted by improperly
trained or inefficient teachers.
The solution of the educational
crisis is in adequate pay or eff
cient work, according to the
leaders in the conference which
is expected to open a nation wide
campaign for paying salaries
that will attract and hold the
services of trained men anC
women in the schools.

of price cutting in wearing ap.

the country, merchants in many
cities and towns announcing re-

also from above. below and either

poured forth upon our square In
the moonlight they looked very
terrible with their flowing white
robes and their cleaning spears.

son, since without any apparent ex.
ertion she held her place a few
steps ahead of us.
There was another curious cir
cumstance about this business,
namely, that terrified though they
were, those Rezuites seemed to find
1t impossible to run away very fast.
They kept turning round to look
behind them at the following Wis.
ion, as though they were so many
thousands of Lots wives.
Moreover, the same fate overlook
many of them which fell upon that
scriptural lady, since they seemed
to become petrified and stood there
quite still, like a rabbit fascinated
by a snake, until our people came
up and killed them.
This staying went on all down
the last steep slope OF the ridge, on
which | suppose at least two-thirds
Of the army OF Rezu must have
persisted, since our Amahagger
showed themselves very handy
men when Il came to killing foes
who were too terror-struck to fight,
and exhilarated by the occupation

face Of our square gave way yelling
like devils. and the enemy began TO

my folly for ever having had any

Hans screamed to me in a thin
voice that the only chance was for

our ranks, dragging the wounded
men into the square. Scarcely had
we done this when with a mighty
shout of "RezW' the enemy at
tackled again-hat was about an
hour after the battle had begun.
Rut now they had changed their
tactics, for instead of trying to
rush all sides Of the square at
once, they concentrated their ef-
forts on the western front, that
which faced towards the plain be-
low.
On they came and among them
in the forefront of the battle, now
and again l caught sight of gigan-
tic man, a huge creature who
seemed to me to be seven feet high
and big in proportion. could not
see him clearly because of the I'M
certain moonlight, but ! noted his
fierce aspect, also that he had an
enormous beard, black streaked
with grey, that flowed down to his
middle, and that his hair hung in
masses upon his shoulders.
"Rezu himself" shouted to
Umslopogaas.

us, and Hans, sprang forward to
give them an example which. to be
just to them, they took.
This Is the mound on which Red
Beard should be-" cried Hans as we
faced a little slope.

gloom which precedes the actual
dawn, saw group of men gath
Grad round something, as people
collect about a street accident.
"Red-Beard on the stone. They
are killing him." screeched Hans
again.
II was so; at least several white
robed priests we're bending over

their hands. while behind stood
the huge fellow whom ! took to be
Rezu, staring towards the east as
though he were waiting for the
rim of the sun to appear before he
gave some order. At that very
moment II did appear, just a thin
edge OF bright light on the horizon,
and he turned to shout the order.
Too late! For we were on them.

The Staying Of Rssa.

A T last we were on the plain.
~ the remnant OF Rezu's army
- still running before us like a
mob of game pursued by Wild dogs.
Here we halted TO reform our
ranks; Il seemed to me. although
she still spoke no word. that some
order reached me from the CLEAN
ing Ayesha that ] should do this.
The business took twenty minutes
or so, and then, numbering ABOUT
two thousand five hundred strong,
for the rest had fallen In the fight
OF the square, We advanced again.
Now there came that dusk which
often precedes the rising OF the
sun, and through II could see that
the battle was not yet over, since
gathered In front OF us was still
force about equal to our own. Aye
sha pointed toward It with her
wand and we leapt forward to the
attack. Now the men OF Rezu
stood, seeming to overcome their
terror with the approach OF day.
The battle was fierce. a very
strange battle in that dim, uncer'
tain light, which scarcely showed
us friend from foe. Indeed. ] am
not sure that we should have won
It, since Ayesha was no longer visi-
BILE to give the Amahagger conn.,
dence, and as the courage OF the Re-
zuitss increased, 80 theirs seemed
to lessen with the passing Of the
night.
But fortunately, just as the thing
hung doubtful. there was a shout
to our left and. looking, made out
the tall shape of Goroko. the witch
doctor with the other Zulu, fol-
lowed by his two hundred and fifty
men, and leaping in to the flank OF
the line OF Rezu.
That settled the business. 1t
crumpled up and melted, and just
then the first lights of dawn ap
peared in the sky. ! looked about
me for Ayesha, but she had gone,
whereto / knew not, though at the
moment I feared she must have
been killed in the melee. Then I
gave up looking and thinking. since

ing as they came. and began TO move
forward with a gliding motion.
Now from every side there went
up a roar OF "She-who-commands!
She-who-commands!" while the
people of Rezu In front shouted
"Lylala, Lulala. Fly, Lulala is
upon us with the witchcrafts Of the
moon"
She moved forward and, by some
strange impulse. for no order was
given, we all began to move after
her. Yes, the ranks that a minute
before were beginning to give way
to wild panic became filled with a
marvellous courage and moved af-
ter her.
The men OF Rezu also, and ! sup
pose with them Rezu himself, for
saw no more of him at that time,
began to move uncommonly fast
over the edge OF the plateau tow
ard the plain beneath. In fact they
broke into full flight and. leaping
over the dead and dying, we rushed
after them. always following the
cleaning robe Of Ayesha, who must
have been an extremely agile per-

I did not answer him because,
putting aside any nasty pride. the
thing was impossible, for how could
we get throug' those struggling
masses of men which surrounded
us on every side. No, my clock

a kind of mental sandwich of pray
ers and curses, prayers for my soul
and forgiveness of my sins. and
