WOMAN,S SUFFRAGE,

The national woman's suffrage am
endment is in acute danger of not re-
ceiving sufficient state notifications to
permit all women to vote in the forth
coming presidential election. Thirty
three states have ratified the amend
ment and of that number, Ohio and
Oklahoma have developed movement
for referendum which might nullify
their notifications. Six state legisla-
lures, those of Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia and
Maryland. definitely have defeated the
amendment. 1t will be noted that the
amendment has been defeated exclus-
lively in the gallant SOUTH There
are now eight state legislatures
those Of Florida, Tennessee, Delaware,
Connecticut and Vermont which have
not yet acted upon the amendment.
From these eight states, suffrage lead
ers declare they must have, at the
very least, in view of the referendum
movements in Oklahoma and Ohio,
they should have five notifications.

Here are some figures about the

Educational Association conducted an
inquiry and found that in the United
States 1929 schools had been closed
because Of shortage of teachers, and
4l,000 schools being taught by teach
ers "below standard but taken tenn
porarily in the emergency" Salaries
paid teachers in 1918, statistics show,
We're on the average of 100000 for ell
ementary teachers and S1,O31.OO for
those teaching in the high schools.
Rural teachers in many states were
paid as low at $3.50 and 5000 a year.
In 100 state, county, city and private
normal schools, representing 60 per
cent of the total normal schools in the
country. there were 1853 fewer stu
dents enrolled Nov /, 1919, than in
the pre-war period. A similar falling
off is shown in teacher training de-
partments in colleges, while other de-
partments show great increases in en-
rollment
There has been an increasing with
drawal of men teachers from the pro-
fession. the percentage of male teach
ers in 1918 being only II per cent, or
one in every six.

FIVE POINTS IN CORN GROWING
kansas City Starr

A Missouri corn grower produced
a yield of 1878 bushels Of corn an
acre on five acres last year. Wnen
asked by The Weekly Star to give the
secret of his high yield he declared
that there were really but four points;
in successful corn growing Selected
seed crop rotation, a good season and
plenty of work. Since this farmer
grew eighty bushels an acre in 1916,
1O3 bushels in 1917 and ninety seven
bushels in 1918, it would seem that his
modesty prevented him adding fifth
and most important point, in corn
growing, a good farmer.
The weathet records tell us that
1918 was a poor season and 1916 was
nothing worth boasting about, yet in
both these seasons this farmer pro-
duced threefold greater corn yields
than the average farmers of his coun-
ty produced in a good season. In the
long run there is more in the farmer
than in the farm or season.
