''In 1890 there was So per cent of
tenantry in the United States; in
1900 there was SIS per cent; in 1910,
SO per cent. The census of this year
will undoubtedly show 60 per cent,
and, unless an Intelligent effort is
made to correct present conditions,
tenantry is bound to increase much
more rapidly than at the past rate
of 2 or per cent in a decade.
Perils of Tenantry
"The United States and England

conditions through the increasing
proportion of labor that is remain
ing latent. Our standards of living
are falling because our production is
decreasing. Both nations are strug-
Cling with great housing shortage
Since 1851 England has attempted to
better her housing conditions
through philanthropic legislation,
subsidizing the tenant and driving
private enterprise out Of the business
of supplying houses.
"The United States, with the
abandonment of the principle of
primogeniture when the government
was formed, took a different path
and has adhered to it, 1t has al
, ways been the national policy to
make home ownership rather than
tenantry the popular practice.
Homes have been acquired through
labor, and not through state aid.
This very fact opens plain road to
the United States now not only to
relieve its housing shortage but to
draw into activity the latent energy
of ito citizenry. Having the means
other than state aid in subsidy form
to enable the worker to acquire his
own home, the United States pos
sesses a powerful weapon for dissi-
pating unrest, for stabilizing the
workers and for multiplying the dam
gers that threaten US from European
ideas bred among men who have
never had a chance to own their
homes"

garded the fact of whether a man

Teach or Marry

Mrs. Stacy is a bit of pioneer
herself. 1t is hard to realize that
the Observation-Disclosures problem
which is worrying US shiftless men
more than it seems to bother the
women is comparatively recent.
When Mrs. Stacy was graduated
from the University of Minnesota
the only alternative to staying at
home and waiting for the right
young man was to teach. Both of
Mrs. Stacy's parents were college
professors, and she found teaching
most congenial. She taught the
elementary grades and high school
classes. After she received her M.
A. at Columbia she taught in a
leading Western university.
When Mrs. Stacy married and
settled down in Minneapolis she
promised to fill out the usual round
of home and children, social and
church duties. But Mrs. Stacy is
not the kind to stay put. Her
brother-inlaw, who is one of the
owners of the Dayton Company, a
leading department store of Mime
apolis, came to her and asked her

help in training the girls of the
store. 1t was new field for a
woman of Mrs. Stacy's position. She
jumped into the work and took hold
in broad, constructive spirit She
sold goods behind the counters, ac-
companied the buyers on their trips
to the markets and experienced for
herself everything that she was
undertaking to teach the girls. She
has had seven years of this sort of
highly practical training in the
Dayton Company store as educa-
tional director.
Once the summer session of the
Training School for Teachers of Re-
tail Selling was definitely decided
upon, Mrs. Stacy organized a thor
ough publicity campaign. An in
teresting pamphlet was prepared
and sent to a selected list of de-
partment stores, schools and other
interested centers. Mrs. Stacy her

clothing and perishable luxures OF
every kind, the labor and the ma
chinery of the country are devotlns
themselves to supplying US with
these things at fancy price. There
is little glass for the windows OF
stores and dwellings,, because glass
fetches better prices if made INTO

is a shortage of manufacturers ma
terlals in one community and
shortage Of food in another because
there are not enough freight cars 70
haul the raw materials to the one
and the produce from the farms to
the other; and the steel that might
go into more freight cars has been
going into less essential things

that everybody seems able to order
