A Serious Outlook
(Atlanta Constitution

(Atanta Constitution
 Announcement which has just been made by the Federal Bureau of Education that there will be a shortage of 98,775 public school teachers when the 192O-21 school year opens next September, and that the vacancies in the faculties of the high schools of the country alone total 26,00O, affords an idea Of the real seriousness of the educational situation that confronts the American people
 The Bureau bases it's estimate upon replies to questionnares with which it recently sounded out conditions in all parts of the country, and which brought nationwide response
 Replies it received from colleges and normal schools show that only 1O,620 of this years grad uates intend to take up teaching as vocation
 This number is far and away below the average and the deflection from the ranks of the teacher recruits is attributable almost entirely to the SUI perior monetary inducements held out by other pro- fessions and cangs as compared with the general inadeuuacy of the pay offered to teachers.
 With teachers by the hundreds in every State almost in every city and every county-refusing to stand for" reelection, and with few offering to fill the vacancies thus created one wonders what is to come of the cOuntry's boys and girls!
 The total number of 1920 graduates who intend to teach according to the Federal Bureaus figures is considerably below one-half of the number re- ouired to fill the vacancies that exist in our schools to say nothing of the vacancies that exist Tn the lower grades.
 will have to continue, the schools running snort handed" and overburdened and overworked teachers or else that they will have to be filled by poorly trained and incompetent teachers
 Indeed it is hard to imagine situation more serous in the possibilities of its effects upon the country!
 And the pubc-not our teachers nor our schooI autborities-is wholly blame for it's existence!

BERGER AGAIN

Yesterdays dispatches indicate that Victor Der ger will again be candidate for membership to Con gress making the the Socialist ticket In such a case unless there has been material change in sentiment in the district wherein the election IS to be held, it is at all unlikely that he will be elected.
 Election, in his case, does not carry with 1t a seat in the national lawmaking body. On two oc- casions he has been Congress by majority of votes his district and each time, he has been denied the right to sit member. In both in stances the rejecting him so overwhelm- ing as to be practically unanimous With his record against him, and conviction for sedtion carrying with it heavy penal sentence yet having been set aside there is much for any be- him if he is returned the third time.
 Whatever may think of him personally, and loyal citizens cannot but condemn his in war time refuse subscribe to his doctrines either in peace or war; still it be admitted that he has held the confidence of the majority of the voters in his district. Only with extraordin- ary personality could have commanded the loyalty which his constituents have shown in him during the last years And may note that quality in him without giving him approval in any way. The things for which he has stood have appeal to the majority Americans. A of the United States has decided his status and until the brand thus placed him has been removed by a showing that has far not been made, few Ameri- cans would to him holding position as a lawmaker for the nation. And so long as the House of Representatives is the judge of the quail fications of it's members there is little reason believe that he will again sit one of them.

the Russia of today to realize what Boshevism has meant to the Russian people, Once of the greatest food producing nations in the world, it is today wracked with famine. Her towns, including the great cities of Petrograd and Moscow are de- populated to one half of their normal size and those who left suffer untold privations. The work men are scattered and destroyed or cowed and de- morazed. Hundreds of thousands of people have been driven to the woods and mountains seeking a precarious existence like England's Robin Hood of centuries ago. The collapse of her railways has undermined the whole of her industrial structure and sunk the economic civilization of those vast regions into total stagnation. Property has become worthless and life burden.
 This is the situation which Lenlne and Trotzky say must come to Poland before their armies will be halted and they satisfied. This is the thing against which even the of Poland are shoul- dering arms and going forth into all the horrors of actual fighting. To them death is preferable to a future containing economic slavery and perhaps worse And while the necessity for such measures brings a realization of Poands desperate straits, the spirit in which they are taken likewise gives assurance that she will be crushed.

POLAND IN DANGER

Associated Press dispatches for several days have brought realization that there is grave dan ger Poland from the forces of Russian Bolsheviki armies. There be little doubt of the seriousness of the military situation there when even the wo- placed in the front lines of defense in last desperate effort stay the invaders
 Unconfrmed reports say Lenine and Trotzky are determined continue the campaign until Bol- sheyist Poland has been established If one may accept as true the majority of reports which come Russia that is equivalent to saying they will cease fighting only when the ruin of the Polish government and people has been completed.
