100000 children were deprived of
schooling last year as direct result
of the shortage of teachers, according
to estimates by P P. Claxton, federal
commissioner of education, in his an

tion is seen by the educator, who add
ed that while from 10000 to possibly
10000 new teachers would be needed
during the coming year, 1--WE shall
have at the outside 10000 prepared
teachers to fill the vacancies, or a de-
fcit of at least 80,00O"
Of even greater moment than the
actual shortage, the report said, is

MOONEY'S RELEASE

With the new disclosures of the per-
jury in the Tom Mooney case, a new
and important chapter in the Mooney
case has been written. 1t is organiz-
ed labor's duty to demand Moneys
release 1t is only through the infiu-
ence Of an organization with such re-
cognized power as organized labor
possesses that this case is going to get
further recognition from the political
officials of San Francisco and Cali
fornia. With the new disclosures
things look brighter for Mooney now
than they have at any time. 1t must
not be forgotten, however, that the
forces of greed and graft of Califrnia
are by no means defeated. Publicity
must be given, and the strongest eff
fort of all labor bodies, official as
well as individual members, pushed to
the limit to force the officials of San
Francisco and California to give just
ice to Mooney and Billings.
Resolutions should be sent to the
following: Governor William D.
Stephens, Sacramento, CAL; Mayor
James Rolph, Jr., San Francisco, CAL;
Hiram Johnson, U. S. Senator, Wash

Commissioner, San Francisco, Cal.

WHAT SHOULD LABOR
RECEIVE?

To hear employers and economists
talk about wages and the amount the
worker is entitled to, one would think
that those who produce the material
things that make human life possible
should receive only just enough to sub
sist on. Every time the workers seek
an increase, employers proceed to
show that the workers are. getting
as much as they did in years gone by,
and are therefore not entitled to any
increase. The position taken by the
employing class is that the workers
should not share in the increase in
productiveness of labor; and it makes
no difference if labor mutiplies it's
productive powers many fold, it should
be scrapped when it declines in eff
cheney We wish to announce that the
day has passed when it declines in
efficiency. We wish to announce that
the day has passed when the working
people are going to submit to any such
basis of calculation. They insist on an
equitable division of every increase,
arising from the advance and i'm
provement in the instruments of pro-
duction. This is the surest way to
eliminate the hovel and the mansion
from the midst of civilization.

HE oNE-MAN CAR MENACE


A short time ago there was some
talk Of one-man cars FOR Hamilton
and some of our officials were taken
over into Indianan for the purpose of
viewing the performances Of some Of
these freaks" Some of the local
people became very enthusiastic over
the cars, but with others they didn't
"take." Occasionally one hears of the
system being installed in some out-of-
the-way village, but nowhere do they
receive serious consideration from
live cities. The following article
taken from the Fort Wayne Worker,
and which appeared under the above
caption, we believe might prove OF
some interest to our local people. 1t
says:
Kansas City has just had taste
OF what undoubtedly is coming to Fort
Wayne some of these days. One of the
one-man cars got out of control and
was demolished and every person in
the car was either killed or injured.
Five persons are known to have been
killed, but the injured list is not OBJ
tainable. The injured and killed were
rushed away to the hospital and un-
dertaking parlors with such speed that
the newspapers of that city were un-
able to trace the exact number.
"The car got out of control on a
grade, struck switch and was de-
molished. The motorman stuck to his
post, but the passengers were unable
to get ont and were either killed or
injured.

RENT HOGS

It seems that the rent gougers
don't know yet that the war is over,
and think that the blood-suckfng is to
continue forever. Cases come to hand
right along where old tenants rents
continue on the rise. 1t just seems
to have become habitual with some
unscrupulous landlords to raise the
rent every time the tenant goes to
pay. We know of one case in partic-
ular on Dayton street, an old four
room house with what is known as a
summer kitchen attached, q house with
no modern conveniences whatever aud
which the landlord was glad to get
s13 month for before the war, has
increased in price from time to time
until two months ago it reached the
sum Of $50 per month. Another case
on Market street that gradually in
creased to S65 and finally last month
the tenant was notified that his rent
in the future would be 800 per month.
During all the time in which the rents
were increased no improvements have
been made on these two houses and
the taxes have increased very little.
In all decency then, what right have
owners Of the buildings to increase
rents so enormously? And there are
hundreds of instances OF the same
kind throughout the city A survey
of the rented houses in the city would
no doubt bring to light many interest
ing instances of the kind above men
toned, and if published would bring
forth some mighty unpleasant publ
city-for some. Such publicity too,
would no doubt bring forth the fact,
as Luke McLuke says: "That some
people who go to church on Sunday
and pray, "prey" all the rest of the
week. Isn't there some way in which
these "leeches" can be reached and
held down? They are being gone
after in other cities; why not here?

 Germany, It would seem, was bent up- on throwing cloak of protection around those who were directly responsible for the deplorable conditions. This is indi- cated when 1t is found that subordihates are making the plea that they only re- sponded to orders. It can be believed that such was the case, but that is req son enough why there should be efforts made to bring in and prosecute those higher up those who gave the orders for the acts that were committed by subor- dinates Only by such action can it be expected that justice will be done and that those who were responsible for the brutality that was displayed will be pun ished. It becomes nothing but a joke when the subordinates are given sem tences before courts, and such sentences are light ones because the responsibility is placed elsewhere, and the ones who were guilty more than the rest are not brought to justice.

These activities all require keen oberval tion and intelligence in execution. Doll play brinNs in most of the factors of intellect which are required in caring for little child in real life. Of course, the more the child has to do for her doll, the better it will be for her intellect ual development. A doll which the child does nothing for but look at, rock to sleep, or carry in her arms. is of slight value compared with one that must be dressed and undressed, have her hair combed, her nails polished, for whom clothes must be made, and so on.
 As the child's range of observation increase doll play ought to become more varied and educative. A child who is given a suggestion now and again will readily develop high degree of imaginative feeling with regard to dolls, all of which may be vastly inn portant for intellectual development. Suppose a child has five or six dolls of different sies and appearance. Each one may be made to personify member of the family or some per son in the neighborhood; or a charac- ter in history or in some story which she has heard. Then these characters
 may be made to act their parts in l little drama. There is no experience l in human life which is more Absorb | Ing Indn IneSe pldyS 0TdIBdllCS III cdEfy | childhood; and it must be impressed | that in this play the child is simply taking mental possession of the world around him. If he did not dramatize | life, he would not learn it.
 1 An. observing parent must have noted his child's passion to play Q part. Every living thing he sees furn- ishes model for personification. Now he is a cat, now dog, now one of his playmates, and so on ad libitun. Do you see what this means for develop
 ment ? Suppose, for instance, that a child five years of age visits a black | smith. When he comes home you may find him shoeing horses all the time. Anything will answer for the horse. All the child is concerned with
 is the shoeing. In performing this
 activity he. is really learning about it.
 What an advantage it would be to
 your child if he could utilize the ob- ject in his home so far as possible
 to carry on his limitations. Perha ps
 you have looked upon these play ac- tivities only as an annoyance, and
 have felt that they should be sup
 pressed. But greater harm coulc
 scarcely be done a child than to pre-
 vent him from initiating and personi
 flying the people and things abou
 him.
