INJURIES HAVE SET VALUE
Recompense for Loss of Hands or
Fingers Not Matter for Debate
in Europe.


According to a scale of value fur
nished by the miners unions and min
ers' accident insurance companies of
European country. the loss OF both
hands Is valued at 100 per cent of the
ability to earn living. Losing the
right hand depreciates the value of an
individual as a worker 20 or so per
cent, while the loss of the left hand
represents. from 60 to 10 per cent of
the earnings of both hands. The
thumb Is reckoned to be worth from
20 to 80 per cent of the earnings. The
first finger of the right hand is valued
at from IA to Is per cent, that of
the left hand at from 8 to 1872 per
cent. The middle finger is worth from
10 to 16 per cent. The third finger
stands least of all in value, although,
like other useless members of the
community it is surrounded by riches,
its value is only from to 8 per cent.
The little finger is worth frCm 8 to
u per cent. The difference in the
percentages is occasioned by the diff
ference in the trade; the first finger
being, for instance, more valuable to
a writer than digger.

President Harding Proclaims
American Education Week.
NAMES DECEMBER q TO 10
Proclamation Urges Governors and
Other Citizens of Various States
to Give Problem Special and
Thoughtful Attention.

Washington, Nov. 80. - President
Harding issued a proclamation desig-
mating next week as american edu-
cation week."
The text of the proclamation fol-
lows:
Whereas public education is the
basis of citizenship and is of primary
Importance to the welfare OF the ma
ton, and
Whereas, idore than 100000 boys
and girls in America are not ayailing
themselves of our free school advan-
tages and are lacking in that youthful
schooling which is SO essential to the
making of an Intelligent citizenship,
and
Future Depends on Education.
Whereas the experiences of the
war revealed vast elements of popu-
lation that are illiterate, physically
unfit or unfamiliar with American
ideals and traditions; and our future
strength and security are much de-
pendent on their education and com
Therefore, l, Warren G. Harding,
President of the United States do
urge the governors of the various
states and territories to set apart De-
cember 4 to 10, inclusive. 1921 as
American education week, during
which citizens in every state are urged
to give special and thoughtful atten-
ton to the needs and the aims Of the
public schools.
1T is particularly recommended
that efforts be addressed to a practi-
cal expression of community interest
in public education.
ITO that end organizations for civic
advancement and social betterment
are earnestly requested, when it can
be made practicable to provide pro-
grams which viii inform the people re-
garding shortcomings and deficiencies
in present facilities, and bring to their
attention specific, constructive meth
DDS by which, in the respective com
munities, these deficiencies may be
supplied.
Asks Earnest Effort.
THE subject of public education
has always been very close to the
American heart, and to the fact that
it has been made a chief responsible
ity of local governmental units we
largely owe the wide diffusion of edu-
cation facilities.
1T is believed that a widespread
and earnest effort at observance Of
education week would do much to en-
phasize this feeling of immediate re-
sponsibility.
Therefore, it is suggested that the
pulpit, press, schools and public gath
erings be enlisted in behalf of this spe-
eial effort"

MRS, RE|NHARI MAKES STRONG

Normal schools for teachers, colleges

tendance. The fact OF such recognition
should give the right and courage to
utilize the opportunity now here"
"A danger to the profession today is
that of lowering our own personal
standards. Teaching is not teaching
which results only in facts conveyed.
The teacher is to SOW to the spirit, he
inner life must feel each teachers self,
for therein is the bread of life.
Teaching is to cause to dawn upon

Another danger is lack of love for

teacher say TO pupils. 'skiddoo, twenty

We are in danger of a modern Tower

Central Auditorium was we'll filled

morning, by Principal d. X. Duntof1.
III. G. Still1nan sang solo and was

Mills College of California, was intro

Teacher" She looks almost too young
to be college president.
sThe profession of a teacher. what
does it mean?" was her starting point.
A teacher should be one who is kept
iii remembrance, as one who inspired
and spurred us, not so much in facts
he or she aided lis to learn, as iV1e
spirit she helped us to iinbibe. That
was the underlying theme. What is
the Teaching profession in its funda-
mentals; what has it become histori-
cally, and what are some of the dam
gers it must meet" We're the points on
which she built an address that will
be hard to forget.
There are 100000 teachers today in
this country" she said. Some are too
young Gin the minds of some school
boards) some are too temporary, and
that comes from the idea of teaching
as "a refuge rather than as a career.
But the big asset for "a teacher is ex-
work a teacher is engaged in artistry,
Just as truly as a sculptor or a painter.
She is framing and forming souls as
they should be formed.
THE teaching profession exhibits in
its history "a great faith and energy to
push on TO rising ideals From the
earliest schools in Massachusetts, when
the people declared that learning
should not die out and children should
be taught the laws of Cod from such
pioneers to the experience of today, the
leaders of the state have had such high
purpose that when changes in eco
nomic life made necessary changes in
the teaching force, they were not fear
ing to make the change. Until the
Civil war, most teachers were men,
but as has often happened when a war
assailed a country, the women had to
come in to take the place of men. There
were but few women teachers before
that war: since then they have been
