 RAILWAYS USE PROPAGANDA

900 section and unskilled laborers, and 376,OOO in 1920, and increase of "A per cent. The wages paid them in 1917 totaled $22O,000,000, while in 1920 the amount had in- creased to s476,OOO,OoO, or 112 per ce nt."
 In another circular, the executives claim that "as a result of one retro active decision concerning the status of three men who operate acetylene torches in cutting up scrap, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail- road was compelled to pay the sum of $6,421.44 in additional compen- sation and back pay. The employees claimed that under the terms of the National Agreement, men using acetylene torches to cut up mater ial at the scrap dock were entitled to the same wages as carmen en- gagged in dismantling wrecked cars and locomotives. Material on which the men worked had already been dismantled. It was scrap when re- ceived at the dock. Their duties consisted in cutting apart the differ ent materials for the purpose of sorting scrap, an operation entirely different from dismantling cars or locomotives. The mere fact that some of the scrap came originally from cars did not carry the carmen's rate for those cutting it up."

ENROLMENT AT NORMAL IN
CREASES

The 1921 Summer School Session
opened Tuesday, May 31st, with what
promises to be the largest enrolment
the school has ever had. The strong
demand for teachers, and the in
creased salaries are attracting large
numbers of desirable young people,
nearly all of college rank to the Nor
NAL School. Last year, the total en-
rollment reached COZ; this year at the
end of the first week the enrolment
had reached 7O3. A large number
are expected to enroll at the begin
ming of the second week since many
of the town schools throughout the
state are late in letting out. It is
estimated that the total enrolment
viii reach nearly a thousand.
The housing facilities for the stu
dents are more satisfactory this year
and the students are having but little
trouble in securing desirable rooms.
Nearly a hundred Catholic Sisters
have enrolled for the term including
three different orders, the Sisters of
St. Agnes, the Sisters of st. Joseph,
and the Sisters of the Sacred Blood.
An interesting phase in the summer
school enrolment is the high percent
age of college students. An actual
classification of those now enrolled
shows over 900 to be of college rank.
Three fifths of the entire student
body are college freshmen, most of
whom are working for one or three
year state certificates.
This summers student body comes
from sixty-nine different counties, the
heaviest enrolment coming from
Ellis. Cloud, Rocks, Rush, Russell,
Dickinson. Lincoln, Jewell, Osborne,
Mitchell and Ellsworth counties. The

Our Free Trade friends, when dis
cussing Tariff legislation, fail to refer
to the competition which we must ex-
pect from Germany, but wall about
the huge indebtedness owed by the
allied governments and urge a lower
ing of the Tariff for their benefit.
They forget that the policy of the
United States is to have a uniform
Tariff, applicable to the products of
all nations alike, and that we must
legislate accordingly. Prior to the
war, Germany was, next to Great
Britain, our most formidable Compel
itor. Germany is still to be reckoned
with, not only in our own markets,
but in our export trade.-American

Potency of Language

Spain was thrown out of South
America. Her governors were butch
cred, her soldiers were filed with
lead. But she is stronger in South
American sentiment, and is growing
stronger in trade than any other
country. The reason for it probably
is the binding quality of a common
language 1t has been declared that
if Charlemagne had forced the use. of
one tongue on the people of his wide
spread dominions, his empire would
not have fallen apart, such terrible
crises as the World war could not
have come about. We like to feel in
this country that there is a merit in
liberation toward the use of many
languages. But there exists ample
justification in the book of exper-
fence for compelling, not simply
pleading for, the use of English even
to the complete exclusion of all other
tongues.
