ssns tms. sams Of the changes maze by the war have
bsen permanent. Others are Temporary in character,
marking the period Of readjpstment. Heeklessness char
acterased the war period. Prudence must mark the new
era. Business in some lines IL still stasnsnt because. re-
adjustment in allied lines has not kept pace with the needs
Of the time. Building, for instance, has been at . stand
still because the cost wa greater than most people dared
TO undertake. Lumber prices have been reduced matas

struction. NANd II all the other items such a. plumbing
and heating, labor, paints, hardware etc. were to remain
stable. people would still hsstAte to build, even II the
lumber we're donated.
It Is beeause Of lack Of uniformity in cost reductions
that many plants have bean standing idle. No matter
now low prices might be made in those Particular lines.
the goods would not move because Of high prices in asso.
ciated lines. -
These things are being adjusted. The scale of costs
In every line must be reduced, and the reduction must
spread over the whole field. Where this has MOI been
done the change will be forced upon the unwilling ones.
In the meantime, We cannot wait for the millennium.
reductions have been made in the cost Of
most Of the ordinary articles of consumption. In some
Iinss prices are actunlfy below pre-war prices. In other
cases those prices haX been Appropriated. It costs very
materially less to live, to build, to do business than 1t did
4 year ago. We must KEEP moving: therefore it is good
policy for every individual to help to make business, not

AVIATION.

the navigation Of the ait. is in itself necessarily dangerous,
for under proper conditions It has already become about
as safe Is most other methods Of locornotion. But tly-
is will be adventurous SO lons as there are sull strange
regions to explore, and that condition will last for some
time.
The stop herGAf H. L. Larsen and his companions on
their journey from Dayton, Ohio, to the far Canadian
northwest has brought forcibly to the sttention Of local
people s~oenethins Of the real meaning Of the navigation Of

SCHOOL PRORLEAA6.

In the paper which he read at the FortniGhtty club
on Monday night Superintendent stebbtns directed atten-
ton in . very forceful way to several Of the problems
which are giving great concern just now to those who are
engaged in educational work, and also to those Of the
general public Who are thinking construetively about edu-
cation.
The three specific subjects viii which Mr.. stsbbins
dealt are the teaching force. retardation, and school build
inEs and equipment.
Of these three the teaching personnel IL by far the
more important. Under the guidance Of q good teacher
the child will receive good training in spite Of unfavorabls
physical conditions, and such a teacher will remove or
minimize many Of the pefplexins problems which now
present themselves. But with a teacher untitled tor the
real work of training youth. buildings. equipment, and
elaborate plans for dealing with the problem OF retarda-
ton will represent, very largely, 80 much waste money
and effort.

ton of Garfield's ideal Of 4 c~olless-~a lot, with Mark

In that picturesque form is vital today, ~ it has always
been. The teacher makes the school. Other things are
important, but secondary.
The criticism of our minimum wage isSislation tor
teachers 10 sound. The wage Tor beginners Is fixed too
high and there is not sufficient prospect of advancement
to make the profession attractive ~ 4 permanent work.
The inevitable tendency Of this legislation will be to pro.
ject into the work Of teaching 4 flock Of inexperienced
boys and. girls. thsmselves just GU, Of school, who will be
attracted BY wages much higher than they can obtain
in any other occupation, Then, when the Possibilities Of
teaching as . temporary expedient have been exhausted,
these youngsters will drop out, to make room for others
equally inexperienced.
There is not likely to be much real Improvement until

expects to pay for good service in any of the other learned
professions.

THE SIESIAN o T

The vote taken on Sunday to determine whether:
Upper slssia shall! be a part of Germany or of Poland
resulted in an overwhelming majority in favor Of the
German connection. In a total vote OF a little over
l 100000. the vote stood more than two to one in favor
of Germany.
The making over Of the map of Europe has not been
an easy task. Everything was thrown into confusion
by the war, and it was necessary for the victors in that
struggle to assume responsibility for the RESTORATION of
order. The great powers which has supplied most Of
tbs man power and practically ali Of the capital for the
prosecution Of the Allied caznaigns would have shown
criminal negligence or Gross incompetence had they
simply retired when the German armies were beaten and
permitted matters to take their course without further
effort On their part. Defeated Germany would speedily
have become dominant Germany again, and everything
that had been sacrificed in the war would have been
wasteA.
was never any question, for instance, az to the future Of
Alsaee Lorraine. That territory was obviously a part
Of France. and to France it must be returned. Neither
was there any question that the Polish nation should be
rsoonstituted. Political e~xpsdency' and the rights Of sev-
oral million people alike demanded this, and the Allies
were pledged to this policy from the beginning.
But In the delimitation Of boundaries complicated
questions arose. There were bits Of territory here and
there concerning whose disposition definite decisions
could not we'll be made by the Allied council. } In such
cases tho decisions were left to the inhabitants them
selves. The case OF schlesv1E was decided by 4 popular
vote, and in accordance with that vote a part Of the ter.
ritory in question went to Denmark and a part remained
attached to Germany. Generally that decision has been
accepted as satasfactosy.
A similar plebiscite has been taken to determine tho
future Of . section Of etle%a. with the result just stated.
Apparently the methods wiS fair, ana unless It 10 shown
that the vote does not reprssent the real will Of the YsSt.
dents Of the territory vho had a right to be consulted, the
decision should stand, and as the Allies would assuredly
have enforced tho decision had It hssu against Germany
and had Germany resisted it, It il obvious that any At
tempt on the part % Poland to prevent the excursion Of
the popular mandate must be opposed by them.
The attitude Of Germany in this case has been IN.
reasonable. Having asseuted TO the plans made tor ths

Plains States Average
Greatest in Crop Risks

Risks in the production of three
great staple crops-corn, wheat, and
oats-are greatest in the Plains
states extending from Texas to North
Dakota. This general fact is estab-
lished by the average deviation OF
the yield per acre from the average
yield, computed"by the Bureau of
Crop Estimates, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, for these
three crops for each State from the
records of so years.
On the other hand, the North At

Sions of comparatively low risk. or
