WHY
Do Some Objects Give OFF Odorss

The sensation which we charac-
terize as smell is, in reality, a
tickling or irritation of certain
nerves in the nose, nerves which are
extremely sensitive to the gas or
disturbance or. vibration given off
by certain objects-for the precise
nature of an "odor" is something
which science, in spite of its many
discoveries, has yet to solve. Two
things arc therefore necessary TO
produce Smell" A gas (for want
OF a better name) given off by the
object itself. and the ability of this
gas to register on the nerves OF the
nose.
lust as some persons can see bet
ter than others, some have the sense
of smell developed to a particularly
high degree, and for this reason, it
is difficult to say that some things
have no. smell at all" The odot
:nay not be apparent to us, out there
might be others who would recog-
nize it at once. The highly special
ICED nostrils of dogs and other four
footed animals are excellent ex-
amples of this, while there are some
birds-notably canaries-wtich can
detect odor which human nerves OF
smell would never note.
This difference in the amount of
gas" given off by objects is what
leads us to the conclusion that some
things are quite odorous while 9th
ers apparently have no smell az all,
while it is really nothing more than
our own inability to recognize the
odor or to separate it from :he 9TH
ers which are constantly around us.

Britain and France Agree
On German Disarmament

Paris, Jan. 6.-Great Britain and
France are in close accord relative
to the subject of German disarma
ment and reparations, says the Lon
don correspondent of the Matin in
discussing the meeting of allied pre-
miers to be held here January 10
He adds the British cabinet still
favors granting Germany some time
in which to bring about the dis
bandment of civil guards, but has
taken the attitude that the allies
should demand immediate delivery
OF all secret processes for the manu-
facture of explosives and poison gas.

! Where 1t Started
Divorce.

The most primitive people held
that a husband could repudiate his
wife at will. This was gradually
modified, till separations could be
obtained for cause. The hearing OF
cases came to be a function OF the
courts, and laws grew and adapted
themselves till special code OF di-
vorce laws was framed, with spe-
cial court to handle the cases. In
England. in 1857, the. first real di-
vorce court was established by act

THE RURAL SCHOOL PROBLEM
{ Miami Herald.l

The great problem of the rural schools of the
United States consists CT two scctions One. Sc
curing teachers; the other holding them. The
normal schools, which constitute the main source
whence rural dtricts secure their teachers, are
falling off greatly in attendance. Young men and
women are attending business schools now where,
in the past, they entered normal schools with the
purpose of becoming teachers.
The supply of teachers for rural schools has
fallen off to such extent that superintendent
have been forced TO employ those who have had
no more than high school education and no
training or experience whatsoever Some of these
teachers have done good work. but the majority,
because of their youth and inexperience, have
been unsatisfactory.
Another cause of the scarcity Of rural school
teachers is that soon a young teacher dis
covers that she is meeting with success she i'm
mediately seeks employment in town city where
social opportunities are greater and where sal
aries more in keeping with expenses.
And again, superintendent of schools in cities,
in order to replace losses in their teaching staff,
caused by the inducemont OF higher salaries held
ont by business houses to teachers, many of whom
have retired from their profession to enter upon
industrial pursuits, scour the country districts
and carry away the best material.
The state of Maine is striving to remedy this
trouble The Legislature has given superntend-
ents the privilege of placing one hundred rural
teachers in special training schools every year.
These schools free to the teachers, the state
paying all expenses of tuition, board and rail
road fares. The subjects studied the
sentials to the Improvement of rural conditions,
including agricultural economics. community by
giene, leadership in Local Improvements and gen
eral control over rural environments.
Teachers to be eligible to entrance in these
schools must have reached the age of twenty-one,
have graduated from normal school or its
equivalent and have mad two years of successful
teaching. The intention of the law is good but
il does not reach of the basic troubles of the
inefficient teacher; the high school girl entering
upon the profession of teaching without the ne
cessary training. The requirement that teach
entering these special training schools shall
be graduates of a normal school or its equivalent,
keeps the insuficenty schooled teacher from par
taking of its advantages.
What is necessary is that the lot of the rural
school TEACHER shall be made favorable that
many VIII seek it and few will care to give il up

EASY DIVORCES

There are SIX counties in the Untes States in
which the number Of divorces last year exceeded
the number of marriages. From 1911 to 1920.
inclusive the number of divorces granted in the
United States was l,l49.69o. Generally speak
ing tho west leads the rest of the country in the
world of segregatng homes but the southern states
rank high, Oklahoma SIXTH Texas eleventh, Ar
kansas fourteenth, and Florida, with less than the
average of the whole country. ranks tsenty-6fth
What do these figures signify? A hundred an
swcrs might be given and as many plausible the
cries advanced; but the fact that seems to come
closer TO solution than anything else is that mar
riagc itself is too easy.
1t is entered upon too lightly. The knowledge
that divorces may be chcaply obtained if dis
appointment results, leads the parties to take
chances. The fact that there arc many agencies
working for the promotion Of mairimony-that the
players loose notions regarding the sanctity of the
marriage tie-all combine 10 rush giddy youth into
matrimonial tolls from which they would be saved
if more time were given for deibcration.
Divorces, eforc. are not 10 be regarded so
much as an evil in themselves as the indication of
an evil existing deep in our social system. They
constitute symptom rather than the disease il
self. Laws, except perhaps statutes requiring de-
lay in performing the ceremony to head of hasty
impulses, can do little good. The social condi-
ton indicated by the frequency of divorces, must
be considered in The home, the church, and whcr-
ever moral sentiment is moulded The remedy is
moral rather than legal
