difference in the attitude toward
the boys in the service. then and

shouts for economy; but untold mil
lions can be expended in other di-
rections without a word OF protest
from our legislators. Secretary
DENLY and his friends are even now
enjoying a joy-ride at government
expense in the Orient; sppropris-
tions are being daily made for all

to giving the boys who fought for
US a little financial aid. that is =
horse of another color. We ought
TO remember that the boys who

those who were killed: there Is
nothing too much to be done for

a YOUNG man recently graduated from a

mo. What has that got to do with teach
ing it,"
We must admit that this young mans con-
tempt for the teaching profession is justified in
great many instances He revives question that
is timely at the start of the school year In order
20 be worth WHILE colleges must have the right
s|,.t Of teachers.
There three sorts OF men on the average
facu.ty--men who know nothing about the sub
ects they pretend to teach but are able to create
contrary impression through personality, audacity
and ability as actors; men who know all about
their subjects but unable to convince anyone
else OF the fact, and men who know both their
subject matter and how to teach. The last class
unfortunately is rather rare.
1t IS encouraging to note, however, that it is
becoming harder and harder for the buffer or the
pedant to retain collegiate position. Eventually
colleges will demand both skill at teaching and
earning Of their instructors.

today It is about $1,000 to $1,000 to

spect Germany could master her

How Save Lives.

W/oRKMEN have been engaged for the past
w few days in repairing gas main around
thomas Circle. The work has necessitated an cx-
cavaton in the middle of the street which extends
nearly around the park space. Dirt is piled up in
almost the same positions taken by the platforms
at Scott Circle.
The result has been that residents of the vicin-
'ty have been able to cross the circle without fear
OF sudden death overtaking them at a time when
they have not sufficient funds to pay undertaking
expenses. They will have reason to regret the
completion Of the present repairs Now they can

The message is expected to be de-

OF the pending merchant marine bill,
as 1t has been asserted at the White
House that the presidents desire to
have action on this measure expedit-
ed was the main reason for calling
Congress in session two weeks in ad-
vance Of the regular meeting. Other
legislation may be touched upon, by
the executive but it Is generally be-
lieved that presentation Of detailed
views on other subjects than the
merchant marine bill will await the
