Why Not Subsidies?
CFrom the New York Tribune)

When President Wilson was con-
sidering means to re-create the
American merchant marine he pass
ed over direct aid TO privately-o
ed vessels IN favor of government
ownership and operation. why did
he adopt the clumsier, more pater-
nalistlc and costlier method? He
told us by in his address to Con-
gress on December 8, 1914, when
he said.
The case is not unlike that
whicn confronted us when our
own continent was to be opened up
to settlement and industry, and
we needed long lines of railway,

look back on that with regret now
because the subsidies led to many
Scandals OF which we were asham-

course, build them, but in another

Hating Diplomacy
(From the Washington Post).

More than century ago Napoleon
had little difficulty in defeating the
Austrian armies in the field. The
reason for this was the fatal slow
ness both OF the Austrian statesmen
and the Austrian military com
maBders. 'L'Autriche," Napoleon
declared, "est toujours en- retard
dune ides, dune aimee on dun
corps d'armee." This fatal slowness
is today characteristic. OF the states
men and diplomatists OF Europe.
Every country Is today IAN idea,
year or an army corps behind the
times" Diplomatic action limps
slowly behind events, finding itself
at every turn confronted by series
OF "faits" acoomplis" which bring its
laboriously buff combinations TO
nought.
A striking example OF this is seen
in the Near East. While the Laus-
anne conference, already half water
logged, is ponderously discussing the
question of the admission or the nom
admission OF the Russian delegation,
events in southeastern Europe are
moving rapidly. While Ismet Pasha
and the representatives of the powers
are debating the future of western
Thrace, 1900 Turkish rebels,
against the authority Of the entente
powers. have taken the field in that
province. They are reported to have

Again the Eastern Question is as

In European affairs. II centers in

Turkey has long been known as

Persia, Grecia, Judea. and others are
Familiar with the Bible words, and
the predictions concerning each have
been accurately fulfilled. More mod
ern nations, like Rome and its ten
divisions, embracing many European
States, are clearly represented by
various symbols. May we not expect
some mention OF Turkey, the strong
hold of a false religion. and an Inn
portant factor in the welfare and
peace of mankind. The modern
name Turkey" is not found in the
Bible. However. prophetic expos
itors are agreed that Mohammedan-
ism, which had its rise in the wastes
OF the Arabian desert. is symbolized
in Rev. by smoke that arose out OF
the bottomless pit; and the rude /
Saracen warriors, by devastating |

THE TRAINED NURSE

From the Ohio state journal.
A trained nurse, It is said, can go
to a strange city. present her Gre
dentials at one of the places where
trained nurses ready to work are
listed and be sure OF a job within
"a hours. She may have work If
she desires It, It is said, for 365 days
a year. going without the loss Of a
working day from one house where
there has been sickness. to another
where It has developed. In other
words. the demand for trained nurses
is widespread and insistent, and
the supply by comparison is ex-
tfemely limited.
It seems rather strange under
these circumstances that not more
girls take the course OF training and
become nurses. The training, we
believe, requires three or four years
of study and apprenticeship in a
hospital, during which time the stu
dents necessary expenses are pro-
vided for in whole or greater part,
and upon her graduation she is fit
ted to earn Sc or 81 a day. From
the material standpoint nursing Of
fers a girl better opportunity than
stenography or most other office
work, and surely there is no more
useful, womanly calling. Trained
nurses get married pretty often, too,
a fact which perhaps accounts in
no small degree for the shortage.

is always honorable to scatter the
light OF truth" Some OF the great
lest and best men of the ages have
been teachers. Many distinguished
men of our State might be mention
ed who began their careers of use
fulness by being instructors of
youth. The opportunity for a high
type OF service has been expressed
by a noted educator, as follows:
THE spirit of service must ever be
the cornerstone of the teaching
craft. Our colleges end universi-
ties are teeming with young people
Just as eager TO serve and sacrifice
as were the college men and wo-
men in 1917 to volunteer by the
thousands to serve their country at
home and overseas. Can not the
present generation be made to ap-
preciste the fact that the greatest
service than can be rendered to the
nation is guiding the interests and
the hearts OF the twenty-one million
children in our public schools?
They are the hope of America. In
their intelligence, in their ideals,
ana in their citizenship lies the fu-
lure OF our repuDnc.
A constant rise in the dualifca-
tions required Of teachers has been
noticeable for many years, but one
is still unable to foretell what stand
ard will finally be fixed as a mini
mum requirement. without doubt
there is need of further raising the
qualifications required OF teachers.
and the old idea that It was sufi-
cient to require high qualifications
only for various holders OF certain
high grade certificates has proved
erroneous. II is clear now that the
lowest grade OF a certificate which
the State provides requires a mini
mum Of education well in advance
Of the elementary school subjects.
High school graduation with two
years professional training would
certainly would seem too high a
standard for the teacher Of the ele-
mentary school.
The State Of Delaware can make |
no better investment than when she |
protects her youth by housing them
in well-lighted, well-ventilated and
properly heated buildings. II the |
parents could enter some of the |
schools late I'm the morning or after |
noon when the fetid atmosphere is
so unpleasant. they would be sur
prised but little that their boy or
girl looked pale or seemed less ami
mate than usual when at home. It
is lack OF information on the part
OF the parents that is hindering the
building OF better schools.

The Teacher and the School
BY W. II. JUMP,
Assistant State Superintendent Public Instruction

It has been alleged, and with
much justice, that the calling to the
teaching profession, which demands
for its successful exercise the best
Of talents. persevering energy, and
large share of self-denial. has
never attained an appreciation in
the public mind commensurate with
its Importance. IL has by no means
received the emoluments, either in
money or honor, which strict jus
| tice would award It In any other
department to the talents and exer-
tions required in teaching. Happily,
however, the people OF our State
have shown signs of an awakening,
and, as the teachers become better
prepared and the public better in
formed, a more Just and equitable
basis Is being established.
AS a rule, people are capable Of
recognizing a good teacher and are
not slow TO believe that the labor
er is worthy of his hire" The
teacher who is ready to devote her
heart and soul to her work is much
in demand and can often influence
her compensation very materially.
The chief reward OF the teacher
is not mere money-getting. Usually
she has a moro elevating and in
spired method and goes cheerfully
about her daily toll, finding enjoy
ment in its routine. The teacher
has a great opportunity for intellec-
tual growth. The faithful, devoted
teacher always aearns more than
her pupils. She cannot help but
grow mentally. She comes before
her class each day with an increased
wealth OF knowledge and a variety
of ideas for illustration, feeling that
she can present the various subjects
in manner adopted TO the COM
prehension of her pupils. This con-
sciousness Of power is part Of herl
reward. The teacher has a great IN
centive for moral growth. She rec /
ognizes that example is better than
precept and feels the need Of con-
stantly keeping a watch over her
own thoughts and actions. The
Of improvement In the
art of teaching is another reward.
AS her own knowledge increases the
teacher feels a new interest in the |
various subjects. and is filed with |
a desire to interest," others. she /
studies carefully to use the proper !
methods and incentives and em-
ploys her ingenuity TO discover the /
natural order OF presenting truths
TO the mind.
The very usefulness Of the teach
er's calling makes it honorable. at =
