all of a sudden, he heard a little
voice saying:

"Who are YOU and how are yod

''We are a lot of ants that crawled

Are Our Schools Feminizing America?

Are our schools making women out OF all of us in
intellectual and cultural sense? Such is charged
by Professor Robert E Rogers of "snob" fame, in a
vigorous article in the Pictorial Review.
He declares that our schools are swamped with
women teachers who literally are femnizng America.
The days of the virile schoomaster with his birch
switch or his hickory rod are gone forever The few
men teachers who remain are themselves femnized
products. They have been taught by women
The very fact that they have taken up teaching is
in itself proof of their Termination; so reasons Dr.
Rogers.
On the face of it, the facts seem to support DR..
Rogers thesis. For example the Jersey City State
Normal school announces that there is one male to
300 females in its enrolment this autumn. One rea-
son may be found in the fact that the average pay
of New Jersey school teacher is $4,000 year. This
hardly matches the pay of policeman or fireman.
So why go through high school and then to normal
school for two or three years to become pedagog
in the public schools?
The question whether a woman teacher makes
mental women out of her male students is debatable
though there are undoubtedly certain dangers along
this line But President Mary E. Wooey OF Mt.
Hoyoke college, in answering Professor Rogers in the
Pictorial Review puts her finger on the crux of the
matter.
She contends that it is not the sex distribution
among teachers which counts but the ability of either
a man or woman to teach There are too many
men and women clutterng up our schools who can
not teach their subjects awaken intellectual curos
ty and enthusiasm in their pupils
The monotonous routine and low salaries which
prevail in our schools may account in part for the
inferorty Of our current instruction, even though
our teachers actually may give us more than we pay
them to deliver

their forms so that it becomes i'm
portant to know which of the sugars
is best used by the bod yfor energy
purposes.
The human body has very exact
regulating system for handling
sugar. Whatever is needed for
energy is burned in the tissues. The
remainder is stored in the liver and
in the muscles or else changed into
fat.
During starvation the material
stored up in the liver and in the
muscles is reconverted into the form
which can be used for energy, taken
up by the blood, and used as food.
If starvation continues, some of
the proteins will be converted into
sugar to keep the level Of the sugar

If the level of the sugar falls too
low, the human being becomes I'M

When insulin is given, sugar is

rapidly by giving sugar and insulin
at the same time.

WHY Not Use Facts?

Anv one addressing school teachers ought to have
enough respect for their intelligence to stick to facts
for the base of his argument matter what he may
argue when he has laid fact foundation and leaves
the realm of fact to enter that of opinion
Addressing the New York Teachers Association,
Raymond Robins said:
The whole people of the United States, through
their national government with forty-six states shar
ing in the decision declared the liquor traffic
Shall some one state raise the white flag and refuse
to take its full responsibility toward this WARP"
What are the facts?
The whole people" of the United States never
had a voice or a vote in adopting the eighteenth
amendment
A congress controlled by the professional prohi-
bton organizations submitted the amendment to the
states The legislatures of forty-sx states adopted
the amendment and it went into the Constitution.
This was constitutional to be sure. But not
single state legislature that approved the amendment
had been elected on that issue. In not single state
had the people been given any warning that the
legislature they were eectng would pass prohi-
bton amendment.
The Anti-Saloon League lobby got busy on a
congress that hadn't been elected that issue 1t
got busy when everybody else doing everything
possible and everything the federal administration
asked to help win the war.
Between two and three million citizens were in
Europe as patriotic soldiers sacrificing their health
their opportunities for advancement in life and IN
too many cases giving up their lives, to make the
world safe for democracy, fighting to end war,
and all that sort of thing.
These millions of the whole people never were
consulted and never had voice or vote in putting
over the amendment You can't speak of the whole
people" and leave them out.
Those of the whole people" who remained at
home fired by patriotic fanaticism. we're making
every sacrifice demanded of them, obeying blindly
though willingly all orders from Washington, cutting
down on bread and sugar, buying Liberty bonds and
war savings stamps and contributing to war chests
until it hurt.
But the Anti-Saloon League slackers, who risked
neither life nor limb, busy putting over prohi
bition; and they gained such control over congress
that they compelled a Democratic congress to pass
the vicious volstead act the intelligent veto OF
President Wilson.
And now the whole people paying awful
price for what the Stacker professional prohibi-
tionists did to them when they were hypnotized by
prtriotism.

Not a Pretty Picture

America is making very bad showing at the
preparatory disarmament commission sessions in
Geneva.
First we stood out against Other nations in refus
ing to consider limitation of naval expenditures. We
Of course have the largest armament budget in the
wor,d-Prcsident Hoover admits that.
Now We are standing alone in trying to block re-
ducton OF the limit in the size of capital ships This
obsruconist policy is in line with refusal at the
London conference earlier in the year to scrap battle
ships There can be no justification for this policy,
since the issue of parity is in no way involved; ii
batIeshps were scrapped their size reduced by all
that would not change the comparative strength OF our
navy in relation to the British and other navies.
The American position of refusing in first one way
and then another to go along with the other nations
seeking arms reduction would not seem so hateful to
the rest Of the world if we not forever boastmg
Of our alleged peace leadership.

$500 Dead

Slowly the specter Of death is being fought back
in the dark pits into which men descend to mine
for coal
But the gains came very slowly.
The bureau Of mines in its annual report says
that the practice Of rock-dusting coal mines to pre-
vent explosions continues to gain ground
But at the same time it reports that death still
claims some 1900 miners year and tries to claim
100000 others, who escape with injuries.
The gains come slowly because they are dependent
upon voluntary action of coal mine owners No fed
eral law and few state laws compel introduction OF
safety methods in the mines.
The United States bureau Of mines investigates
to find how accidents are caused and how they may
be prevented. and it makes recommendations but
there its function ends.
It is only when mine owners decide to go to the
moderate expense of busting their properties
10 use none but permissible explosives, to use only
safety lamps and other safe equipment that ex-
posions forestaled
Until every mine owner puts human life hrst
among his assets death will ride the descending hoist
with each shift OF men, will hide in every drift and
cross cut, viii reach cold fingers from every shat.

Hard Times, But

When We feel low in minds about the state
of the nation IN general and about business condi-
tions in particular. it cheers to remember that
Never before have leaders of industry, social
workers and politicians tackled an economic crisis
with so much intelligence and prepared so far in adj
vance for hard winter.
Never before have people generally done so much
intelligent thinking about the causes of an economic
depression and planning toward preventing recur-
renee of hard times
Never before have industrial leaders so generally
conceded that fewer hours of labor without reduc-
ton in wages is the most logical remedy for these
conditions.

Weather CensOrs

Are we to have weather censor, too9
Last Saturday morning tornadoes struck in parts
Of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. The
United States weather bureau foresaw these tornadoes
but made no prediction of them.
This says Science Service, lis in accord with a
rule Of the bureaus that such storms shall not be
predicted because Of the unnecessary alarm that thus
would be caused to a large number of people"
The bureau further explains that since it is i'm
possbls say in what spot the tornado will hit and
because this spot usually is very small it feels that
TO predict them would trouble by the un-
justified anxiety aroused than likely to be done by
a tornado itself"
But who knows whether predictions might not have
saved lives, saved property?
Certainly a great deal Of worry is better than a
funeral

terms with people regardless of
whether they followed our political
practices or worshipped at the
same shrine.

these may become less with the adj

Yet even now certain more or less
monotonous tasks exist which can

we know that every great city is
crowded with amateur gardeners
eager to get on the land and wrestle
with it.

establish occupationa1 exchanges
