Millions more have had
their school year shortened
by boards of education seek
ing desperately, but vainly,
for the cash to pay teachers
salaries and keep school
houses in repair, information
obtained from Mr.. Zook
showed.
When the school season opened
this fall, about 1000 rural school
houses had their doors boarded.
zook said. AS the season progressed
many more schools were abandoned.
Others took long vacations, some
began charging tuition, which the
poorer students could not afford,
and many curtailed their teaching
StaffS by dropping important parts
of their curriculum.
ZOok Fears Effects
Zook fears that the educational
catastrophe has reached such pro-
portions that its effects will be felt
upon the country for a generation.
Loss of year or of two years
schooling by 14-year-old boy, fol-
instance, affects him the rest of
his life. he said. In 80 per cent of
the cases it is estimated that he
will forget his education. seek a
job and thus rob himself of a
chance for success. Even should
he return to the classroom. once it
opens again, he will be behind the
boy whose education proceeded
without interruption.
The depression reached the school
later than it did industry or agri-
culture. 1t is wreaking greatest
havoc in the schools after recovery
already has started elsewhere.
Terms Greatly Shortened
Closing outright of thousands Of
schools perhaps is the most sensa-
tional aspect of the situation. Al
most as serious is the fact that
school terms in practically every
great American city are from one
to two months shorter than they
were before the depression. One
state has an average Of forty-four
pupils per teacher. The average for
five states is more than forty.
With more than 100000 registered
teachers out of jobs and thousands
more working without salaries, most
of the rest are receiving pay lower
than the blue eagle minimum for
common day laborers.
Chicago has been most puhlicized
for its failure to pay teachers. One
committed suicide because she was
hungry Others endured untold
hardships. Nearly as bitter have
been the experiences of school
ma'ams in many other cities.
Average pay for rural teacher
this winter is $3.50 year, but $4,000
will receive less than $3.50, while in
at least eighteen states teachers are
being paid in warrants, cashable if
at all at discounts ranging from 5
per cent up.
Salaries in many states have been
reduced 20 to 40 per cent, while
Michigan intends to lower the pay
of her teachers 80 per cent unless
more money, somehow, somewhere,
is forthcoming
Had this crisis been precipitated
upon us as suddenly and dramatical-
ly as in the case of the World war,
or even as in the closing of banks
from one end of the country to the
other last spring, we doubtless
should have been aroused to the
necessity of doing something about
it speedily" said Zook. Like most
other social ills, however, it has
stolen upon us unawares.

social difficulty from which we
shall extricate ourselves only with

Hospital.
Patients receiving medical aid at
the Wheeler City Rescue Mission
amounted to 1882 from July "a to
Dec. l, according to a recent report.
The Rev. H. E. Eberhardt, mis-
sion superintendent, said the medi-
cal department was founded in July
with the intention of preventing the
spread of infectious disease by tram
sients. The department, however,
has gradually assumed the aspect
of a general clinic.
Mr. Eberhardt pointed out that
the mission does not compete with
the city hospital dispensary, but
works with it. Norman R. Booher,
senior student at the Indiana uni
verSity school of medicine, and the
visiting staff of the city hospital
carry on the work.

WHENEVER my mother talks
w about her childhood, it is to
tell of something that happened on
her fathers farm. The farm was
near Onarga, Ill, and mother was
born there Feb. /, 1871.
Her parents were Frank and
Frances Catherine Lindsay. She was
their third child and first daughter.
Grandfather was well-to-do farm
er, chiefly of Scotch extraction, and
grandmother was a Woodworking,
efficient housewife of Scotch and
English ancestry.
It was the i'll health mother suf-
fered as child that made her de-
eide later to become doctor-a
decision made in the days when it
took courage for woman to study
and practice medicine.
AS a little girl, she was afflicted
much of the time with malaria, and
I have heard her tell how her father
used to measure out huge doses of
powdered quinine on the end of a
knife, one such dose to be taken
three times daily. How bitter it
must have tasted!
During these days she became so
anemic that she was forced to stay
in bed for days at time. While
other children were at school or
outdoors playing, mother learned to
read. Grandmother would tell her
the words and their meanings.
Because of her i'll health, mother
did not go to school until she was 9.
Then she entered the Del Ray
school. She had unusual knowledge
of reading, but was unable to spell,
write or do number work"
ON her second day at school, the
~ 9-year-old girl was called upon
to read She arose from her seat
and, in a full, clear voice, read from
her primer:
Give me three grains of corn,
mother, only three grains of corn.
ITO keep the little life I have till
the coming of the morn"
No sooner were the words out

STATE FIGHTS
MOONEY TRIAL
Forces April IS Hearing for
Ruling From Court on
Double Jeopardy.
By I nited Press

By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, April 8. -
Hearing on whether trial of Tom
Mooney on murder charges April
26 would constitute double jeopardy
for Mooney was set for April Is
Friday by Superior Judge Louis
Ward.
Ward ordered the April 26 trial
when MONEYS attorneys demand
ed that the prisoner be tried on a
sixteen-year-old indictment charg-
ing him with the Preparedness day
bombing of July %, 1916. Mooney
is already serving life sentence on
conviction of the crime.
Judge Ward set the double jeo-
pardy hearing when John OGara,
former assistant district attorney
declared the new trial would be a
waste of public money, as the pris-
oner could plead double jeopardy
and escape sentence if convicted.
"O'Gara should know that the
right not to be tried twice for the
same offense is privilege the de-
PENDANT may waive" Leo Gallagher,
Mooney attorney, said. Mooney
never will set up such defense"
Mooney, who has maintained he
is innocent of the crime, sought a
new trial in confidence he would be
acquitted, and could use the verdict
in demanding pardon from the
conviction on which he now is serv-
ing life.

No one was injured, although the

illegal beer trade.
There was also a possibility, po-
