Clothes For Russians

Tomorrow marks the start of one week s
intensive campaign here to collect clothing for
the relief of Russians in the ravaged Soviet
territories recently liberated from German oc-
cupation Reports reaching Russian War Re-
lief headquarters reveal that enemy lootng
has left millions of Russians barefoot and in
rags.
These accounts of mass confiscations are
reinforced by observations of American cor
respondents and even by German war
prisoners
Henry Shapiro, correspondent whose
writings are closely followed, recently describ-
ed the Ukraine, once the breadbasket of Rus
STA, as a semi-wilderness where women and
children wander barefoot over parched eartn.''
One German war prisoner cynically inform
ed reports that German soldiers sent to the
Russians front considered themselves simply
employees of great enterprise called the East
ern campaign After Selling all the cattle and
bread they could find in occupied villages, he
said, the invaders would visit all homes and
and take clothing, blankets and pillows Tor
their personal use. Another prisoner disclosed
that Hitler permitted soldiers to send three
p- -cels of this loot every month to their faml-
lies in Germany.
We are so accustomed to dispatches recount
ing Russia's wonderful successes in battle that
we have lost sight to a large extent OF the
sufferings endured by the Russian people. Yet
it is probable that no country's population on
whom the pestilential hand Of the Nazis has
fallen has suffered more grievously than them.
Victory is in the cards for the United Nations
largely because our Russian allies converted
vast stretches Of their richest and most dense
" populated areas into decisive battlefields
of this war; The hardships they have endured
in the struggle against our common foe are
almost beyond belief Beside what you might
call the normal destruction and dislocations
in the twice fought-over areas, the plight of
their people is UNNECESSARILY worse because

Dearth Of Teachers

The nations school system face a serious
men teachers into the armed services Many
women teachers have Joined the Wacs and
sessing special skills, have deserted the class
room for industry or other work offering higher
rates of pay, as a means of meeting the rising
costs of living and high taxes.
While this has been going on, the precentage
of graduates taking up teaching has steadily
of high school graduates entering normal
school or teacher college fell off alarmingly.
Since the war came their number has hit a
new low.
Obviously, II this continues, education will
be in bad way No matter how many schools
we build or how many children attend there
can be no classes if there are no teachers.
Education leaders are concentrating their at
tention on methods in the employment of which
they hope to recruit large numbers OF grad
yates for the teaching profession
Until the war ends they have little reason to
long as there is fighting to do boys must take
up arms at eight or even seventeen But
the war will not last forever What is to be
done to attract boy graduates to teaching there
after is one Of the major problems confronting
school leaders. A more adequate rate of pay
than has been offered in the past might bring
the solution nearer.
It is useless to expect young men to devote
their lives to profession which is as highly
specialized as any at small salaries when with
equal preparation they can enter other pro-
fessions offering much greater compensation.
The states that propose to met the demand
for teachers would do well to make the pro-
fession attractive financially as well as ethi-
cally.
The war, which will interfere with recruit
ing men teachers as long as it continues, does
not account for the dearth of young women at
teacher training schools. Their case is quite
different The trouble probably is traceable
to the fact that in most instances girls take
up teaching chiefly as stopgap between grad
uation and marriage. And with the number OF
marriages greatly increased by the war, the
number of girls preparing to be teachers has
decreased proportionately.
The high rate of marriages will fall off when
the war ends. The task then will be to make
teaching more attractive, as career, to girls.
Here, too the matter of salaries ought to be
considered. With women earning up to $4,000
year in business and the professions, it is
obvious that few girls mentally and tempera-
mentally fitted for wellpaid careers Will be
satisfied with the pittance that has fallen to
the lot of women teachers for so many years.

The many sacrifices she has

AS each year passes, opportu9i-

To express to her, your one best

And you, as well as she, will
