ssTT SHALL be the duty of the leg
4 islative assembly of Montana
to establish and maintain a general,
uniform and thorough system of pub
lie, free, common schools" Constitu-
ton of Montana, Art 9. Sec. l.
Warning signs on the horizon tell
us hat danger lies ahead, that a new
note of discomfort is with us and
something must be done imme-
diately. Educators and parents must
meet the challenges together, for to-
gether we are experiencing this diff
ficult period.
Our schools are o~vercrowded and
buildings are bullying at the seams.
Many of them are outdated and in
such poor condition that it seems al
most a waste of time and money to
expend good money to salvage the
old.
Teaching Situation Bad
The teaching situation is extremely
bad. We are not attracting young
folks into the teaching profession
and consequently here in Montana
we have 105 graduates TO fill APP
proximately 1000 vacancies caused
by death, illness or removal to other
states and communities or complete
retirement from the profession and
entrance into other fields more pleas
ant and lucrative.
Restlessness-it is a sign of the
times. But do our o~vercrowded ON
ditions, economic insecurity, personal
and social d~isintegration tend to
change this condition? Children
coming from homes experiencing
these conditions and coming into
class rooms with this background of
40 or SO similar homes do not tend
to better the feelings already at the
breaking point.
One able educator puts it this
way "-in the worldwide struggle
between democracy and commu-
nism as ways of life, the outcome
will be determined by education, not
force; the victor will be the teacher,
not the soldier"
A teacher. Yes, it lies within her
power to build the coming citizens Of
tomorrow. Where do we find the
greatest need? Some will say the
urban areas where insecurity has
the best breeding space. This may
be true, but at the same time we
must consider the fact that teacher:
are more prone to choose the urbar
centers. The rural centers must 1ool
to ways and means of improving
conditions to attract teachers. Lead

RUSSIANS DELAY DEATH SENTENCES OF
 GERMAN CRIMINALS

BERLIN-tR-To hang crim- inal in Berlin these days requires virtually five death sentences
 Under occupation rules the death sentence can be passed by a Ger man court but it must have the alIilmation of the four occupying powers. This was relatively simple Up to lae. July when the Russians walked ut and torpedoed the four-poWer Allied Kommandatura.
 But now the German authorities have to circulize the four Allied commandants separately. Tn e tnre= western commandants usually answer promptly but the Russian commander dallies. and the execu- toner has to wait until he hears rom him.

RUSSIANS STILL PART OF JOKES
 IN G RYAN LIFE

BFRLIN-tAl-be still jokes about the Russians. One story tells bout a German who lived in a caport. He used % go down to the harbor every day and just tand there for hours looking out 70 sea. People began to wonder bout him. one day even the owns Russian commandant went town to ask what he was looking ter so sadly.
 The German answered Why, I'm ust waiting for the arrival of acse grain ships which the Rus sians promised to send us from he sie5 Union The Russian r t,d the German on the shoulder i'd -eDlied gentiy in broken Ger II: Don't lock for those ships ere. Look in your newspapers" '"
 Another story tells of a Russian lfioer meeting German nun aJ ing by a roadside shrine. Said the Russian: Why are you pray n So things viii go well with m and we will have better ames replied the nun.
 vel. never heard of that that cne caA get rid ol his cares ea oHblas through prayer. Say,
 doAt 5ou say a prayer for n .oc Next day he again fccud her at prayer Now what l you yin3 -or." he asked.
 nd praying for you, asking that ycu4 l4 abe to go to heaven" :"
 u he nun. Tnereupon, the story oes the Russian blurted out an -tonished rejection: No, no, l cent want to go to heaven. I want C stay in Germany
 This story IS intended to stress what many Germans have always ccntended: That the Russians sta- toned in Germany never had it So good.)

Urges U. 5. Help in
Outstanding World
BY the Assoeioted Press

BUCK HILL FALLS, Pa, Dec. 9.
American diplomacy has done lit
tie toward Christianizing interna-
tional relationships, prominent
Methodist Church oficial said to-
day.
The Rev. Garland Evans Hopkins
of Washington, D. c., told the an
nual meeting of the Board of Mis-
sions and Church Extension of the
Methodist Church that Americans
can influence effectively the inter-
national scene toward the Christian
pattern"
ITO do this" he said, "the United
States must:
Il. Make a great advance in sup
plying personnel and material to
our far-fung mission posts.
%. Come to grips with the great
barriers to international good will
in our national life"
Missionaries Often Hindered.
Mr.. Hopkins, head of the Church
Boards liaison Office in Washington,
said the American missionary often
finds his work hampered and some
times almost negatived by the dip
lomatic and trade policies OF his
homeland"
There can be no missionary ad-
vance in this new era unless simul-
taneously we Christianize our inter-
national relationships, he said.
Race relations in the United
States, Mr.. Hopkins declared in
report to the boards 200 members,
separate America from position
of moral leadership among the ma
tions of the world" The pattern OF
segregation is the weak spot in our
domestic life" Mr.. Hopkins went on

York, who retireS as executive Secre-
tary of the division of foreign mis-
sions next year after Is years in

ment, danger and possible loss of
religious freedom under Commu-
niStic control.
DR., Diffenderfer revealed that at
least % missionaries, including
women and children, have been
evacuated from China's danger
zones.
80 Nations Aided.
Bishop Titus Lowe of New York,
executive head of the Methodist
Committee for Overseas Relief, told
q reporter at least 80 nations are
getting medicine, clothing, funds and
food packages totalng more than
$4,000 each month.
The Board of Missions, including
40 bishops, ends its four-day con-
ference tomorrow. 1t has heard re-
ports of its four divisions and their
plans for the future.
The Department of Christian So
cial Relations, part Of the women's
division, announced four-year
program of social development.
The project, headed by Executive
Secretary Thelma Stevens of New
York, proposes to:
l. Push the church into more
prominence in the community.
2. Stabilize family life as a means
of securing world peace.
3. Arouse women to vote during
elections as a means to world bet
terment.
4. Fight for enactment of Presi-
