'I'vo Bali'Ul features of the pres ent coiniiieiicemeul eeaaou ill fcuuca liuiiul luiiiuutioiia of ull gradee muat bo apparent to every ihuunlitlul on set hi; both of vital tuipoi lance to tliu welfare of the uatlou, and bolb results, direct or lnuincl, of tne sreat war. remarks llarvey'a Week ly. One, which aliould Hive cauae lor a. mere gialllicallon, la the great In c.eane in the number or pupila. Uni versities, colleges, and aecoudary achoola have during the laat year been ihruiiKed aa never befure, aud the pro.-peel 1a lor even greater nuin bera uexi full. The public achoola, alm, are crowded, though attendance at them la of courae coinpulaory and la therefore not ua alKiilllcunt ua 11 la in luatltiHioiia where it la voluntary. 1 here la little doubt that the war baa a an Interesting by-product, mater ially Humiliated the desire for knowl edge, and thua haa contributed to the 1 11 ireu mil attendance at Institution or higher learning. The other feature la altnoBt the re Terae of thia. It la the acarclty of tt uchera, the Inferior quulliy of many who are employed for lack of better, and the consequent closing of many achoola and deterioration of many more. Thia rule appllea to public achoola aomewhut more than to aec ondary achoola and colleges, though they all Buffer from It to aome ex tent. We recently called attention to the report of the bureau of education concerning the ahortage of teachei and the number of achoola cloaed, run on part time, or taught by In efficient persona. Now cornea another report from high authority to almilar effect. The Ituaaell Sage Foundation finds that the public achoola of the entire country, considered on points of attendance, (ruining, progress, ana related Iteina, ahow an average effi ciency of only G2 per cent. Kven In the great alute of New York, where one of the best action! ayateins In Ihe land la auppoaed to prevull, the per centage of efficiency la only 65!. 4. Heelng that the public achoola are the only achoola which the vast majority of Americana ever attend, It la perti nent to Inquire how we can hope to produce 100 per cent American clll sens, at least Intellectually, in 62 per cent achoola. Of courae the reason for thia de plorable alate of affaire la easy to discern. It la expressed In two abort worda: Poor pay. School teachera are after all human beluga, who need lodging, clothing and food, and who nre entitled to a little more remun eration than Just to provide theae no ci'saillea. At (he present (line they are generally very much underpaid. There haa been no bucIi increase In their salaries aa there haa been in (he pay of many others, including many of far lesa Importance to Ihe welfare of the community and Ihe alate Muny a young woman school teacher receives smaller wanes than the kit chen maid In her boarding house. Many a high school teacher, even a college professor, seea artisans bet ter paid Ihnn himself. In such cir cumstances It Is only human nature for teachera to abandon their calling for something which will pay them hotter, and naturally It la the unit competent -who do thin, because of the greater demand for their services outside and the greater promise of pay. The colleges and aniversltlea see this, and feel the atresa, and nre try ing to deal with the situation by making drlvea for funds, in mnn cases announcing that the Increased endowments aought are to be used for the purpose of Increasing the sal aries of the faculties. In the public schools the problem Is more serious at ill, and must he met in another way. The community or the state must provide ihe needed funds. And this must be done In the face of the already high taxes which Ihe people are paying. Otherwise we shall suf fer the Irreparable h, ()r mi un educated or Ineff Iclelit ly educated generation at the very lime when the best possible education Is urgent ly needed. A tine example has recently been sot by Ihe city of Newark. New J.r aoy. under the leadership of an en lightened, progressive and resolute liead of Its board of education. Kvery teacher on the annual payroll has received an Increase of ItiiO, In ad dltion to the automatic increases which range from $50 to 2ti. A bonus of MOO la also given to every regular teacher, and provision j made for regular annual Increases hereafter of doublte (he amoitni hitherto prevailing. All dlscritnimi (Ion between men and women teach era la to bo abolished. Each leacher who haa served ten years la to have full year's vacation "for attidy and observation" on full pay minus n substitute's salary; and another such year at the end of another fen yearV term. In addition to all this, th teachers themselves, through an academic council, are (n have an Im portant rolre In the government an. I direction of the whole department of education. In devising this comprehensive scheme. Dr. Sonimer has done far more than to secure for the teachers adequate salaries. He has taken splendid step toward matins the How To Doubk Your Money. THAT sounds Ilk the wildest speculative proposal, doe.n't It? ! ':i?!it.Tl Well we bava been saying right aloug that conditions would sometime ch:mge, and that the person who saved the 60 cent dollar u 411 it again bad a purchasing power of 100 cents would make 100 profit.

Koseburg's Chamber of Commerce s b ing put on a high plane which pells' success for the organization. Vow let's tret that city band organ zed support It liberally financially is well as taking a personal interest n Its welfare from every standpoint. Then we will have a mighty line team to pull the old town to tho pinoacl jf success. Editor Nw-Rev!w: To aettla a lit t i controversy, will you please answer th question stated below: In a former election when George Qulne defeated Sam Starmwr for the nomination for sheriff, Starmer de clared for Quine and went to work for bis election. Now that Starmer hus taken the nomination from Quine it is said by some that Qulne has declared for Starmer aud will work for hla election. Others say thia la lint true, bill that Qulne 14 wnrkinir for Harrv Fearce. Which la correct? Has Quine made any an nouncement through tbe press? (Sheriff Quine has made no public announcement, or private utterance an far aa la known. In reference to bis attitude toward the sheriff's race, and until he des this paper cannot "ipeak out In the open" and give the republican the Information he de sires. Editor j. Now that the elephant has had his Inning, the mule will take the plat' form at San Francisco Monday. The burden of carrying out a pro Zth'u such as was iuttlated during no vijit this week of hundreds of ihrlneri to Hosehurg on their way o the convention at 1'ortlund should .t be left solely to a few individuals. ut on the contrary should buve tht o-opi-railon of everybody, liut, th act that less than a dozen men and vomen of this city spuntiored the lever little advertising scheme and jol away with It with extreme satiM action to the visitors and excellent enults In an advertising way, shows oncliiBlvely that It only lakes a lit is hunch of Uvewlres to put over a nighty big undertaking and In a nost creditable muniier. Tho clerical force In the war do Ktrtment Is being dlHchargcl at the :ite of 200 a day, and by July 1st ver 6000 employes will have been taken from the pay rolls. The re- renchiuen Is made necessary by the irtlnn of the recent congress In In- intlng that tin force of war-tim lelpern bo materially reduced. Mr. C.lenn K.

Why a primary preference election hen the results are practically void, o far as sec mi tig recognition at n Miliiical convention? Th puswyfnntor nn it oil over the regulnr "peoples' holce" ranilMalo when It comes to 'liual results. Someone suggests getting rid of Mirbstone loafers by having moving sidewalks. While the Willie boyr would then have to stand In the Greets and get run over by automo biles, the public would not feel the okh much. The stock brokers made money by -uttlng stocks down on the poor howing of the winter wheat crop. Mid now they are prepared to make ome more by putting them up on th ixood reports from spring wheat. You wouldn't admit It publicly but you know that a fool la anybody that Joesn t agree with you. Why do they always refer to him as an "old" bachelor? Some of the worst ones are young.

Musical Comedy Dae Next Tuesday When Hurt Southern comes to the Vntler's theater next Tuesday, June .'J, he will bring with him a com any of players for the engagement f "Hen-Hecked Henry", each of horn has been selected for his or er special qualifications to play he role the artist Is cast for. Cndor rdiuary circumstances a star gath rs together a cast to enact the vart :i8 parts without tuklng into con ideratton the ability or the actor r actress to not only speak the nea properly but to look the part, 'r. Southern has, however, taken pedal care to have the Individual atttgned to each part be that char fter throughout the farce. While he average theater-goer might call he girls a "chorus" In the "Hen Vcked Henry" company, the girls ill are real vaudevilllans. They ave been selected because of their hlllty to present Ti umbers enmnsne nd also to offer special I les either ndividually or otherwise. The eight iming lalp(es oiTer several unique lumbers, while the three McKenzie Inters contribute singing and In rru mental numbers; Unne.
