TEACHERS' COTTAGES
years, until, according w ujj mivw
gation by J. C. JIArjnan of the Bu
reau of. Kdu&tion, recorded in the
bulletin, there are now one or more
teachers' cottages in every State, and
in the Stiite of Washington, Where
the movement has been fostered by
Mrs. Josephine Preston, State Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction,
there are now 108 of these cottages.
ONE OF THESE DAYS
Tejushers.' cottages, erected by the
community in or nelar the schoolhouse
and used pot only as the teacher's
residence but also in the community
center, are advocated in a bulletin
prepared by R. S. Kellogg and dis
tributed by the Department of the
interior through its Bureau of Edu
cation to county superintendents and
other officers in charge of rural
schools. The bulletin describes the
movement for teachers' (residences in
rural districts and gives plans for
cottjages of various sizes and types.
Lack of suitable boarding accom
modations is one of the most serious
difficulties in the way of securing
uitable teachers for country schools,
the bulletin declares. There are more
than 200,000 rural-school districts in
tfhe United States and over 16,000,000
children of school age who live in the
country or in towns of less than 2,
600 population, yet it is impossible
because of living conditions to get
teachers of the highest type to re
main the . country. '
Mr, Kellogg says: "Many farm
houses have no accomodations what
ever for a teacher, and often kitchen
living room and dining room are com-,
biraed in one with no heat in any other
room in 'the house. The farmer and
his family have to spend .most of
their time working indoors or out,
Waiting and sleeping. Thoir occupa
tions and hours of labor in no way
correspond to those of the teacher,
which increases the difficulty of fit-
those of the farmer with any satis-! We could a 1 help folks so much if

But He Was No Yankee
Isreal Zancwiill, the author, has
aroused a good deal of criticism late
ly owing to 'his attitude toward the
war
The author of 'The Children of the
Ghetto," is one of the wittiest of all
literary men, and aa an taf ter-dinner
speaker he has few rivals.
Shortly after he was married, Mr
Zangwill came witih his wife to Amer
ican where they were entertained by
some prominent citizens at a well'
known New York Club. . -.v
After dinner, an admiral who was
present, proposed Mr. Zangwill a
health, and remarked that it was a
pity they could not claim him as a
citizen of the United States.
"Oh," said Mr. Zangwill, with a
smile: "but I belong to one of the
United States, through my wife by
marriage.
Everyone was much puzzled, for
Mrs. Zangwill was certainly English;
but d!t was she her self who explain'
od the mystery.
"It was a joke," she said sadly; he
does belong to the United States
the married state, do you see?"
Not So Enthusiastic
"How did you like that interior
setting?'" asked the realistic produc
er, "For a real room, except that it
had only three walls, could you beat
it?"
'Well," said the morose critic, "I'd
have been more contented during the
piny if you had added the fourth
wall. Judge.
Ami now England calls out the mar
ried men. Albion is learning at last
'the necessity of having real fighting
