Talk about it in newspapers and magazines is not mere propaganda for slight increase of salary for teachers. At the risk of boring its readers, every newspaper with a sense of public duty is obliged to harp on the fact that the school situation as it ex ists today all over the country is a national menace. If the child of today is to become the useful citizen of tomorrow, he must have schooling today. The actual num ber of classes not children, but classes of from thirty to seventy children each which will, have no teacher at all next year is not less than 50,000. The number of classes now being taught and the number will be greater next year by inexperienced teachers, untrained, half competent, who have been given emergency certificates to teach, is 120,000. Only one-fifth of all the teachers in the country have had training equal to two years beyond the high school. Nearly half have had no training at all beyond the hieh school which is to say, they have never been taught anything at all about peragogy, school management psychology. They do not understand the fundament al principles of education. Through haphazard ex perience some of them have gained some knowledge of how children's minds work, and how to get at the task of educating them successfully. But the first few years Qf their teaching have been raw experiment with the plastic material of the children's minds under their care. The apprentice dressmaker begins her work by trying out a gown on cheap material, and learns her principles and practice before she dares to set her shears into a eood fabric. Not so the green teacher. She does her first slashing on the mina or your cnna. It is the fault of every sinele citizen that this situation has come about. It is up to every single citizen to get about me cure, i nis is no time tor dallying. FOREIGN LANGUAGE SCHOOLS A Buffalo judge recently refused naturalization papers iu an applicant oecause tne man, tnough seeking citizenship, was sending his children to schools in which the Polish language is the medium of instruction. The judge declared that the children of persons seeking naturalization must be receiving knowledge of American institutions, and that they flow to Spend 10.00 I know you don't need any body to tell you how to spend your money, you say. But wait a minute do you get ten dollars' v,orth of food values when you sfrend ten dollars for food? Sort of subtle, yes? Well, you get the answer in Hie COUNTRY GENTLEMAN What I'm leading up to subtly is that you should start next week to read a series of articles about I guess I won't tell you. after all, what it's about. Read this issue and see ! I will tell you thii much: Look for an article by R. M. Cleveland, with a cartoon by Edwin Mar cusand tee what the woman in the picture has bought with her ten dollars. Then go and spend your ten-spot the same way. It will pay you. . . . And really you need eleven dollars if you are to let mm advise your spending ten, as aforesaid, for food, and one to pay for a year's subscription for THE Country Gentle man. You need not be without it from week to week for I'll have the postman deliver it to you every Thursday for a whole year lor only 1 1 DO That's Less Than Two Cents a Week! . W. C. Cowgilf P.O. B 24. Phon. 1118 Ind. 3 Conrsllis As suthorlted subscription reycieDtstlr, of 1beCourtrj(jaifkmn TiLvScTTomjraal Tfit ShmJiylvrarngftn should be taught in the English language. Most Americans will agree whole-heartedly with the judge. Certainly any foreigner who sincerely desires to be come an American citizen should be eager to give his child ren the best possible opportunity to enjoy their future citiz enship by being prepared for it. It is more than likely that the father in this instance was not insincere in his wish to become an American, and it was probably far from his intention to have his children grow up un-American. He simply had not seen the situation clearly, had not thought about the matter at all. The Polish school was perhaps close at hand. In it were gathered teach ers and pupils who had come, like himself, from the Old Country, or whose parents had done so. The school spoke a familiar tongue, and he sent his children to it naturally enough. Yet the school was wrong, and he was wrong. The incident re-opens the question discussed passion ately during the war. Why should there be any foreign language schools in this country? Vt'here were the authori ties who had failed to supply a good American school in that district, or who had failed to interest the forcicn residents ifhe district in that school if it existed? Heal Americaniz ation begins with the children of our foreign population, but if we ourselves do not see to it that they get into our schools, how can we expect their foreign-born parents to do so?

You may or may not know ihnt "gas" is worso this year than last, thnt il is becoming heavier and heavier and harder and harder to "burn." Few engines have met this serious condition. The greut Chalmers engine has. It lakes the low grade "gas," throws it ogiiinst the I lot Spot, which vaporizes tho "gas" into a "cloud," and makes il "fino for fuel." Ram's-horn, minus sharp corners and abrupt bends, rushes it to tho cylinders at a velocity of 100 miles an hour. Thus tho cylinders get a fuel that ihey can "burn." can "digest," instead of "lumpy" or "rainy" kind of "gas." Not only can you note results in a distinguished snnxth ness of action, but in your repair bills. For Hot Sxt and Ram's-horn provide against thinned out lubrication and consequent burned bearings, scored cylinders, frequent fouling of spark plugs, and wasted "gas through the exhaust. Ten minutes will tell; and ihen you, too, will say Chalmers is one of (he few great cars of the world. Waldo Anders n & Son Distrihulors Albany.
