YOUR CHILD'S FUTURE
The school situation is not a joke. 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

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'

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

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?

Ten Minutes with this Elegant
7ew Chalmers Tells Ton the Story
YOU finci it slnrta fit oner; I lint il is running with amaz
ing swrctnoss in a lew TxnIs. You nolo no vilirntion.
You call for sprrri ami you Rrt results. You '"no il
down and you detect a willing ami prrlcct servant obeying
every wish.
Ten minules Rives you a recast opinion qn motor cars.
Your admiration for a Chnlmrrs dectx-ns. You search
for tho cause and you find it in Mot S)t and Kam't-hom.
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.
