Touching the greater burden which war imposes upon the -omen, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw eloquently visualizes the one .unit of woe the one slaughtered son on the field of blood. ,( Dr. Shaw was speaking at Pittsburg relates The Telegram, and turned her attention to some of the scoffing comments upon the peace gathering of women at The Hague; particularly that which takes the form of the query, "What do women know about ,war ? " Dr. Shaw had read a newspaper headline which ran : "Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dead," and she made that serve as a test for her answer to the question. "I can visualize one dead man," said this eminent woman, !"his vhite face upturned on a battlefield, and I can think back .to some woman in his native country. Twenty years of her life she has given to produce that soldier; twenty years of toil and .weariness, and sometimes of anguish to bring him to manhood, and he is the realization of her womanly ambitions. And he lies dead. Multiply the grief of that one mother by 250,000 and you may conceive the significance of the ravages of war in terms of human suffering. Then ask, if you will, what woman knqw about war!" There is the whole world epic of war eloquently portrayed in the suffering of the woman the mother of the son who was the dimpled baby; the sprightly, mischievous youngster; the fair browed, clear-eyed boy in his teens; the strapping manly young fellow on whom the fond mother expected to lean as on a staff in her old age. Nothing left of him save a piece of cold and'blbod stained day which the mother will never see, and-the'memory of what he was and what she hoped he would be. This one unit of woe by reason of war is the eloquent 'sum ming up of the misery it inflicts upon the woman. 5 ' ' v SPRINGFIELD SCHOOLS EFFICIENT. Marked efficiency of the Springfield schools,;especially in the teaching of Ihe vocational lines, is demonstrated by the number of. 'awards .captured by the Springfield schools at the school .lair in "Eugene last week. Best collective exhibit in the showing of vocational work; best feature in demonstration of supervised play; five out of eight prizes in the break-making contest; a clean sweep of all three prizes in one class of cake making these are some of the indicators showing the thoroughness with which the Springefild course is applied, whether it be in work or in play. It is particularly fitting that the Springfield schools should specialize in the vocational studies. Springfield is essentially a manufacturing city, and the demands of its pupils will be for training that will make possible the best training for entering In dustrial life. The schools have been particularly fortunate in securing such efficient teachers in these subjects. As time goes on, the courses will grow and expand, and with the growth of the community should come a corresponding growth in the scope of the training offered through the medium of the public schools.

The foreign-born citizen has taken verv kindly to posia savings, and literature in his own language will be of great as slstence to him. In a recent ar tlcle, Postmaster General Burle son commented on the foreign born depositor as follows: "Upwards of 500.000 depositors how have accounts with the Postal Savings system and they represent every nationality on the earth. They also represent almost every known occupation professional men, theatrical people, mechanics, laborers, fish ermen; pack peddlers, etc. But the majority are wage earneTs, "and of this class the foreign born largely predominate. A census of depositors taken by the postofilce department shows that approximately 40 per cent (200,000) of the depositors are foreign-born citizens and they . James A.
