6. The following is taken from the
Saturday everting Post of April 6th.
Looking at it from the material side?
?vrtiich is the side from which so many
of us do look at our occupations?
school teaching is the most beggarly
arofession in the United States. No
mker calling that is presumed to re
quire anything like the same amount
at training and ability is so ill-paid
Jo other galling that is presumed to
fftqutre a considerable mental disci
pline antf-chrrelopment- is held in such
lew regard or is so little supported by
public admiration. No other learned
calling except the ministry is pursued
under conditions that involve so much
humiliation, and the minister's trials
v>ith his vestrymen or trustees are
somewhat ameliorated by the fact that
in very many cases he is free to take
au appeal over their heads, whereas
the local board *i education is gener
ally a supreme court for the teacher
These are aol flattering things to
?ay of a nation 'hrt has been declar
ing for a hundred years that its hope
lay in public edacaiion. Dut they are
true.
Just now the teacher is in an ex-1
ceptionally unpleusant situation. His
or her cost of living has gone balloon- |
ing. like everybody else's. But on the
whole there h.? been only a feeble
response on the oiher side of the led
ger. The result i3 depletion of the pro
fession. Under present conditions es
pecially?wfc&n nearly every other field
of activity is bidding eagerly for la
bor of nearly every sort?teaching
looks less attractive than ever.
TJbe less attractive it looks the more
interior the teaching force will be
c'onie?Inevitably. Already operating
the ays-.em upon which we say the hope
of the nation depends has become, for
a portion of those engaged In it. a
mere incidental pin-money stop-gap
iHHWec ;-u Adu^i: ;.1 and potting rear,
rled.
Ther? is danger of its becoming an
accepted notion that upholding the i
hope o i the nation Is something any
fairly *ntetiige:.^1"1 cap do between
deuces ? '"
But thp real victims are_
not thr teacher?. The real victims
- &TBtiT:liens of prospective citizens,
particularly in the country, on whom
we afe L*ff ^ ii!gir?.r?*ly ywin?
die."
7. Tteg school committeemen will
please not forget that-4be public school
property is In their care. See to it
during vacation that the doors and
windows are kept locked. If your
buildings neetf an>\repair the summer
is the time to have this work done
when school Is not In session. I re
commend especially that eadr-wcliool
"this summer be supplied with a dry
" wood house before the fall. This will
relieve the teacher of much worry and
trouble during the term aiyl will great
ly help to make it possible for your
boys nnd girls to be comfortable !n
cold wen-her.

The Government is urging our
schools and churches to buy Liberty

ment for them. The schools In Frank

The government of thd United States askB every American citizen to?
subscribe for War Saving Stamps and Liberty loan bonds. The money 14
merely loaned to the government and will be used to free the United States
and the rest of the world from the grasping greed of the German imperial
government. Every dollar loaned to the government will be repaid with
interest!
So much for what you can do for Uncle Sam now.
If you do not lend of your money and this war is lost, this will happen
to you: (Copy of German Notice published). .

to 50.000 francs Sept. 6. 1914, at 9 o'clock in the morning, to the represen
tative of the German military authority. All protests will bo null and

"If the commune does not punctually obey the order to pay the sum of

That's how the kaiser collects from a conquered people.
And are you laboring under the deluson that the w*arlords of Germany
do not hope to conquer and oppress the people of the United States? If you
so believe, read these words from the pens and mouths of the kaiser's band
of military slavemasters:
'"The most dangerous foe of^Germany In thls-generatlon will prove to be
the United States."?Dr. Otto Hotsch, In the Alldeutsche Blatter.
L "As a matter of fact, Germany Is the only great power which is in a po
sition to conquer the United States."?Frelherr von Edelshelm.
"The American people will be conquered by the victorious German spirit,
so that it will represent an enormous German empire."?Robert Thiem, in
The Alldeutsche Blatter. N j
"It is the duty of everyone to see that the future language spoken in
America shall be German."?Hubbe-Schleiden.
'The Germans seem marked by their talents and by their achievements
to be the teachers and the intellectual, economic and political leaders of the.
American peoples."?Professor Johannes Unold.
"Not only North America but the whole of America must, become the
bulwark of Germanic kultur, perhaps the stongest fortress of the Germanic
aces."?Klaus Wagner.
"Some months after we finish our work in Europe we will take New
York and probably Washington and hold them for some time. We propose
to take a billion or more dollars from New York and other places."?Count
von GoerZen, German military attache and personal friend of the kaiser.
"America had better look out after this war."?Wilhelm Hohenzollern,
despot of the Teutonic peoples.
"We are keeping books on ycu Americans. It's a long account and we
I haven't missed any details. Rest assured that that account will ba present
ed to you some day for settlemnt."?Major Liebster to American Consul A.
Curtis Roth.
j Now. can any American -have any further doubt as to the kaiser's de
signs. or to the methods of collection he employs?
' Having thus proved beyond the possibility of a doubt that the kaiser is
bent upon the conquest of America if he can achieve it, and that he col
lects the last cent of tribute at the point of the bayonet, is there one single
reason-why any American should not offer to loan his dollars to Uncle Sam?
If we* Americans refuse to loan our dollars to our own government now.
you can rest assured that we will grive them to the kaiser. If our boys over
there are defeated. And defeated they will be if they are not backed up by
our money and the food, ammunition, ships hnd service our dollars will buy.
It's all very simple. You lend today, or you pay tomorrow?pay Wll
hejm Hohenzollern. the enslaver of free nations and free peoples.
Buy your bond, and another If you can, and still another, if you are
able, even though you mu.?t save and sacrifice to do it. You'll do more than
"save and sacrifice" if the kaiser wins. The kaiser collects by shot and
shell.?
That's how the kaiser collects I
