Miss Olive M. .Tones, presi- I dent of the National Educutiiqi Associa tioii. ut a lunrheon given in New York by fifteen hundred educators and teachers in her lienor, laid especial stress upon the need of teachers being alive to the the evils of illiteracy and doing their j utmost, not oniy to eradicate u by their ’ efforr.-i in caching, but by their efforts as citizens to arouse others to the need of a more intelligent campaign to bring , th.s country from its present position away down in the iiet of literate nations a position at the top. “The one great problem facing the i I lilted States is how to provide an edu cation citizenry which will preserve !

PUBLISHED MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS INEFFICIEICV IN THE j IN STATE CfiftRGED ! ' Formal Charges Have Been Filed With Veterans’ Bu reau Covering Entire Fifth District of Bureau. DR. TOWNSEND IS MAKING CHARGES He Conferred With Senator Overman and Dr. John Donnelly Before Making His Formal Complaint. Charlotte. Nov. 22.—Formal charges of inefficiency in administration and favor- An.sm in personal appointments have been I filed with the Veterans’ Bureau in Wash ington against the Veterans Bureau of fice of the fifth district with offices in Atlanta, .and Charlotte suit-division, it was’ announced tore todav. Charge* were made by Dr. M. B. Townsend, for mer medical examining officer for the < harlot re sub-district, which comprises the state of North Carolina. The charges were filed, it was stated, following a conference between United Stares Senator Overman and Dr. Town send, and I)r. John Donnelly, formerly tu berculosis specialist here, at the Sena tor's home in Salisbury. An inspector lrom the \ eterans’ Bureau is said to have been sent to this district to investigate. Ihe district is composed of Georgia. I- lorida, Tennessee. North Carolina and South Carolina. I)r. Townsend in his charges, declared that scores of men suf fering with tuberculosis coming under bis personal observation in the Charlotte sub district nave wasted valuable time for hospital admission, while a system direct ed by cheap and incapable men was de ciding the formalities. Again many times men desperately in need of hos pital care for active tuberculosis have in a few days after gaining admission, been discharged from the hospital be cause of untrained doctors in attendance at such hospitals have not recognized the seriousness of obvious lesions of tu berculosis. BIBLES OF FABULOUS VALUE. The Sum of SOO,OOO Has Been Paid For a Copy of the Gutenberg Bible. Xew York. Nov. 22.—The announce ment that SOO,OOO lias been jniid for a copy of the Gutenberg Bible has called attention anew to the . almost fabu’ous value that lias been placed upon rare or unusual copies of the Scriptures. Y\ hile the SOO,OOO has been mentioned in some of the reports as a record high price it is recalled that' some ten years ago a copy of the same work was re ported sold to ati American collector for the enormous sum of $500,000. The Gutenberg Bible is one of the greatest of literary treasures. It was printed on parchment and was the first or .duet of tiie Gutenberg press some 000 years ago. Aboutithirty copies were printed and of this number eight are still in existence. The copy which has just changed hands was kno\|n among col lectors as the Mazarin Bible front the fact that it was once included in the library of the great Cardinal .Mazarin. Probably the finest extant, example of the work is the. Leipzig copy, which was presented many years ago by a Dresden collector as a national treasure to Saxony and lias since been on ex hibition in the museum, in Leipzig. The value of this copy is considered almost beyond appraisal. AA'hile the Gutenberg Bibles are usually rated the most va’uaTde of all Bibles, owing largely to the fact that they were the first books printed front movable type, there are many other Bibles in existence that would bring fortunes if put up for sale. One of the best-known of these is the famous Bible of Borso d' Este. Only a few months ago a wealthy business man of Alilan paid a French dealer 3.300.000 francs for this volume, and presented it to the Italian nation. The work is an ancient text of the Bible and is in two parts of 700 pages each. written on parchment and illuminated with won derful patience and skill by the scholar ly Prince of Este. The work was execut ed between 1450 and 1400 and is in a sp’endid state of preservation. For many years the ancient volumes formed part of the imperial treasure of the House of Austria. With the fall of the i monarchy, the late Emperor Charles I. was driven by necessity to sell the Bible To a dealer in Paris. ATany old versions of- the Biblw have become valuable because they contain weird errors, or words used in quaint ways. The Bug Bible, published in 1551. makes the Psalmist say.: “Thou shnlt not be afraid of any bug by night." Bug is the Old English form <> fthe word bogey. ~ In the squeal led Beer Bible, Isaiah says, "They shall not drink beer with a song." As wine was little used in Eng land in his time, the translator was probably trying to imply a word that every one of bis readers would under stand- More curious is the Troao'e Bible, in which Jeremiah. “Is there no balm in Gilead?" becomes "Ts there no treacle?" The Vinegar Bib’e obtained its name by printing in the head of St. Luke, chapter xx.. “The parable of the vine gar,” instead of vineyard. The best know of all curious Bibles is the Breeches Bible, in which the descrip tion of the distillusionment of Adam and Eve reads: “And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves breeches." Altogether there are no fewer than ten “freak” edition of the great book, many of them of. great value. CONCORD, N.

Paris, Nov. 22.—The attitude of the Paris newspapers toward the note which the council of ambassadors has sent »■> Germany may be summed up in the old adage “A half of a loaf is better than none.” The papers agree that the notes were only feeble productions, but they also point out that the allies preserved a united front. The first communication notified Ger many that the inter-allied military con trol mission will resume its functions in Germany, and serves notice that “shell'd these operations meet with obstructions' from the German authorities, or German nationals, the allied governments intend to take measures which may seem to tjiem proper to assure execution of the treaty.” ] The second note informs Germany that the allies will hold the reichstag /respon sible "for the eonsequenees which may result from the fact that it*allows the former crown prince to remain in Ger many.” The allies take cognizance of a document executed by Frederick William on December 1. 1018, in w.hioli he for mally renounces all claims to the throne, and adds that in communicating this re nunciation, Germany lias put herself on record as considering it valid and not considering its possible cancellation.
