OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEIDINGS —________—-—-———_—_——_—-—————-———————_ CITY VS. VILLAGE WICKEDNESS “The villages are not what they were in my day, what with automobiles, home-brew and even cabarets,“. Jersey woman, whose son-in-law is involved in ¢ tangle. “It’s enough to ruin any young man. In the (ilty a man has to work to keep going, but in the small town, he’s got plenty of time to figure out some devilment.” Whereupon a metropolitan newspaper asks hopefull whether Main street is really wickeder than Broadway. Here is food for thought, at least. It has a)wa_xys })gen take: for granted, both in fiction and in rezal life, that big cities meant Wickedness and temptation for unwary rustics. This tradition ‘has always overlooked the obvious fact that small towns' them- selves have a good deal of wickedness, possibly as much in pro- portion to their size as the big ones. The authors of. “Spoon River Anthology” and “Main Street” have drawn their cross- sections of small communities. It has always been true that one might be far from the maddening crowd’s ignoble strife and yet no further from the source of all evil than that same crowd. But here at last is the horrifying suggestion that the village is really worse than the metropolis, in the pressure of wickedness per square foot or its per capita rate of worthless characters. And does the big city, having more work to do apd going at higher pressure, tend to keep people deqent by j_f{eepmg them busy? There’s a fine subject for the debating society—if thlere is any such institution left. And will mothers yet come to fear the departure of their sons and daughters for the country, lest they come to evil through bad companionship? Perish the thought.—Red Wing Republican. ] 0 TEACHERS RETURNING TO SCHOOLS Reports to the effect that as many as 60,009 former school teachers, most of whom gave up their calling for the purpose of participating in war work of some character, are now ready to resume their old duties is taken to mean that the little red .school houses, as well as the city schools, will not longer suffer from a shortage of instructors. laments a New| a matrimonial | Copyriahiny | | IR S S * BIG LAKE * KREKE A KEKEXKK KKK | Harley Hansen and George Voltz!

A surprising percentage of those who'came to Wash- ington for work of a clerical character during the war were reau co-ope teachers. : . This renewed interest in the public schools, which means a new vigor and devotion to their work on the part of the teach-|,"},p clearing committee to work ers, is certain, in the opinion of school executives, fed.eral, state and local, to result in good for the cause of education. And, in the same way, it is believed, backing for the federal depart- ment of education also will be given impetus. 1 Pt RAILROADS INCREASING FORCE ! ‘A significant announcement comes from eastern 1'ai!roads to the effect that there have been substantial increases in the number of men employed in shop and repair work as .compz\red with June 1. The New York Central has increased, its payroll by 9,000 men in its various shops, The Pennsylvania system shows an increase of approximately 5,000 the Seaboard Air- line, of 1,000, and the Erie and Lackawanna like increases. ' These figures indicate that the peak of, unempl‘oyme.nt h:'ls been reached and the number of unemployed, especially in rail- road circles, will grow less. BREECHES FOR WOMEN : Really it would not be so bad if women would adopt kmckex‘bgc)_(ers"for every-dn_\'.pmcticul wear—certainly not if they coul_d all look as mfty‘ as the ones that are picked for the pictures. Ang therein perhaps lies the diffi- culty. The tao-fats offer a golid front of oppositon wth the too-leand as a light brigade skirting the flanks. So that even for practical wear, to say nothing of dress occasions, the skirt is likely to flourish as the popular mode of feminine dress for several more decades. . But this ought not to be. Those whose figures can st:\r}d jacket an.d knickerbockers should wear them. Ior the fact is that the knickerbocker is much more modest than thd skivt, short or long; far more comfortable and healthful; and, because of the probability that it would not constantly rhanqe in style, much more economical in the longrrun. But woe to woman if she should decide to make the knickerbocker an all-year garment. For no longer _will she feel the cooling zephyr oozing through. If she encroaches too far on _ man’s prerogative of breecheg with man she must sweat and suffer through the hot summer days.—St. Paul Dispatch. BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE Here's a fellow down in Michigan ranting something about the cost of | schools. Inited States n stricting the po: Says they arve going to cost more than $1,000,000,000 in these t year and he thinks we ought to cut the cost down by re- ibilities for pooular education. What's the use of educatirg folks so much and making them aspire to use their brains instead of being s Let 'em dig ditches, he says; we need more ditch ers anyhow. Education undoubtedly does spoil some perfectly pood ditch diggers, but if we can raise the sum total of the standard of intelligence only a little bit, it will be worth all that billion and a.good deal more. : Anyhow, if we will quit spending the more than $2,000,000,000 a year ave are nowv:.spending for useless and wa cate our children for all time to come The United Stat, pending thi for war purposes as it is endin, country for education.
