EDITORIAL MUSINGS.
Raise the School Teachers' Pay.
' Teachers should be paid more.
That "is the conviction that has sunk
in so deeply in Washington, that it
seems reasonable to expect that the
influence and force of the Govern
ment will back the proposition, and
- seek to establish standards in such
a manner as to effect action from au
'thorities in the States and in the dif
ferent school districts and separate
e'1"cational units everywhere in the
V ted States. The question has
Ix.-n argued over and over again,
but repetition will do no hurt. Here
Jfwe are as a people, - making make
shift of the most important profes
sion in existence. Double the pay is
the demand, so that men and women
can enter teaching as a profession,
and expect to remain in it, just as do
lawyers, doctors and a limited num
ber of editors who are making more
money than school teachers. The
Federal Bureau,of Education, as well
as the organizations within the
States, are insisting that this is a
-vital matter, and that something
along constructive lines must be done
to meet the situation- During the
days when every train coming into
Washington was unloading whole
platoons of maidens fair, bent upon
doing their patriotic duty, and inci
dentally drawing a nice Government
salary, there were a great many
" school teachers enlisting for the war
jobs. Results proved that while the
- most of these were doubtless very
good school teachers that they were
"without training for clerical work,
"!" and that from the standpoint of ren
dering a public service that they had
much better have remained at home,
teaching the young idea how to
. shoot, and' in spending their spare
time in the- different war activities
. of their own community. But these
. 'young women felt that they were not
properly compensated in their own
. -oommunitLes, and therefore they gave
tup Jheir work in order to answer a
'.call from their Government, which
said, on the screens and elsewhere:
'-"I need thee every hour," or words
-to that effect.
' Lastly, as. a- minister in the Uni-
. tartan chnrchsald, at the conclusion
vrof his sermon jSunday morning: "If
vajnong these many words you have
heard the still, small voice, harden
not your hearts." This friendly adap-
,' tation is directed specifically to
school boards, officials and all oth-
" ers who have a hand in fixing the sal-
aries of school' teachers.
Government and' Private Insurance.
. - In June. 1918, seventy marines
fell, in battle in an attack somewhere
on the Marne. Fifty-seven of them
carried the maximum of $10,000 in
surance; one was insured for $8,000,
and twelve for $5,000. The govern--
ment obligation was $500,000; but it
ifwas not the case of an obligation de
ferred for years until an act of Con-
- gress would recognize the claim, as
. with the old pension system.
- ,1'Up to. the end of 1918 the United
. States Government had paid out to
? -vthe- .veterans of the Revolution, the
rwar of 1812, Indian wars, the Mexi-
.'can. war, the Civil War and the war
'with Spain, the vast -sum 'of $5,215.-
'-52BV7 80 'pensions. In the light of
these ngrures- it will perhaps develop
. that the' war insurance legislation of
T? October, 1917, under the provisions
'rof which 4,000,000 policies, totaling
tr?S6,G00,0O0,O00 in insurance has
'it been written, will prove to be a good
stroks of business On the part of Un
cle Sam.
Oaptain Edward S. Brashears, a
. .leading Washington insurance man,
. who ielped organize -the War Risk
"J , Insurance Bureau, is b&ck at the
head of his general agency, and in
' .as interview he .says: -'My. advice
to every man who took ,out Govern
ment insurance is the same now as it
warn when 1 was in the service, u tell
them to keep their insurance." Cap
tain Brashears says that there, are
sixty million insurance prospects in
the United States, and he gives it as
his opinion that the government by
entering the field, is creating a psy
chology favoring bigger policies that
local agents in every town in the
country can well afford to build on.
He says that every man who has
taken insurance through the Govern-
Vment will be a booster who will in
duce his friends and relatives to take
insurance. The larger policies writ
ten by the Government, he says, sim
ply represent the increase in values
and in the "high cost of living."
"Besides," adds Captain Brashears,
"every man who takes out. a life in
surance policy, whether with the
Government, or a private company,
becomes a budding capitalist and
that's where the Bolshevist idea loses
again."
Urges Tree Planting.
Arbor Day will (take on an added
significance this year because of the
action of the Secretary of Agricul
ture in his letter to the Governor of
every State urging trees be plant-ed
in memory of the Yanks who gave
their lives in the fight for democracy.
The Department of Agriculture
promises its utmost support in pro
viding trees and in advising as to va
rieties and methods of planting. The
letter of Secretary Houston is highly
praised in Washington, especially the
paragraph reading, "Along with the
other memorials that will be erected
to our heroes, we can easily discover
ways in which we may simply pay
our tribute to them. We can keep
fresh our memory of what they gave;
and we can perpetuate their names in
familiar places. We may do this by
adorning with young trees, each
named for a fallen soldier, our way
sides, our yards and our pleasure
places. This year we may give to
Arbor Day a meaning more profound,
a purpose more' exalted, yet also an
association more personal."

WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS.
. Good Looks! Itst a new Woman's
Home Companion department and
Grace Margaret Gould is writing it
and the March issue ushers it in:
"Think for a moment how the pret
tiest face you ever saw would look
without -your hair! Very often it is
the hair that does the whole trick.
It softens and gives the right ex
pression. Very of tenr too, we remem
ber our friends by their hair, al
though we do not realize it. In fact,
the hair is a part of costume and,
like the costume, it is governed by
fashion.
"You can't wear an old-fashioned
coiffure with a new-fashioned gown
without looking absurd. Ringlets
and straight, severe ' lines don't go
together.
"But hair, even at its prettiest, is
raw material. There is really no such
thjng as sweet disorder in hair. It
has the habit of being disorderly in
wrong and unexpected places, stick
ing up and flattening down just
where you don't want it to Remem
ber, if you get your hair wrong you
may look like Betsy Bobbetr."

AT.FAT.PA WINS ITS WAY. .
The acreage of alfalfa in Kentucky
is growing quite rapidly.' The farm
ers are learning that it is cheaper for
them ta lime their land than it is for
the Western grower to irrigate his
fields. Of course, farmers have to
learn to grow alfalfa just as they
would aay other crop, with which
they were not thoroughly familiar.
The farmer, who has not grown
this wonderful forage plant, but is
interested,, can now secure "Alfalfa,"
Circular No. 70, which is .absolutely
fresh off the press. It has up-to-the-very-minute
information concerning
the preparation of the land, the care
of the crop and the harvesting of
alfalfa. The bulletin is free to the
farmer who drops the College of Ag
riculture, at Lexington, a line.
