Prince Edward Island is not the only country in‘ the world that is worried over the question 0f teach- ers’ salaries. In the city of New York recently, to ward oﬁ’ what John F. Finley, Commissioner of Edu- cation for New York, terms a “forthcoming national calamity,” a conference was held of educational authorities from all parts of the nation to urge in- creased compensation as the only means of prevent- ing a general collapse of the public school system, due . to the increasing number of teachers called to other i more remunerative _ employlnents. Figures were given showing that 1021 teachers in that state had resigned in 1919 because of their inability to live on the salaries paid them. '

The recommendation was , made that salaries be increased from 30 to 40 per cent. on the ground that a $2000 salary represents . only $1000 ill the actual purchasingpowei“ of a dollar. The superintendent above quoted, commenting on the situation said, among other striking things, | that “the people are now paying less for teachers than they are for gasoline and in numerous instances l lnore money is paid for an automobile than for a l schoolhouse.” l ; Similar conditions prevail in Canada, in this province. What is the matter? People are. gener- ally speaking, better off today than ever before. In the commercial, industrial and professional life higher salaries are being paid than ever before; in the social life more money is spent on entertainment and amusement than ever before. Only in the matter of training and teaching the children and fitting them for future usefulness and intelligent citizenship is money paid grudgingly. We have colne, in our newly found prosperity, to place-the emphasis on selfish en? Joyment, on pleasure, on money making. The em- ployee, nlale or female, who can make money for the firm is willingly paid a. living wage; the teacher who is charged with the future welfare and usefulness of our children is not paid enough to live on decently. In our overestimate of pleasure and_selfisli iiidul- ,gence, and money making we are underestimating the things that really matter, the higher things of life, among them, the future of our children and of our country. Our civilization is becoming corrupted with materialism and selfish indulgence and unless we realize this and remedy it we shall realize when too late that we have paid a fearful price__foi' things that are not worth while and that have perisherl with the using. A few _ycars ago men willingly (ll8(l\ for this country; can not we today sacrifice a few of our pleasures, forego a few of our dollars in order that the country for which men of this geenration died may be passed on clean and unsullcd to the next gen- eration, to intelligent men and women?

It would be useless at this stage to try to account for the universal unrest agitating and disturbing practically every country in the world. It is un- questionably all aftermath of the war as the war was an aftermath and a harvest of other sealing. That the this unrest will eventually subside, as the storm sub- sides, need not be questioned; what it may in the

. meantime result in is as uncertain as is the effect of the storm. _

The Central Powers are today the storm centre. Whether the revolution in Germany will exhaust it- self and the country setttle down to a stable republic, or be plunged into a bloody and devastating civil vvar cannot safely be predicted from the despatches, often contradictory, which come t0 us from that mili- tarily cursed countijv.

Turkey, which at the close of the war, had set- tled down ill apparently abject and helpless surrend- er, is now perhaps the most menacing spot in Europe and capable of infinite mischief. Standing between the inflammable east alld the commercially ambiti- ous west her power for evil is unlimited. To drive Turkey out of Europe was one of the problems of the war aild apparently all easy one. All thatwas re- quired was to defeat her and this was done. Now she has slid over to Asizi amid peoples whose ignorance and fanaticism she has already enlisted and what the end may be is one of the mysteries which it-were useless to try to unravel.

Persia, Mesopotamia, India, Egypt-all inflam- mable and fanatical faggots awaiting the torch of the incendiary and fanatical Mohammedan Turkey carries the torch.

The Central Powers were defeated in war; they gladly submitted to the terms dictated by the united and victorious Allies and the terms would have been fulfilled to the last dollar and the last man had the Allies remained united. Unfortunately the Allies did not. The United States refused acquiescence in the terms agreed upon and the moment our enemies realized this they began haggling for terms, for time, for concessions. The sane portion of Germany want- ed peace; the. pan Germans and. the other groups which still adhered to the monarchy and the Hohen- zollerns also wanted peace but a peace of their own

making and today we have what we have; what to- aunt; will bring forth no o y ~ knows. . . -

Chewing Gum Ami Chalnpillg Germs

Are influenza victims chewors 0i gum. as a rule’! if they are. then the fact will strengthen a growing belief in certain scientific circles than, the mysterious germ which is supposed to be respon- sifble for this plague is frequently carried in clllcle. which is the bas- lc material from which gum is made. An outbreak of“‘flu" in Mexico-land Yucatan, which rec- enlly has been reported seems to _be chiefly confined t0 those engag- ied in the gathering of chicle. This led to an investigation, which dis- closed tho disquieting fa-ct that various bacteria grew ill the ﬁnish- ed gum product, and tillls might .be shipped lo distant lands. Since i the chicle is sent all over the world ‘this might explain the otherwise ‘anfuzingly rapid spread of influen- ‘zn, which fins been‘ one of its most remarkable features. if was believed by some authorities that the germs might have been carried in wood and sent all over the world In the course of the war, as a result of the tremendous iiuili- ber of new wooden ships that were built. and the great lumber grade. Thus, even if none of the passeng- ers carried the germs, they might be dissenliilated at grey ound speed by means of the infected wood. The smile speed or , even greater would he made if they went ill chewing gum, which iii its small- er parcels, would go "by express.

The Antls’ , Defence-

lJuf whether an investigation shall prove gum gulltless, it will not destroy‘ the theories of a lluni- ber of scientists who believe the gum chewing habit ‘to lessen the powers if l-esisliirce to the "flu" and other germs. it is. known that the normal secretions of the‘ mouth have antiseptic properllesﬂlnd it is supposed that nature intended lo proiccl man froiii the various germs that might enter the system by the nose and nloulli by equipping lillii with a defensive SLlllViLl. 1t is said that in llie saliva of‘ healthy persons various deleterious germs are always to be found, but they are in process of being sterilized. il is possible that. the saliva may be deprived of these valuable anti- septic properlics. and olic theory ls that lhc (ﬁOllz-Eiillll-Cllewlllf; of gum lends to have this effect.

Paul Bar- lliolow explains to the readers of the New York 'I‘i|ilcs, the nlusclcs of chcxvlnl: arc tired and weakened by- being constantly and absent- liiindedly employed at chomping gum.

Gum chewers may object that the exercise en; tailed in this forill of entertainmcnl ought to have the effect of siren- gtheniilg the muscles rather than iveakeiling them, and i1 glance n! the lilws of confirmed chewcrs would sccili to bear them out.

THE RIGHTS OF McGlLL

ThtVMcGill University at Mon- lreal may perhaps be a little sur- prised lo find how many friends it has Ill this country zealous lo vin- (llPll-ii! its rights. There is a nlovc which we are convinced will be universally deprecated. except pos- sibly in Downing Street. to de- prive it of its PrincipallElect. That honorable position was early last year offered to and accepted by Sir Auckland Geddes.‘ The new Principal shouidlhave taken up his duties last September. but owing to his well-known indispensablllty in this country he was granted a special respite for another twelve months. Lat-terly grave rumors have begun to reach McGlll. Ill- deeil,,lls new Principal himself has gone so far as to hint that he saw iin reason for resigning his seal at Baslngstoke in the near future. Now a much more sinister report has gained currencylt is said that Slr Auckland Geddes has been of- fered the post bf British Ambas- sador at Washington. McGillls en- lltled to be indignant. as well as ﬂl‘ armed. She would be even if it were a question of nlaklng a good Ambassador out of a bad ‘Princip- nl. As it is, since Slr‘ Auckland Geddes doubtless possesses all the gifts that would qualltfy _ hiin for Montreal, and certainly possesses not one that would qualify llini for Washington, the,case of McGill is unassuilabie. It may rest assur- “d that the iliass of the citizens of this country are wllh it. would reconcile themselves to re- leasing Slr Auckland even if ll cost ns much to lake leave of_ him as ft cost the North Eastern 1o take leave of his brother.

The Chicle and the Fungus

The point ls that in these coni- Doslliolls and in other varieties of chewing gum germs can live, and lllny be introduced lo the mouth. if the germs not only enter the mouth. but enlcr a nioulh that has been enfeebled by l1 constant chew- ln-g of the gum, it is easllly Imagin- ed that they may chse trouble. But it appears that even in pure chlele, germs may lodge with com- fort. The chlcle, of course, 33 3]] men who have about their lives in extracting it know, is a juice or gum that ﬂows out the chicle plant whose habitat is ‘fucatan and Mex- ico. The frees are tapped like the sugar maple, [and exude a milky sap. This is boiled iind clariﬁed and forms the basis of the best gum. Now this sap is pure, and if kept ln the dry air ls not much more likely to harbor germs than so much iron; but if a small amount of moisture reaches All, there are certain‘ forms of fungus llfe which attack ll.

“General Heudquartersfireut Bri- tain will be abolished with effect from February 1‘, 1920. Though he remains on the active list of the Arnly, and his services are still at the disposal of the State, the Army Coulloll desire to give expression tothelr very high appreciation of the illustrious services which Field biarsllali {he Earl Hnig, K.

-_-_<+>-i- THE NEW RUSSIAN TYRANNY.

(Manchester Guardian.)

The strange tendency among the Labor party to ideniize Bolshevlsill shows the violence of the revolt against ilarllamentiii-y ileillocracy as well as the ignorance of those who profess those sympathies. For those who have had access to first- hand information about Russia "there is no doubt or mystery about the situation there. The revolution bcgan with a mutiny of lilo army, which had been shamefully mis-_ handled and betrayed by‘a corrupt and incompetent government. it was miptured at last by u body of (fonimunlsts. who did not even pro- tend to reprcscill the majority of the people. Tllﬁﬂg niell by a clev- cr stroke seized simultaneously all the nrms, nloney, and food in the country. and thereby paralyzed all resistance. They proceeded to set up such a tyranny as is possible only in that classic land‘ of tyran- nlos; but it is for more crushing than its predecessors. The lltllo finger of Lenin is thicker than the lolns of Nicholas 1, in whose reign lho autljocracy of the Tflilfg cul- minated. Tile (‘ommunists at onco acted on a time-honored device of nutoerals. synllbollzed by Tarquin the ‘Proud, tile last king of ffoine, who, as he walked in his garden. flicked off the head of every flowci- which was a littio taller than its neighbors. Tile whole of lhemro- periicd and educated irlnss were massacred, starved, or expelled, so that nothing remained‘ to break the dead level of servitude. Russia ls a vast prison, a nation consisting of an nutrocrat and n hundred million slaves, “l shall not call a consti- luent assembly." said Lenin, “for il is not the business of the 111115505 lo govern, but -to obey‘ those who know Wllfli. is good for them."

But lily latest information is that the country is absolutely denuded of its natural leaders, illlfl‘ in such ull abject con- dition of misery and prostrution, that Russia cannot be dangerous to her neighbors for many years to come. The influence of Bolsllevlk propaganda in other colmllrles has probably been exaggerated ‘by the fears of those who see, as In a nightmare, the approach of a storm which will leave nothing of civiliza- tion standing.
