The position taken by the Teachers’
Union, as we understand it, is that their
services are worth more than they are
being paid at present and that if they are
not given a reasonable increase- they will
take up some other business or go else-
where to teach. 1
The school districts. also have their
rights. They have the right to expect and
to demand service that will be commensu-
rate with the salary they pay. If they pay a
first class workman’s wage they will ex-
pect first class work and not doubt supple-
ments will be voted on this principle. The
best schools will vote sufficient supplement
to secure the best teachers and, this~ done,
we have no doubt best teachers will be
forthcoming.
We trust that at the meetings about to
be held full provision will be made to en-
sure the maintenance of the highest pos-
sible standard. This can be done only by
voting such supplements as will induce
good teachers to accept the position.

BLIND SOLDIERS' IIOSTEL
All _
We are in receipt of the third annual
report of St. Dunstan’s Hostel for blinded
soldiers and sailors, just issued by the
Blinded Soldiers and Sailors’ Care Commit-
tee of which Sir Arthur Pearson, Bart., is
ahairman. _
The work done in this institution is
,perhaps the most wonderful yet -done for
the soldiers. To quote from the report “it
is a place full of wonders-the wonders of
tragedy turned to joyful content, of help-
lessness turned to capability, of 'coura-
geous resolution in the conquest of appar-
ently overwhelming difficulties, of daunt-
less determination and of truest heroism.”
Of all the wounds and disablements re-
ceived in battle apart from the wrecking of
either physical or mental health or both,
blindness might ordinarily be regarded as
the worst,tha,_t could hapgen. Yet even
this terrible affliction has een veeiy large-
ly overcome at St. Dunstan’s. en are
tai;ght_ trades by which they become
sel sustaining; they are given hope and
courage and inspiration to begin againto
fightithe battle of life. According to the
report the men “are “taught to be blind,”
to make their blindness the normal condi-
tion and “to keep on keeping on” in that
condition. The soldier, to begin with, is a
hero". He had proved this on°the field of
battle and while life. remains he remains a

-PARIS AS A PRIZE
A
Paris is the chief capital of civilization
within striking distance of the Germans.
They wanted it badly in 1914,
and they want it worse now.
Not for stragetic reasons, but
for political reasons. The capture of Paris
would not, in reality, bring the Germans
very appreciably nearer-to' victory than
anything else they could achieve on the
western front. 1 _  .
' Success in the north, with the capture
of the Channel ports, would mean much to
the militarists and the commercialists. But
it wouldn’t`look half so much like victory
to the mass of the German people as the
taking of Paris, the heart of France. And,
when the tide is turned and in defeat Ger-
many is forced to relinquish her conquests,
as her leaders probably admit to themselves
she will be, the .temporary possession of the
Channel ports would not remain long in
memory as a German victory, but the fall
of Paris would stand as a testimony to the
might of German arms. _ _
Paris was the glittering goal for which
the Germans strove in the first drive of
1914, ignoring all else. The road to Calais
was less obstructed. But they passed by
the opening and headed for the capital of
France, returning toward the Channel
ports only when they had been hurled back
from Paris and definitely blocked in their
ambition. And it is the same this year.
The offensive of_ March was started in the
direction of Paris, and was later pointed
toward the coast when the defence in front
of Paris stopped progress there. Now, a
supreme attempt to reach Paris over _the
shortest route is under way, the advanta-
ges gained weeks ago in the direction of
Dunkirk being allowed to rest.
To ensure the great-estpolitical effect
should the venture. succeed, the Crown
Prince is directing the attack. If the Kais-
er’s monstrous ambition is defeated and
Germany has only loss as reward for her
sacrifices, Wilhelm can go to his people
and point to the odds against which he
failed; he can jushifie his failure to secure
for Germany her ‘ place in the sun” on the
plea-that he could not win against the
world. It would mean much to him then
to have the capture of Paris to hiscredit.
He could claim that he had carried Germa-
ny to victory over her original adversaries,
by the coming of the millions of Americans.
Paris would be the Hohenzollern’s vindica-
tion before his people, but the hope is gone.
The road to Paris is again closed to the
Hun. _
