PENNSYLVANIA.

PHILADELPHIA. William C. Ash, principal of the Philadelphia Trades School, will conduct summer courses for teachers this summer at the University of Pennsylvania. The State Department of

Education and the Federal Board for Vocational Education will finance these courses, which will be free to properly qualified students, and credit toward a university degree will be granted under certain conditions.

The board of education is on record for military training as per the following:

"Resolved, That military training be introduced into the high schools as an elective subject and that a special committee be appointed by the chairman to consider the scope of military training, the cost required and the methods for raising this sum."

"The governor was particularly impressed with the splendid constructive work of the agricultural colleges, which are rendering the farmer and the business man notable service.

"The men at the head of the agricultural institutions are strong, capable men and enjoy the fullest confidence of the general public. They are serving the people and as an evidence of the appreciation on the part of the people liberal appropriations are made to support the institutions. In January it is planned to hold a twoweeks' farmers' short course at Little Rock, led by Professor P. G. Holden.

The governor said: "We believe that Arkansas farmers are entitled to the best and that they can raise pure bred cows that sell for as high as $7,500, as a Shorthorn did at Maryville, Mo.; that they can raise animals that sell for $16,500; that they can raise hogs, averaging from 500 to 1,000 pounds as three-year-olds, and that they can develop the dairy industry to such an extent that a cow under exceptional conditions can give 105 pounds or thirteen gallons of milk a day, as was true in Wisconsin. We actually saw one cow that produced $1,000 worth of milk per year; we saw a hog that had just sold for $2,500 and we visited a number of farms where the late spring auction sales for from forty to seventy-five of pure bred cattle realized from $60 to $110 for each animal. But such conditions can only be proved when intensive attention is given to the raising of feed-stuffs, when we utilize to our fullest extent our natural pasture lands and realize that even $75 or $100 land can and should be used for pasture, and when scrub bulls are prevented from running at large."

STATESVILLE. A report from the Statesville public schools shows twenty-one war savings societies organized and at work, with over $6,000 invested in stamps by the children. Their goal is $10,000, which they expect to reach

before December 31.

ROCKINGHAM. The Rockingham city schools, with an enrollment of 500 pupils, have bought $10,127 of War Savings Stamps, which is a per They capita ownership of $20.25. have invested also $7,200 in Liberty Bonds, and since March 13 have contributed $166.12 to the Red Cross.

MADISON. At the State University there are in the summer military drill and many technical session sixteen special war courses, courses in engineering, medicine, and agriculture designed to help course before entering the army students to speed up their college or other war work.

A total of 852 degrees and diplomas of graduation were conferred upon the members of the graduating class at the annual

commencement exercises at the University of Wisconsin. With the 179 who were graduated during the year since last June the total number of graduates for the year is 1,031.

struggle so vast and momentous as to demand the most complete support of every one of its citizens. Passive loyalty the loyalty of peace timesis not sufficient. The brand of loyalty now demanded is the kind that impels one to offer himself and his all, if necessary, that his country may be victorious in the great conflict.

Most of us cannot go into the fighting forces; most of us cannot enter into those industries directly connected with the war, but all of us can

are eight elementary and kindergarten teachers, seven elementary principals, six county superintendents, six city superintendents, six high school principals, five assistant city superintendents, three high school teachers, two university professors, two supervising principals, one normal school president.

SAN DIEGO. The war between the students of the San Diego High School and the City Board of Education over the dismissal of the principal and nineteen teachers reached a climax when the board announced the high school year at an end and cancelled the commencement exercises, class play and other features of commencement week.

The board on June 16 ordered the students, who had been on a strike for more than a week, to return to school, but, after a long discussion, the students refused to do so. The board announced that it will issue diplomas to the graduates and that it will grant a hearing to the dismissed teachers, which had been refused.

LONG BEACH. Superintendent W. L. Stephens reports the war work of the schools as certainly over the top. With 6,900 pupils in the schools there were 6,487 in the Junior Red Cross, raising $3,180. There were 1,460 children with successful war gardens, cultivating 155 acres. The teachers have invested in Liberty Loan Bonds $54,250, and in War Savings Stamps prior to the present "drive," $2,369. By pupils and teachers than $300,000 were invested in government bonds and stamps. The schools have entered heart and soul into phase of war activity.

American who buys a Liberty Bond and forthwith sells it has performed only half a service for his country. To buy bonds and then sell them immediately tends to make the war burden of

the country heavier instead of lighter, as it decreases the market value of the bonds.

Liberty Bonds are the safest and soundest and one of the best investments in the world. To sell them unless imperatively required is not good business, is not good Americanism.

Small, Maynard & Co., Inc., take pleasure in announcing that they have recently moved from 15 Beacon Street into new and larger quarters at 41 Mt. Vernon Street. They have recently enlarged their entire force, both office and selling, and with a splendid list of new books for 1918 stand ready to give the book trade and book readers the best and most efficient service possible.

Loyalty in War Time Loyalty in peace times and loyalty in war times are two distinct things. Not much is required to pass the loyalty test when one's country is not at war; a simple compliance with the law is all that is required.

But loyalty in war times is not a passive quality. At such a time one may be without loyalty and still not be disloyal. A person of this type will do nothing either to assist or to harm his country. He will not give himself to his country's service and he will not contribute financial support. Neither will he discourage others from doing this. He will do or sav nothing treasonable, and neither will he do or say anything to put heart in the fighting forces or to uphold the nation in its struggle. He will be simply a passive onlooker. And that is not being loyal.

Our country is fighting in the most desperate struggle of history. It is a

right brand of patriotism.

Our Government is urging upon us the necessity of saving as an essential to victory. We are told that there is not enough man power and not sufficient materials in the country to win a quick victory if we continue to use this man power and these materials as we did before the war. It is pointed out that there are now more than 2,000,000 men in the army and navy and that by August 1 this number will be increased to 3,000,000, with a steady addition to that number from then on. These men not only cease to be producers, but they become sumers on a vast scale.

con

Thus it is that we are urged to buy only those things which we need in order that we shall not use up labor and waste materials and transportation, so vitally necessary to the Government in its war work and so much needed in the manufacture of things essential to the health and efficiency of our citizens.

By following the Government's request to produce to our maximum capacity and to consume as little as possible, we shall give practical expression to our loyalty a militant loyalty, the brand which stamps us as being at home by willing to do our part sacrificing, by getting down to a war basis, by backing up our Government with all our strength. With our

money savings we can then buy War Savings Stamps and perform a double service by giving the Government current funds with which to buy the labor and materials so much needed for war purposes which refrained we have from using. That is loyalty.

St. Nicholas

St. Nicholas for July fairly glows with patriotism. The number opens with an article by Ralph Henry Barbour that will stir the pulse and touch the heart of every American. It is entitled "America Pays Her Debt" (or begins to pay it) and it describes the ardent, affectionate welcome given by the French people to the United States soldiers who have crossed the sea to fight side by side with their comrades of the allied nations for the liberation of France from its ruthless invaders. A. Russell Bond, managing editor of "The Scientific American," lays before American young folk all the latest information concerning those latest monsters of ordnance, "Guns and Super-Guns." The illustrations are very striking. In the St. Nicholas League the young readers of the magazine take a hand in supplying patriotic verse of remarkable excellence to the subject "When Drums Are Beating"; while their comrades also keen the colors flying in brief but admirable tales entitled "A July Story." Even the department "For Very Little Folk" contains, this month, set of easily-remembered clever rhymes of a patriotic nature, with illustrations.

During the present War Savings campaign asked by the President and by Secretary McAdoo to pledge ourselves to save and with our savings to buy at definite times a specific amount of War Savings Stamps. Why should we be called upon to do this and why should we do it? We are called upon to do it be cause, as President Wilson says, this is a war of nations, not of armies, and everyone in the land must do his share. So far more than 2,000,000 men have gone into the army and navy and 1,000,000 more are to join before August 1. These 3,000,000 men give themselves as their donation to the war. The remaining 97,000,000 people left at home must give something else as their sharę.

REGISTRATION, application, appointment, within two weeks, at an advance of $300

in salary, is the experience of a principal in western New York who sent in his registration on June 7. It is not always the case that we can fit in a man at once so easily, but the rule nevertheless holds good that the candidate who is sure of what he wants when he registers and is ready to make for it when the Agency offers it to him, wany w make APPLICATION co-operating in every way possible, is reasonably sure of being placed sooner or later.
