intendent of public instruction replied that the candidate for this office must hold these qualifications at the time of the November election. The differences of opinion concerning this ruling led to a review of the whole matter by the attorney general's office, which led to an opinion to the effect that these qualifications must be held at the time of induction into office. This places the procedure squarely in line with that laid down in the teachers' certificating law, namely, that a teacher must hold a certificate of qualification at the time. she enters upon her duties.

Hold Your Liberty Bonds The effort to separate Liberty Bond holders not familiar with stock and bond values from their Liberty Bonds has taken a new turn. The manipulators instead of offering to buy the bonds at inadequate prices offer in exchange for them the stocks and bonds of various wildcat corporations, whose face value is large but whose actual value is little or nothing. The safest investment in the world is a Liberty Bond. For a patriotic American, Liberty Bonds are the best investment in the world. It is not only a wise thing to hold them, it is a patriotic thing to do. The soldier that takes a trench and then voluntarily gives it up is not to be compared with one who takes a trench and holds it against the enemy. An American who buys a Liberty Bond and then sells it is who buys a bond and holds it. This not so good an American as one does not apply, however, to one who sells his bond because of real necessity; there is legitimate trading in Liberty Bonds which the treasury recognizes. It was a wise and patriotic old colored American who refused to sell his $100 Liberty Bond for $96. because he would not give up the United States' promise (his bond) to pay him $100 with interest for the United States' promise (currency) to pay him $96, and who refused to sell the same bond for $102, because, he said, that the $102 must be counterfeit or else the would-be pur. chaser would not be willing to give it for only $100. It is safe to say that there are no gold bricks or wildcat securities among that American's assets. They also serve who buy War Savings Stamps-if they save and' buy to the utmost of their ability, and buy in time. The Week in Review Continued from page 465. has taken place abounds with proofs of the wilful devastation of villages that were never within range of artillery, but were found razed to the ground. Orders for the burning of Juniville, for example, were received on the day of evacuation, and, though the people pleaded with the officers to spare their homes, the torch was put to every house. Mont St. Remy shared the same fate. At Neuville, a villager implored that his house might be spared, and the officer replied: "I know it is an ignoble task, but such are orders." All this goes to show that the vandalism deliberate and officially ordered. was TEACHERS' AGENCIES PLACES are constantly arising for any teachers who are free to accept them.

That the United The Pratt Teachers' Agency States Government should permit the distribution of such a cargo from an enemy country in time of war might well occasion surprise; but a more extraordinary circumstance still is the fact that the cargo, according to an officer of the ship, was brought over chiefly "to oblige the United States State Department after numerous requests, extending over a long period, had been made by it at the instigation of the importers." To the average American, it would appear that it would be better that American children should get along with fewer toys for Christmas or should be content with those of home 70 Fifth Avenue New York MERICAN TEACHERS' AGENCY introduces to Colleges, and FOREIGN Schools and Families, superior Professors, Principals, Assistants, Tutors and Governesses, for every department of instruction; recommends good Schools to parents.

McFee REFRESHING in its freedom from technical phraseology, this new book for teachers will be found to be a reliable source of everyday help. It covers a wide variety of the perplexities with which every teacher has to deal. Its friendly, commonsense suggestions are the outcome of an unusually successful teaching experience. It is entirely without "frills" or "fads," yet it is enthusiastic and up to date. In dealing with the physical, the mental and the moral training of the child it offers advice which is thoroughly practical. One of its best features is its index, which makes it instantly available for the teacher's desk use. A handbook for teachers covering in detail the methods which have been demonstrated to be the most practical and valuable in forming and handling immigrant classes. It shows what to teach, how to teach it, and the standards to be expected. The book is the outgrowth of an Extension Course for teachers offered by the State Normal School at Lowell in co-operation with the Department of University Extension of the State Board of Education of Massachusetts. 75 cents. WHY GREGG SHORTHAND "THE NATIONAL SYSTEM" IS BEST When a shorthand system has been indorsed by seventy-five per cent. of the Boards of Education of the country whose high schools teach shorthand, it is natural to inquire why? SIMPLICITY: The simplicity of Gregg Shorthand makes it easy to learn and easy to teach. Students succeed with it; become enthusiastic; study with greater interest; acquire greater skill than with other systems. Incidentally it relieves the teacher of much drudg ery. LEGIBILITY: The connective vowels and distinctive longhandslope forms make Gregg Shorthand easy to write and easy to read. Gregg Shorthand is the most legible of all rapid systems. SPEED: Smooth flowing characters and brevity of form give it the greatest speed of any system. Gregg Writers have been awarded speed certificates from the National Shorthand Reporters' Association for speeds up to 268 words a minute. Not more than half a dozen writers of any other system have ever equalled this speed in the contests and these have had from two to seven times the experience of the Gregg Writers. ADEQUATE TEXTBOOKS: We publish a complete series of textbooks that enable both teacher and student to achieve maximum results in the minimum time. Let us show you how easily Gregg Shorthand may be introduced into your school. THE GREGG PUBLISHING COMPANY New York TO MAKE YOUNG AMERICANS PATRIOTIC, USE AS A TEXTBOOK DR. WILLIAM H.
