UNIVERSITY STUDENT WILL GET BIG SALARY
Fredonia Takes Lead in Higher Salaries for School Teachers
Teachers
Predonia is taking the lead in higher salaries for school teachers, according to W. H. Johnson, of the school of education.
Miss Helen Bender, c20, was notified by a telegram on Friday from Superintendent E. A. Elliott of the Fredonia city school that she was offered the position of teacher of English and expression for next year in the high school three years with $1,600, for the nine month term.
"Miss Bender is without other teaching experience," said Professor Johnson, "that is provided by the trustees. The salary which is a good deal higher that the average was at the command of Miss Bender because she has prepared herself in the combination of elements which fills an urgent demand.
"Another current mistake is that invitations should be ordered in large quantities. I do not encourage any senior to order in quantity and orders for any amount will be accepted.
"The commonest side lines demanded are athletics, recreational activities, music, drawing, dramatics debating, journalism, mental measurements, educational measurements and the like."
Announcements will be on sale the latter part of April or early in May at a much lower price than the invitations now offered.
"It is almost a daily experience with the appointment committee, that calls for teachers who can combine with the regular high school subjects some ability along extra-curricular lines, offers from 15 to 25 per cent of salary than those calls for teachers of the regular subjects alone.
"There is a mistaken impression that the invitations are too expensive this year. tl is hardly reasonable to suppose that with the advance in price of other things the invitations remain the same.
"The senior invitations should be ordered immediately as Saturday is the last day open to orders," said E. E. Padroba today.
Mrs. F. R. Miller from Kansas City has been visiting her daughter Mildred Miller c22 at the Pi Phi house.

COLLEGE PRESIDENT
EXPLAINS CAMPAIGN
Inter-Church Movement Opened By Dr. D. W. Kurtz in Fraser Thursday Night
Dr. D. W. Kurtz, president of McPherson College, explained the InterChurch World Movement and outlined the campaign to students in the first open meeting of the campaigned in Fraser Hall Thursday night.
In his talk before several hundred men and women Dr. Kurtz said, "We were feeling when the war was over that there would be a new world. But we are facing a greater world problem than ever. The great problem of reconstruction is before us. Industry does not have a clear mind for reconstruction. The greatest challenge is to embrace them. The only thing that has a program is the Church. That is the Inter-Church Movement.
"Churches of thirty denominations have banded together in a united effort. Experts are going to all parts of the country making surveys. The movement is to bring before the people the real way of living. It is not a denominational movement. It is a call for strength in the missionary force. But most of all, in my opinion, it is the propagation of life work, the leadership in leadership in the churches. Leadership that is responsible, efficient, keen, intelligent and reasonable. College students must supply this need."
Silence on Third Term Talk i Said to Injury Party's Chances in Election
LEADERS RAP WILSON
"One-hundred thousand leaders in the next five years from the colleges and universities, is the call. The day is here when we must face humanity. We must look to the needs of the Oriental world. We must reconstitute, not simply reconstruct the old world in order to have peace and harmony on the earth.
"It is my sincere hope that you will face the problem squared during the next few days of the campaign, that you will take the problem seriously as I feel sure American students will."
Drys Intend to Support Their Own Candidates
Washington, March 25—A revolt against the party leadership of President Wilson is forming rapidly among house democrats as a result of his continued silence on the question of a third term, a canvass of prominent democrats in congress showed today.
Every day's continuation of this uncertainty injures the party's chances in the coming election Representative Kitchen, North, Carolina, Democratic leader of the house, declared today.
Dissatisfaction apparently is rampant among the democrats because Republican candidates are conducting lively campaigns while Democratic campaign plans are in a state of uncertainty since no word has been sent to the party by the White House.
Chicago, March 26—Prohibitionists map put a candidate in the race for presidency unless one of the major parties can give strong guarantees that its candidate will be for pro-abortion rights.

Fackler of the dry headquarters admitted that the prohibitionists might select its dry candidate either the republican or the democrat candidate, depending how hard they want to hold a seat in Indiana. July 21 is to be held at Lincoln, Nebraska.

ISE OPPOSES TAYLOR
Rural Economics and Farm Managemenl Declared to be Separate Subjects
"What is Rural (Economics)?" is the subject of discussion by John E. Professor of Economics, in the last edition o the Quarterly Journal of Economics. Especially interested in this phase of economics, Professor spent several years, studying material and ideas for his discussion.
In this article he takes the opposite view from Prof. H. C. Taylor, of Wisconsin, who includes in rural economies not only that part of economics which relates particularly to agriculture, but also to farming. The professor he holds that the field is too large and should be separated.
In conclusion he says, "The tendency will be, not only to separate rural economies and farm management, but even to split rural economies into two or more classes of subjects or courses. In several institutions 'this is already done.'"

"One of the greatest challenges of the future is before us," said Rev. D. W. Kurtz. "We want the kind of a world that will give us peace. At least we can get these forms of government Autocracy, Bolshevism and Democracy. It is Democracy that we desire. To have Democracy is a task as well as a skill."

BELGIUM CONNECTED WITH SCIENCE
The Reverend Kruz was dolled by Joseph of New York.

Theory enables us to see bounds of knowledge. Sciences have advanced by a series of well-ordered guesses. Cupericus and come to the conclusion that the world moves differently, that did not move. Going down the stairs, he whispered to a friend, 'But it moves nevertheless.'"
