WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DELAY IN PEACE TREATY?

Just now the administration organs, taking their cue from President Wilson and such court journals as the New York Times, are declaring that the world is drifting into anarchy because of the delay In the ratification of the peace treaty. The senate of the United States has, it is true, taken a few weeks to discuss and deliberate upon this treaty and covenant. Fully half of the time occupied in debate has •been taken up by administration senators. But President Wilson is directly responsible for a delay of months in formulating a peace treaty. And that peace treaty settled nothing because many of the troublesome problems that could have been adjudicated by the peace conferenc were left as unfinished business for a league of nations, the very existence of which had not yet been determined. The failure to settle these questions is responsible for the unrest and upheaval in Europe. No nation but Great Britain has as yet ratified the, treaty and covenant. That the senate of the United States is guilty of unnecessary delay is false. That President Wilson delayed the completion of a treaty of peace for months is

unquestionably true. That he is 'delaying it today by attempting to ‘prevent the senate from ratifying .the treaty with amendments protec- ' tive of American rights, interests and ideals is equally true. Much of this world-wide unrest is due to the raising of vain hopes by President Wilson rhetorical prospectuses. He has talked of “self--determination of nations” and of j many other themes which have , caused expectations throughout the -world impossible of fulfillment. He has talked about going over the heads governments to the people, another nam e for revolu ti on. The ' mentarianonEurapeanaffairs, ~an erstwhile champion of the league of nations, Frank Simonds, places the responsibility for the European upheaval on the frightful misconceptions which prevailed at the peace conference, the responsibility for which he places largely upon President Wilson. To attempt to unload from his shoulders to those of the senate responsibility for the frightful mess of things made at the Paris peace conference, or for the spread of revolutionary radicalism in the United States, is the very limit of mendacity and effrontery.

TEFFT.

The Tefft community supper was a success, 'both financially and socially, the sum of SSO being cleared after all expenses were met It was decided to use this sum to clear the church of debt and start the new conference year with a clean slate.

Miss, Gaddis and Mr. Hall entertained those who fortunate enough to be present with some interesting talks at the church Friday afternoon. Quite a number were present, but the church should have been crowded. Owing to a misunderstanding, both speakers were obliged to leave on the evening train and, therefore, the men did not have a talk, which was quite disappointing.

NO EXAMS REQUIRED FOR TEACHERS’ LICENSE.

A recent (bulletin issued by the Indiana State Teachers’ Training Board discusses the new law for is- 1 suing licenses for teachers without | examination. It states that the, Vesey law (1919) sets a new standard of professional attainment for teachers in the public schools of Indiana. Graduation from an approved teachers’ training course, tested experience and recognized personal and moral fitness, constitute the standard. The ultimate attainment of this standard is designated by the life state certificate AVomingjioTi 'to tpnrh those subiectS in which certain requirements have been completed in the regular college course. Without examination, graduates of accredited or approved colleges ( and' four-year normal school courses may (1) receive a provisional license for four years; and (2) after two years successful teaching during the period covered by the provisional license may make application foi< and receive a life state license to teach the subjects covered 'by the provisional'license. Approved courses are such courses as have been approved by the State Teachers’ Training board. These' must include a total of at least one hundred twenty semester hours, and a minimum of (a) twenty-four semester hours of prepared work in designated professional studies, and (b) twenty semester hours of prepared work in the subjects in which the certificate is granted, usually the major and minor subjects. Provisional certificates are issued to graduates, (beginning with 1919) from approved institutions upon authorization of the State Supervisor of Teacher Training. These

certificates must be countersigned | by the state superintendent of public instruction and are good for. four years. Only graduates of approved courses are eligible to these certificates. Graduates of classes prior to 1919 m.ay not be granted provisional certificates. These grad- ( nates, however, may apply for the life state license, provided they have met requirements of professional training, character and fi tn ess required for the provisional certificate and in addition have taught successfully at least fifty months. ' Graduates of 1919 classes should apply to their respective institutions for provisional certificates. Teachers irt\ service who are graduates of approved courses and have had the required fifty months of successful experience, should secude application blanks and make application to the state department for the life certificate. -
