There is an indication of contentment and restfuluess

The call to the land is something that meets with the approval of many men and women who trace hdr ancestry back to the eld farm.

One need expect no startling results front these measures.' If love of France Is not enough of a stimulus to the French people to produce in generou3 supply sons and daughters to 6erve her, taxes, bonuses ami medals are not likely to prove effective. Since the complicated conditions of modern civilization have caused a demand for comforts and education for children thatT'vas not felt when society was In a more primitive state, they have become more of a liability than an asset. France must rely on love of country to save her from race suicide.

HEW TEACHERS' LAW STIRS UPQUEST1S Minimum Wage Law Passed By Special Session ExExcites Interest.

Virtually all the salons were fir lhbill for the reason that it offered r--l:e to the teachers and they were a l convinced that many Jfo.-ier teaih-rs are underpaid. Directly the law Increase." teachers' salaries, but Indirectly it. tjoes much further than this. The clause In tho measure providinif that no tearhT shall receive less than $S00 for a school year eems a reasonable and simp:-3 matter on the aurface for no on will assert that ny liunian beintf chould receive lea than this amount for a year service bnt it revolutionizes rural school standards. The fact remains that in sixty-seven counties n Indiana in 191 the avragc wage piald to teachers of oneroom sboois was only $513. In thu future the average will be much higher than this for even the most ticht fisted trustee will be forced to pay JS00.09. In the first plare. these one-room rural shools have loeYn operatinkr oi'y six and aeven months a yenr. In rases where there ls only a small att-nd-ance In these schools It will be prohibitive to pay the teacheis $$0 a ye-tr for only 1k months of servirei as the per cajnta cost for the education of the children would he enormous.

For the last two years the state superintendent of public instruction has been waging war against the rural school ai it exists in many localities In Indiana. Surveys taken disclosed that many of the old one-room schools were a disgrace to the educational system of the state. for a time it seemed that the war would have to be drawn out many years as the old time inadequate school was firmly entrenched and some communities were loath to pay higher taxes in order to afford their children modern, high class educational facilities , It now seems that the special session minimum wage law accompl ishes in one stroke about all that h3d been hoped fir and that in another year or two the Iloosier educnt ional standard will be raised to the front ranks among the states. Tiie law will n-U be fully effective in revolutionizing conditions this year.
