It is an emergency, problem. The "public schools of the state and the nation are facing the most serious crisis In their history. At a time when their service should be of the best and highest order, their efficiency and integrity are imperiled by the threatened wholesale withdrawal of teachers, by the sharp decrease in enrollments of the normal schools and other training institutions, and by the general lowering of standards of preparation and work of teachers. The efficiency of the public schools rests fundamentally upon the character, attainments, insight, and 'skill of the public school teacherB. What Is the real status of teaching today? Teaching an Unstable Calling. More than one-half of the public school teachers are immature; they remain only a short time in the work t teaching; their general education is wholly inadequate; their professional equipment is deplorable meager. Of tlie approximately fiOO.OOO public Bchool teachers in the United States: Two hundred fifty thousand are 21 years of age and under; 300,000 remain in service five years and less; 300,000 have had no more than four years of education beyond the eighth grade.

The cover and two of the pages of the Bible, showing the Armenian script and decorations. Bound in stiff black leather, worn an- torn from passing through countless hands, and written anywhere from 800 to 1,000 years ago, probably in some old Armenian monastery, is a small Bible owned by G. E. Atkinson, social secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of St. Jose, Cal. The little volume came to Mr. Atkinson from his brother, a medical worker in Turkey, who lost his life while in service. Although it is so old the book is legible still. The pages of the Bible are of papyrus, now yellow with age. The characters of the ancient Armenian tongue, which is now entirely out of use even in Armenia, are carefully written by hand.

Pennington on Committee for Inter church Work; Religious Leaders Meet INDIANAPOLIS, March 2. Adoption of the interchurch world movement program of co-operation among all Protestant evangelical churches as the only means of accomplishing the aims of the Christian church, was urged by speakers at the conference of ministers and women of Indiana, held under the auspices of the interchurch movement, Monday afternoon and night. Both conferences were continued

Tuesday. The women's conference

will close tonight and the ministers will continue their meetings until Wednesday evening.

The ministers Monday night authorized the appointment of a com

mittee on findings which will draw up

a declaration to be presented to the conference concerning the interchurch movement. The committee as appointed consists of the Rev. Levi T. Pennington, Richmond; the Rev. J. A. Dunkel, the Rev. George Savary, the Rev. T. W. Grafton, and the Rev. Carlos M. Dinsmore. Indianapolis; the Rev. J. W. Norris, North Manchester, and the Rev. W. G. Seaman, Gary. Interchurch Movement. Concerning the interchurch world movement, Bisnop Nicholson said: "The interchurch movement is a sober, well planned, serious effort to unify and marshal the forces of united Protestantism for the tremendous task of making civilizations really Christian. It is born of the unwavering confidence of the leaders of the church in the adequacy of Jesus Christ and his program for the world's need." "These leaders also see that the church with all its achievements, has only been touching the fringes of the problem. They now prepare to move together, to survey the whole task, to attack the problem with the thoroughness, the business skill, and the cool judgment of the modern business world, coupled with all the faith and zeal of the early Christian church. "In my judgment, it is the most compelling movement, the most hopeful undertaking for civilization, the most worth while of any in our generation." Prosecution Ready to Rest in Newberry Case

It is the only one of the kind in the state and may be the only one iHClt tae entire country. It is Meriden. city of the third class in Jefferson county. The members of the city council, consisting of five men, have voted against improving the Meriden streets and against participating in the government aid for highways.

The plan must be submitted to Premier Millerand before becoming effective. "In the debate which developed during the meeting as to where the needed materials might be found," the newspaper says, "the exchange situation between Europe and the United States was considered as hindering purchases and Premier Lloyd-George, of Great Britain, urged exchanges with Russia, particularly for wheat. There was, therefore, only a step to be taken toward making a direct agreement with the soviet government for exchanges which were previously arranged for with the Russian cooper

MYSTERIOUS RADIO MESSAGES FROM EVIL SPIRITS HE SAYS PORTLAND, Ind.. March 2. Mysterious messages, which have been recorded for the last year or more by wireless stations and which are thought by some persons to be from another planet such as Mars, were explained to an audience here by Benjamin H. Boyd, of New Yory city, speaking under the auspices of the International Bible Students. Boyd said these mysterious mesfares were rone other than the meddling of evil spirits, floundering in the atmosphere above the continent. He said be would not be surprised to hear soon that these spirits would communicate messages that could be understood and would purport to be from Mara explaining how much in advance the planet of Mars Is.

PASSES EXTENDED According to instructions received at the Pennsylvania office, the time limit upon season passes for railroad employes has been extended until March 31. The passes were to have become void on Jan. 1 but were to hold good until March 1. when new ones were to be issued. The latest extension of 30 days was made because of the great amount of work to be disposed of before the pass question could be taken up.

States Rights to Tax Incomes Upheld by Court WASHINGTON, March 2. Right of the state to impose income taxes on non-residents provided they are in harmony with those imposed on residents, was upheld and defined Monday by the supreme court in two decisions. In a case from Oklahoma the court held that a state unquestionably had the authority to levy income taxes against non-residents on incomes derived from property within the state. In a New York case, however, the court declared that such taxes against non-residents must not be discriminatory. The Oklahoma income tax law was sustained and the New York law was declared void in so far as it denies to non-residents exemptions which are given New York citizens. Both opinions were given by Justice Pitney, with Justice McReynolds dissenting in the New York case. Exemptions were involved in both suits, similar to the federal income tax law, provided for married and single persons.

Distinction between the Oklahoma 1

and New York laws, it appears, was that the Oklahoma law gives non-resi-denta and citizens the same exemp

Thomas W. Miller, chairman of the special military committee of the American Legion, in an address at Washington, declared the legion's fight for universal military training would be continued, regardless of the action of the congress in sidetracking the issue. Mr. Miller said: "It must not be forgotten that the terms of the members of the present congress, as well as all legislation pending, do not expire un

til March 4, 1921." He presented to the state military committee a series of proposed changes in the pending senate army bill, which, he said, were urged in order to "make doubly sure that the president and secretary of war, and

not a general clique, would run the army." His proposals included an amendment to place the organization and administration of the national guard in time of peace directly in the hands of the several states. Another suggestion was that regular officers be not eligible to command units of the national guard.
