x RETIRED TEACHERS URGED
. TO RETURN TO SCHOOLS
That laws or ordinances prohibit
ing: married women from teaching
in the public schools be suspended
- or repealed in order to afford a
3 supply of teachers to teplace the
3 large number leaving the schools for
' war work, is recommended by P. P.
Claxton, United States commissioner
1 of education, in a letter rent to city.
1 state and county authorities.
Commissioner Claxton points out
1 that from every part of the country
come reports of large numbers of
- teachers leaving the schools to enter
s some primary or secondary military
t service of the country or to engage
- in clerical, commercial, or industrial
s occupations at salaries or wages much
s larger than they received as teech
s ers. On the other hand, reports
from the normal schools indicate
- that the number of students graduat
) ing from them this spring will be
a less than last year.
] In order that the teachers thus
returning to the service may be
thoroughly in touch with the de
mands in education. Dr. Claxton sug
gests that summer schools pro' ide
special classes for these former
teachers and make special effort to
induce as many as possible of ihem
to attend.
Eskimos of White Mountain, a
village lying near Nome, recently do
nated one hundred dollars to the

■SM SAVINS STAMPS
ISSUES BY THE
UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT
“Help your country”
| Says Secretary McAdoo.
“I write to ask you to help your country.
“You can do so and also help yourself in
a very simple manner.
“Many of us can not fight, but every one
of us can help by saving. Every dollar
saved and not spent on unnecessary things
releases that amount of labor and material
to make articles for our Army and Navy.
When a dollar that is saved is loaned to the
Government it is doubly effective.
“To that end Congress has authorized the
sale of War Savings Stamps in denomina
tions of $5 and 25 cents, respectively. Each
War Savings Stamp you buy is a loan to
the United States Government, is a direct
help to every soldier and sailor who is risk
ing his life in the war, and is a safe and
simple way to invest your savings.
“The United States Government pledges
its entire resources and credit to repay this
loan on January 1, 1923, with 4 per cent in
terest.”
