ALBANY. Upon the recommendation of Superintendent Jones, the board of education voted to save the city $5,000 a year by discontinuing the Teachers' Training school, which was started in 1882, for the purpose of supplying teachers for the public schools. In his recommendations Superintendent Jones points out that the attendance at the school has been on the decline, and that it is being continued at a useless heavy expense to the city, as the local schools can be adequately supplied in the future with graduates of the State College for Teachers and from normal schools throughout the state. In the Albany schools at the present time there are 296 teachers graduated from the training school, out of 423, including substitutes. NEW YORK CITY.

The plan of obtaining the assistance of the school teachers was developed by Dr. John H. Finley, State Commissioner of Education, with the aid of Dr. MacCracken. Under the plan each teacher will be asked to talk with the children of her class concerning Government bonds and try to interest the pupils with the object of getting them to ask their parents to buy bonds. Each teacher will be expected to make a personal visit to the home of every one of her pupils with the idea of getting the parents to apply for a bond.

"Having just returned from France, I have fresh in my mind the impression received from my visits to the schools there. Everywhere the teachers were doing their regular something beyond school work to help in this time of stress. And the children were retheir various sponding in ways, particularly through their sewing and the cultivation of the fields and through their modest contributions to the help of their fellow school children whose fathers had perished in the war. "The French Minister of Public Instruction said at the opening of the schools in September, 1914, that on the first day of the school year the first word of each master to his pupils should be designed to lift the mind of each pupil to the idea of his country, and that the first lesshould be dedicated to the France's sacred struggle in which armies were engaged. son "But the idea must have expression more in something than words if it is to be effective.

Jeanes Foundation is also known, as is the most important of all of his labors-his principalship of Hampton. There, from 1893 on, succeeding the better known but not less devoted General in Armstrong, Dr. Frissell worked season and out of season for the advancement of the school, which is not only the "mother of Tuskegee,' but the parent of every one of the three hundred-odd schools of this type, and really the pioneer in the development of industrial education Dr. United States.

An excellent plan for bringing educational talent to the rural school teachers is being worked out in the "Big Nine" Counties of McPherson, Edmunds, Faulk, Campbell, Walworth, Potter, Corson, Dewey and Ziebach in the northwestern part of South Dakota. The superintendents of these counties have united their efforts and will bring Ex-Governor W. N. Ferris to each county the last of October. State Superintendent C. H.

The South American crop has practically failed; the Russian, Bulgarian and Roumanian supplies are cut off by the Teutons; and the Australian and Indian crops are too far away and too subject to U-boat perils to be depended on. The United States and Canada are the only available sources of supply. The United States can furnish 88,000,000 bushels, and Canada 120,000,000 bushels, but this leaves a shortage of 369,000,000 bushels. These figures lend force to Mr. Hoover's urgent appeal that Americans use one pound less of wheat flour each per week--which would effect a reduction of twenty per cent. in the being made good by the substitution present consumption-the difference of other cereals, of which there are plenty. THE GENERAL HARVESTS. According to the Government August crop estimates, the wheat yield this year will be smaller by 372,000,000 bushels than in 1916 and 153,000,000 bushels smaller than in because of increased acreage, prom1915. But corn and potatoes, partly ise to break all records. Oats promise the second largest crop. Altogether, the harvest now foreshadowed for the five leading grains would foot up 5,559,000,000 bushels, which would be 618,000,000 bushels ahead of last August's indication, and 864,000,000 bushels ahead of last year's actual yield. But, last year, the actual yield of the five crops ran 238,000,000 bushels under the August forecast. The final returns are usually, but not always, below the August estimates. As to wheat, there was a drop of sixteen points in condition during July, owing to drought and high temperatures. Altogether, the estimates enforce the necessity of prudence, if serious trouble is to be avoided later. THE LATEST STRIKE MENACE. The latest strike menace-and one of the most serious-is that of the shipyard workers of the Marine withdraw from all the shops in the Trades Council, who have voted to port of New York and vicinity engaged in marine work, including the ARLO AMONG THE WORLD'S CLASSICS Clara W.

In the earlier outbreaks, we had white mobs running amuck, and shooting negoes, men and women alike, without provocation.
