SCHOOL BOARD
SEEKS CHANGES
commissioners lndorse New
Plan for Appropriating
Money for Salaries.

w. V. Cox. chairman of the ways
and means committee OF the Board Of
Education, has forwarded to the Com
missioners copy Of letter addressed
10 Representative Washington Gard
ner. chairman OF the subcommittee on
appropriations, in which ne suggests a
change IN the manner OF apprOpriating
the salaries Of teachers.
Mr.. Cox recommends that IN place Of
designating the number OF teachers and
the salary paid TO each there be
inserted in the estimate an item fer
l646 teachers at the minimum salaries
OF the class OF their positions, which
SHAH be paid out of a total appropria-
ton o. $l,245.s25.
Mr.. Cox says that the interests Of
the Government are absolutely safe
guarded by this method. There uld
be no abuse Of an appropriation in this
fern, for neither the total number Of
teachers nor the aggregate amount OF
money appropriated could be exceeded
nor could an individual teacher receive
an amount that would not be speclfi-
eally authorized by law.
Commissioner West has approved the
recomme ndatlon.

HUMUS IN THE SOIL

The statement is very frequently
made that marsh soils must be fertile
since they produce an. abundant nat
ural vegetation. This argument, how,
ever, lis not conclusive. II Is very
probable that the growth made each
year Is In large part the result OF
the decomposition Of the crop Of the
preceding, year.
When all these facts are considered
1t seems very probable that the chief
action Of vegetable matter with ref,
erence to fertility Of the soil IL In sun.
plying the crops with its content Of
the various elements. The black
humus. which is residual product
formed under natural conditions
where the soil is not well drained and
Is not cultivated, has In itself very
little II any direct action OF chem
ical nature which affects the fertility
Of the soil Indeed it seems quite pos
sible that this inert, waxy humus may
be injurious, inasmuch as II forms q
coating around soil grains and thus
prevents natural weathering BY the
action of soil water containing carbon
dioxide and acids resulting from the
decomposition Of the fresh vegetable
matter This natural weathering OF
the soil grains undoubtedly supplies
small amount of mineral matter In
form available to plants, and hence
there Is continual addition to the
quantity Of mineral elements In the
vegetable matter under natural con-
ditions.
Some soils, such as those of our
western prairies, have large amount
OF organic matter which has not gone
through the final stages OF decomposi-
ton. This Is In condition to under
30 further decay after being broken
down and It, therefore supplies large
amounts of available material essen.
tial to plant growth for number OF
years. Others having a relatively
small amount Of such material are
fertile for q short time and become
exhausted after few years OF cul.
ovation.
In some cases the vegetable matter
either has too small a percentage OF
he mineral elements, especially phos-
phorus and potassium, or else its de-
composition is too slow to set free
sufficient supply Of these elements for
plant growth.
