PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS TO ASK
 FOR MORE WAGES

In keebing with the demand being made by teachers in almost every large city in the country the grade teachers, in this city, are today all signing a petition, asking for a good sized increase, the request to be pre- sented to the Board of Education at their next regular meeting.
 The faculty of each school will meet after the afternoon session, today. when each body will appoint one dele gate to a meeting which will be held early next week. The petition is not one which has been inaugurated- on the spur of, the moment, but has come about after earnest talk by the teach CTS. There have been many meetings with in the past few weeks. but not until last week was it decided upon by the teaching body that they should start the movement in earnest at the present time, and not let up until they had received what they had asked for.
 One of the teachers said today, we think for the services we render, con sidering the time occupied in prepara-

 MT. Chairman and Visiting Delegates:
 'tIn the absence of Mayor Bucking- ham-the honor has been conferred up- on me of welcoming to Bridgeport the annual convention of the N B. o. F. sure to do so. I only wish it might be an annual occurrence instead of a very rare opportunity. For I am told that your delegates have hereto- fore looked with disfavor upon Bridge port, and have preferred the legisla- tive atmosphere of Hartford, Or the Elm shaded precincts of New Haven full Park City. But now that we have you here, we hope to make Bridge port so inviting that you will make this your permanent convention head quarters.

DEMOCRATIC MAYOR
 FOR NEW BRITAIN
Especial from United Press.)

New Britain. April 13.-New Brit ain citizens are rejoicing today over the election yesterday of Alderman Joseph M. Ha1loran as mayor. Party leaders, or rather ttnon-party'' lead CTS, as they taetfully call themselves, are pointing to at least one instance in Connecticut where the lines of "dear partisanship'' could be broken ever even by normally staunch Re- publicans if by so doing the election of a Democrat who would satisfy all corners, could be effected
 Exactly this happened in New Brit ain yesterday when eX-Alderman Curtis, Republican candidate for mayor, bit the dust in defeat. Hal loran, though Q Democrat from ssway back showed the Republicans what he would do for the city if elected, with the result that he won by a majority of 622 though New Britain has normally been Republican.
 The rest of the ticket went Repub- lican by about TOO which further shows Halloran to be a non-party mayor.

ton. that we ought to receive a sub-- stantiaI increase. The high cost of living is felt just as much by the school. teacher as by the Iaboring man, if not more. It is one of the requfs- ties lid down to us, when we take up this work, that we must at all times maintain an appearance To do so means expense, which often incurs a hardship, The salary we receive is not enough to carry us through the expenses which must be met from year to year. There is a general irn- pression that teacher has a soft berth, and that she earns easy money. On the average, the teacher receives $500 per year, which is slightly more than $9 per week. Within the past few years we have noted that the po- lice and frernen have received suto- stantia1 increases. It does not re- quire an education to be either a fire man or policeman, yet to become school teacher we are obliged to put four years at study in the high school, and two years more in the training school before we receive any conapen- sation. The teachers are not making bHndfo1d demand, but seek an in crease because they are underpaid.''

KLING WON'T PLAY WITH CHICAGO CUBS FOR SALARY OFFERED

The Chicago Cubs probably will have to do without Johnny K1ing this year, as the catcher has not as yet sent his S7O0 fine to the National Comnis- sion and is taking an active part in the reorganization of the Intercity League in Kansas City, in which he was a playing manager last season. K1ing announced today that he again League, and said that if he could not get more than $4, 800 for playing with the Cubs this year, he did not want to play with them. Kling also made the statement that he contemplat es takinr his seni-professionaI cornbina- tion to New York this season for a series of fourteen games with the strongest clubs in Gotham.

without desire to pass. We turn that child out into the world with all the hopes and aspirations that a liberal education inspire. and then we say brutally that the time has come in the development of the natural resources of the country when he must come down to the standard of living that has pre-. vailed during the centuries among his compeers in Europe; and when he rebels and demands a wage which will enable him to live in accordance with the education the state has given him-and the ideas of equality-the police are set upon him; if that arm of the law is of no avail the militia are called out, as in Philadelphia recently; and il the militia are unequal to cope with the situation the regular army Is called in to shoot him down in his tracks for insisting with viO. lence upon a standard of living such as is demanded by the hopes and aspirations the state has in. spired in his mind and heart. There is the problem to which the American people are coming. Be. hind and back of all this talk and theorizing about the great increase in the cost of living is the question
 whether the masses of the American people are to continue to be edu. cated "with oil painting tastes and chromo pocketbooks," whether they are to have pocketbeoks in conson. ance with the high ideals to which they are educated, by the state, or
 whether the scheme of universal education and the doctrine of equality will have to be abandoned, That is the real problem.

dress as we'll as the families of those in more comfortable circum- stances. This writer contends that the remedy for high prices will be for the American people to come down to the standard prevailing in Europe, "where the poor go without meat, the we'll to do have it once a week and on holidays, and the rich have it but once day" In other words the proposed remedy is that the American people shall crystal lize into classes, as have the people of Europe, with their marked differ ences in standards of living, dress, department, amusement, etc.
 All the foregoing may be possible, but first there will have to be a marked change in the methods of thought-in the very education of the American people. They must abandon their scheme of universal education, and their idea of the equality of man. Our America n polity is built upon and around those two central ideas-equality and universal education. We tax ourselves that all shall be educated, and by that education there is in- culcated in the expanding mind of the growing child the idea that all are equal. We send him to a school where he is trained to hopes and aspirations to realize which he must have larger share of the worlds goods and commodities than are realized by the common people of Europe, who are taught from the beginning that there is nc such thing as equality, and that between the classes and the masses there is an insurrnountable barrier that none can pass, which the masses accept without question and

THE REAL PROBLEM.

The so-called problem of high prices continues to attract una bated attention, and from all sides come various and varied attempts at it's solution" or explanation. One accredits the uncomfortable phenomena to the disposition of the country population to crowd into the cities and neglect cultiva- tion of the soil, increasing con- sumption of produce, diminishing production to the consequent en- hancement of prices; another attri- butes it to the natural increase of popula tion which is approaching rapidly the point where consump- tion will exceed production, render ing necessary importation of food stuffs and other raw materials; third lays it to the grasping by the trusts of all sources of supply; the fourth accounts for it by the gen. eral advance in the standard of liv- ing by all classes; yet others blame everything upon the tariff, while there are even those who revert back to the "crime of 1873" and think free coinage of silver would be 4 sovereign panacea, obllvlous to the fact that to the excessive production ofgold and it's decreased purchasing power another class of theorists lays the entire trouble. There are others who lay all the blame to the extravaganza and wastefulness of the American people, alleging that everybody wants the high priced cuts of meats and the best qualities of all other edibles, rejecting the cheap cuts and ordinary qualities, and that an ordinary American family will throw into the swill barrel what would feed a family correspond ingly large in the Mediterranean region or in the Orient.
 There are as many different theories as to the cause or causes AS there are theorists. But none of them have offered any real solu

tion of the problem, for the reason that none of them cover the entire ground. In fact it seems to THE OASIS that nearly all of the causes enumerated have some foundation, or are correct in a way, and have contributed to the general rise Tn prices of all commodities consumed by the American people. In truth it would seem that there can be outlined progressive succession of causes all of which are and have been factors in the greatly ''in- creased cost of living. The tremen- dous production of gold that has occurred during the past twenty years, and the consequent enor- nous accumulation and addition to the worlds stock of that metal which is the basis of all exchanges has increased without doubt the proportional amount of gold with regard to all other com modities, reducing it's exchangeable value the purchasing power of the dollar. Then the increase of population has reached the point where con- sumption is beginning to encroach upon the capacity of the agricul- tural regions for production. For merly the production of raw ma terials in the United States was so great that each year there was great surplus for export. Until recently occupation and culti- vation of wild lands kept that surplus production ahead of the increase in population. Now nearly all the available lands in the country have been made pro- ductive and the increase of popula- tion is materializing so rapidly that the time when consumption will outstrip production is now in sight and close upon us. Added to the decrease in the purchasing power of the general measure of value the material change manifest in the old time relation between production and consumption is an important factor in the phenomena under consideration. The tariff is another factor, for the benefcent operation promised by it's propon' entS that it would so increase pro duction of manufactured articles that home competition would reduce prices, has been diverted by the far reaching power of the trusts that have taken root and growr
 under it's fostering influence.
 The alleged extravaganza and wastefullness of the American
 people is probably another import
