GOOD TIMES ARE COMING
THE SCHOOL TEACHERS
Facilities for Education Are
Keeping Step With Increase
in Population

NEW. YORK, Sept. 2S.-Schools of
the couRtry are opening this month to
increased attendance which shows that
facilities for education have kept ahead
of the growth in population. This was
said today by a manager of the largest
teachers agency in the country, who
from the nature of his work Is in touch
with the educational situation all oyer
the country incidentally he added
that good times were ahead for the
members of the teaching profession.
The last school census showed 20,-
100000 young persons enrolled in va
rfous institutions of the country.
Two or three years ago." said one
teachers agency manager, "a boy could
be sent to a very good boarding school
for $500 or $500 year. Now the av-
erage charge at such institutions Is
s700 or $500. The colleges that charge
tuition of course do not depend upon
these fees for support. nevertheless,
many of them have raised their tuition
charges on an average of $25 year.
The private boarding school business
must be profitable, for the number OF
establishments are increasing. This, Of
course, is good for our business. for it
quickens the demand for teachers and
raises salaries. The only educational
institutions that are declining are the
old-fashion day seminaries. The free
state schools are fast driving them
out"

Discussing the benefits to be derived
from such plan, Congressman Edwards
says:
STATEMENT OF EDWARDS.
Unless cotton can be marketed at a
profit above the cost OF It's productions
cotton growing in the south is doomed.
Magnificent trade balances are MAIN
tanned for our country by the south's
money crop, and 1t is therefore not only
Of interest to the south, but TO the whole
country that the farmer should get a
profit on the cotton crop.
In my opinion tht combination of spin
rers and New York spectators can be
best dealt with by lighting them with
their own fire.se Sin union there Is
strength. and IL the farmers will COM
bine and agree to plan such as out
lined in the Montgomery cotton confer
gradually placed on the market, as the
pressing needs of the manufacturer de-
mands it, the farmers and not the spin
ners will be in command Of the situation
and will get better prices for the crop.
All intelligent cotton producers should
realize that their salvation depends upon
their getting together as quickly as pos
sible. and upon their standing together
until this fight for better prices is won.
If they will but get together and pull
together under the proposed plan, SO
that the market viii not be glutted at
any time, it will only be a question OF
short time before the farmer and not
the spinner viii make the daily quotation
of prices.
is WISE MOVEMENT.
This movefnnt for the holding and
gradual marketing of the crop Ii a wise
and good scheme and it should strongly
appeal to the southern people as being
the solution Of the present unfortunate
situation that confronts our cotton farm
ers. s tAN
If the farmers will stand together they
will win but failure and low prices win
be- the result if they fail to stand to-
gether.
1 am glad of an opportunity to contrib
ute financially and to render any possible
service to this important movement,
which means SO much to the whole
country, especially to the people of the.

Here's another thing about this proof question:
The law does not require the s'proof to be stated
