CHICAGO, February 21.-Caught by thA

is contended by commission men ana
wholesalers that reduced retail prices
would cause the housewife to use larger
quantities of eggs and butter.
The president Of a large packing house
company said:
There are eggs in Chicago which have
been in storage twenty-four monthe They
were unfit for food eighteen months ago.

Problem Practical One.

This problem is a practical one and
1t has had to be met in the several
states and cities, and. in fact. in the
other nations of the world. Germany
has pensioned her teachers for many
years Russia has had pension laws
for her teachers since 1919, Saxony has
had teachers pension laws since 1910,
England since 1S4S and Holland for
forty-five years. There are teachers
pension systems in twenty-one states.
4 bill was introduced first in the New
York legislature in 1879. but the nrst
law enacted in New York was for New
York city in 1894. Maryland and
Rhode Island pension all teachers of
the state with state funds. without
any contribution by the teachers Some
other states provide that their nu-
inequalities shall pay an amount equal

Will Strengthen Profession.

"Fourth-lt will make the profession of
teaching more attractive and thus will
bring into Its ranks some who go into
other professions and into other work
and who would very much strengthen the
teaching profession.
''F'ifth-As an encouragement it will
make those who have settled in the pro-
fessiOn more satisfied, stronger, better,
more hopeful and more inspiring and
thus better teachers.
''Sixtb-With this assurance of a COM
petence when old age comes, the teacher
will feel justified more freely to grasp
opportunities to enlarge his sphere of life
and to broaden his Information and thus
become more useful as a teacher.
.'Seventh-The strongest argument from
an efficiency standpoint is that it will
eliminate the WORKOUT teacher who is
a detriment to the strength of the school
and a very great injustice to the rights of
the pupil.
There are now in the schools of the
District OF Columbia 13a teachers who
have taught thirty years and over.
Eighty-three of these have taught more
than thirty-five years. There are six
teachers siXty-fiye years or age and over.
1t is not to be presumed that all Of these
should be retired, but 1t is probably GER
tain that some of them. on account of
physical and mental disability should be
retired for the highest interests Of the
school and the greatest efficiency of the
educational system of this District. Some
say, Why not dismiss them?' The answer
Is simply one of humanity Human ma
ture would not permit such a thing to
be done. The people Of this community
would not sanction it.
IAN incident was brought to the atten-
ton Of the committee where an old teach
er was about to be discharged on account
of old age and disability some years since,
when there appeared before the board of
education some of the most prominent
men, including bankers and lawyers, to
protest against such heartless treatment
of the faithful old teacher. 1t was found
that this person had been their teacher
when they had been in school, Human
nature is no different here from what it
is everywhere else.

Champion Will Not Challenge.

There is good deal of nonsense and
f1ummery at cOronations. and those VINO
have no reverence for antiquities COM
plain and criticise because so much time
and money is wasted in the recognition
of ancient rites and rituals But there is
a deep-rooted sentiment among the peo-
pie of England. which protects these
forms from those who would abolish
them. One of the most ancient customs,
however. which was omitted at the coro-
nation of Edward VII and will probably
be omitted at this time, was the public
challenge of the kings champion" an
attendant of his majesty, appointed in
the middle ages for the purpose of re-
sisting with force any attack that might
be made upon the title or the honor of
his royal master. Such things were de-
time of King Henry II. who repudiated
the ancient theory that might is right and
instituted courts.
In ancient times on the day of the
coronation and Immediately preceding
that ceremony the kings champion APP
peared in the courtyard of Westminster
and in loud voice three times repeated
an invitation to any person who disputed
the right of the Lords annointed to be
crowned King Of England to come for
ward and maintain his cause in combat.
Nobody ever appeared to answer the
challenge, and, after offering a full OPP
portunity. the champion returned his
sword to its sheath and strobe back to
ST. Margaret's Hall. where he reported
to the grand marshal that his majesty s
title was clear.
This picturesque performance was last
witnessed at the coronation Of Queen
Victoria.
The earl marshal his grace the Duke
of Norfolk, has issued circular COM

Maximum, 5000; Minimum, $500.

1.-THE maximum annuity Is 60 per cent
of the average salary during the last
five years Of teaching, with the provision
that no person shall receive more than
the maximum of $500 per annum nor
less than a minimum of 500.
TT is optional with the teachers now
in the service whether or not they shall
accept the provisions of the retirement
fund as herein created, but 1t is made
compulsory upon the teachers who enter
the service after the passage Of this
act.
1.-The desirability 1f such provision
as this law contemplates has long since
passed the period Of speculation by those
who have given the subject attention.
There is no longer any doubt that a
retirement plan for teachers produces not
only increased efficiency in the work, but
is commanding necessity for the best
interests of the pupils and is humane
and Just to the person SO retired.
"First-The retirement fund will in
crease the efficiency Of the teaching
force in community by reason of the
fact that it will attract to that COM
munity which has such retirement fund
the best and brightest teachers from
other communities that do not have such
a retirement fund.
"SecOnd-A community which has a re-
tirement fund will be more able to keep
Its own strong teachers from going else
where.
''Third-It will have a tendency to keep
persons in the profession who otherwise
would use 1t only as stepping stone to
something else, and this, Of course, means
that 1t would keep that very desirable
portion of those who enter the teaching
profession and who leave it largely he
cause they can better their condition

bURKETT REPORT IN

States of the Union Cited.
PROTEST AGAINST DISMISSALS

PROTEST AGAINST DISMISSALS

Senator Burkett this afternoon filed in
! the Senate the District committees re-
port recommending the passage of the
| teachers pension bill on the grounds of
fairness to the veteran teacher and of
increa sed efficiency for the public school
system.
There is no longer doubt that re-
tirement plan for teachers produces not
only increased efficiency in the work, but
is a. commanding necessity for the best
interests of the pupils and Is humane and
just to the person so RETIRED the report
comments.
Senator Burkett's argument and plea
for the legislation is powerful one. Not
only does he point to the example of
Russia, England and other foreign coun-
tries, as we'll as of many states and
municipalities in this country, but he pro-
tests against such ..heartless treatment
as the dismissal of those who have given
the best years of their lives and the best
efforts of their minds and hearts to the
training of the future citizens, the future
business men and the future mothers.
Senator Burkett's Comments.
This bill is in line with similar legis-
lation in many of the states" Senator
Burkett says in his report. and Is
composite of the best features, as your
committee believes, Of the teachers re-
tirement laws in the several states and
cities of the country. The bill has
the approval of the board OF education
and the Commissioners OF the District OF
Columbia. AS recommended there is
considerable change from the original
bill as introduced, but these changes
have been made in some instances to
eliminate proposed changes of the gem
eral school law, which had no particular
connection with the subject that this act
is intended to cover. The amendments
also relieve the public treasury from any
obligations In any wise to the fund Gre
ateu by the law"
After outlining the provisions or the
bill as given in Ihe Star yesterday, SEN
ator Burkett continues:
THE teachers entitled to retirement
annuity shall be those who have taught
thirty years or over, and have been rec
commended by the board of trustees;
teachers who are totally incapacitated
after twenty years Of service; those who
may be recommended by the board OF
trustees for retirement and proportional
annuity on account of total incapacity
after from five to twenty years or serV-
ice, and those who are recommended by
the board Of education for retirement
who are sixty-five years of age or over.

A Hamtine Student Suicides.

spent in fruitless endeavor by rela-
tives, friends, university officials and
police, nothing definite is advanced
to account for the suicide. DR.. George

not been true in the same degree of
