TEACHERS ARE
POORLY PAID
Do Not Receive Enough to Fur
Their Their Train
ing.

Washington, May 12.-"Public
school teachers of the United States do
not receive enough salary to save
money to carry adequate life insurance
or to proceed with further professional
training" announces report of the
United States bureau of education, is
sued today.
Most of the teachers of the country
have, in effect, had their salaries re-
duced since 1897, says the report.
Despite an apparent increase In
money received by them, the high
cost of living has cut into their ralaries
just as definitely as if a school board
had sliced them. A teaching position
which paid 5000 in 1897 is paying in
purchasing power the equivalent. of
about $4l6 today, if measured by 1897
prices; the teacher on the 81 900 salary
gets no more for his money than ne
would have procured fifteen years ago
for S69S.
The report shows that wholesale
prices in 1911 were AL per cent higher
than in 1907; that retail prices had in
creased 50.2 per cent in thessm period
while in June, 1912, retail food prices
were 6l.7 per cent higher than in 1899.
With these figures as basis su analy-
sis of teachers salaries In five cities in
different parts of the country shows
the plight of the teachers in the prob.
lem of increased cost OF living.
"Teachers spend more than working.
men for some things" the report states
"though their pay IS about the same.
Rent and clothing are bigger items in
the teachers budget than in the labor
ers, indicating more exacting demands.
Teachers also spend relatively more
than working men for life insurance,
religious purposes, charity, amusement
acations and care Of the health"

SAYS FACTS WERE
SLIGHTLY TWISTED

Parrottsville May 13.-EdiIor ofTHE
PLAIN TALK l noted in last weeks
issue of your paper, an article which
set forth that and Mr.. Cobble had
fight, and that during the melee that
| hit Mr.. Cobble over the head with
revolver and that bystander assisted
me in getting the best ofthe argument
The article also stated that had taken
Mr.. Cobble with peace warrant. L
desire to state in regard TO this article,
that the above mentioned facts as
shown in THE PLAIN TALK, were un.
true, because Mr.. Cobble and myself
had fair fight. without any molesta-
ton from any bystander. At the time
| was in my shirt sleeves and was on
my way to Newport with load of
lumber, when Mr.. Cobble and myself
engaged in an argument which finally
resulted in a fight. l had no gun on
me al the time, so | did not not hit
him with gun as was related in THE
PLAIN TALK. knocked him down
when he jumped on me and 1 knocked
HIM down again when he came back
at me. The man who was with me
grabbed me ana did not hit him any
more, but went on back to my wagon.
Mr.. Cobcle followed me still, however,
and knocked him down again. Mr..
Cobble was not himself at the time, it
being my impression that he had been
drinking and he was no match for me.
AS far as taking him with peace war
rant is concerned, never gave that
matter thought as | have no fear OF
andIurther trouble.
l appeared before magistrate and
was fined sum of $3.50 which was
about the amount of damage done.
Cobble also paid his fine and costs
amounting to something less, both
parties agreeing That it it was best to
let the matter drop just where 1t was
AT.

the appointment Of two midshipmen to
the Naval academy every four years
by each senator. representative and
delegate in congress. This law expires
this year. and unless it Is extended the
