WHAT TO Do WITH
1000 SCARLET WOMEN

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 17-What to do
with the nearly 1000 scarlet women
in this city with the going into eff
feet of Police Commissioner Gillespies
order sweeping out of existence all
commercialized vice, is a question up
ON which churches and civic bodies are
working today. A vice commission APP
pointed by the Detroit board of COM
merce has assumed the leadership of
the relief movement.
As a first step the commissioner
will furnish transportation for any
girls or women who wish to return
to homes outside Of Detroit.
In a preliminary report on condi-
tons the vice commission stated that
permanent help could not be accom-
plished until there is established re-
formatory or home for women where
suitable opportunity may be offered for
physical and moral reformation. The
teaching of arts and trades to the in
mates of the home is urged by the
commission.
The police order for the elimination
of Detroit's red light district was is
sued after Police Commissioner Gill
lespie had made a personal investiga-
ton of conditions in Boston and CHI
cago, where organized vice for some
time past has been prohibited

TEACHERS PENSIONS

I ed in whole or in part by the state, or
whether they shall be financed entirely
| by the teachers themselves, is a prob
| lem that has been solved differently Ia
different countries. In Germany the
| state finances the entire plan, the
teachers making no contributions
whatsoever In France the teachers
are heavily assessed to keep the pens
ion system going In the United States
the tendency is to ask small contribu-
lions from the teachers. AS perman-
ent arrang ement DR.. Siles faVors the
German plan, not because he thinks it
any more generous to the teachers, but
because he considers it better business
for the state to finance and manage
the system itself. He shows that in
any event the burden is ultimately
Sn1fted 10 the teachers.
While admitting, therefore, thct
contributions may be necessary to
start a substantial pension system, he
believes they should be discontinued
as soon as possible. In his opinion
contributions from teachers as per-
manent feature not only add nothing
10 the effectiveness of pension plan
but they introduce needless complex
ity, they are source of constant ir.
ritation and misunderstanding, and
they are responsible for vast amount
of unnecessary bookkeeping Ind other
clerical work" DR.. SileS concludes
with a strong recommendation for 9
Eoncontributory pension system for
American teachers.

Are pensions in general wise? Should
d state pension it's workers? Should
it not pay pensions to teachers as well
as it's other employees?
These are questions discussed in a
bulletin Just issued by the United
States Bureau of Education. The int
mediate purpose of the bulletin is TO
describe the pension system of Great
Britain, but in the course of the study
Raymond w. Siles, the author, takes
occasion to discuss the principles un-
derlying all pensions, and especial y
teachers pensions in the United Stat .
Teachers pensions and pension syS-
tens, according to DR.. Siles, represent
one phase of what has become a uni
versal movement among civilized pee

superannuated and disabled individual
and to rob old age of it's economic ter
rors" Pensions for school teachers,
he points out, have existed in Germany
in some form or other for two or
three centuries, and in other European
countries for the better part of
century or more. On the Continent
the benefits of teachers pensions have
often been extended to include wild
ows and orphans of teachers. In
Scotland a comprehensive system has
been developed, based on scientific in"
surance principles, which DR.. Siles
considers especially valuable for the
United States.
