Arrangements Pleasant.

THE press arrangements at the White
House are most pleasant. An accredited
correspondent may gain the ear of Sec
rotary Tumulty at any time. The lat
ter has shown a surprising knowledge of
the intricate workings of news gather
ing President Wilson personally sees
the correspondents twice a week They
gather in his office and ask him all sorts
OF questions. 1t sometimes seems to be
a pitiless fire, but the utmost good humor
prevails and a thing which impresses the
observer is the informality of the pro-
ceeding. Mr.. Wilson gives and takes
like any one of his inquisitors. He plays
no favorites among the individual cor
respondents, whether the papers they
represent are big or small he has thus
far developed no pets. as has been the
case In some previous administrations.
IAN interesting figure at these gather
ings is William w. (BilD Price of The
Washington Star a veteran correspond
ent, who has covered the White House
for almost two decades. He was the first
man to be regularly assigned to that
post and his experiences during that time
have been intimate and of vast service

tell!gence OF Mr.. Price have reflected
credit on his profession.
THE reading public has nothing to fear
SO far as fair and square relations be-
tween President Wilson and the press are
concerned"

FOURTH ESTATE
SECOND CABINET
Wilson Meets With Newspaper
Correspondents Twice
Each Week.
PRESIDENT ENJOYS
RAPID-FIRE TALK
Administration Brought in Closer
Touch With People Through
Members of Press.

The meetings of the newspaper cab
met with President Wilson twice
week are becoming one of the features of
the new administration at the White
House President Wilson Is said to get
keen enjoyment out of the rapid-fire dis
cussion at the gatherings. and the news
paper men voice warm praises for the op-
portunity to get personal word with the
chief executive of the nation so easily
and so frequently.
Writing under the title of "The Presi-
Dental Megaphone." Robert D. Heinl, it's
Washington correspondent, describes in
the current issue of Leslies the intimate
bers of his newspaper cabinet" in part,
as follows:
Public Wants More Facts.
Each year the reading public demands
more knowledge regarding the personal
attitude of the President of the United
States on great questions. In every Sue
ceeding administration added pressure is
brought to bear / ,on the chief executive
of the nation to secure his intimate
views. No President has had to face this
demand to a higher degree than Mr. Will
son. The White House has thus far been
shielded from the searchlight of public
ity to a greater degree than any of the
larger government departments 1t is a
fact that to this day the President may
not be quoted without his personal con-
sent. No matter what he says to a news
paper man In private. the latter is not
expected to use the comments verbatim
or credit to the chief executive with
out explicit authorization.
president Wilson has not welcomed
publicity-so far as he was personally
concerned-any more than others Of his
predecessors who desired to sidestep the
limelight. but 1t is a tribute to him and
to his adviser. Mr.. Tumulty, who is vast
intelligent grasp Of what is news and
their ability to appreciate to what extent
the reading public should be taken into
confidence.
Lincoln Saw All Corners.
Mr.. Lincoln saw all corners, day or
night, but as the country has grown since
then by leaps and bounds, the task of
gaining the Presidents ear has become
more difficult. Mr.. Cleveland seldom or
never met the newspaper men in person.
President Wilson was somewhat over
whelmed by the number of newspaper
correspondents who greeted him in Wash
inSton. There are upward of 20 specia!
press men at the National CAPITAL and
they represent almost every principal
newspaper In the world. Mr.. Wilson ap-

SCHOOL TEACHERS PAY
ANALYZED IN REPORT
Educational Bureau Says They
Are Too Low to Afford
Life Insurance.

Public school teachers of the United
States do not receive enough salary to
save money to carry adequate life insur-
ance or to proceed with further profess
sionai training. announces a report OF
the United States bureau of education.
Most of the teachers of the country
have. in effect, had their salaries reduced
since 1897. says the report.
Despite an apparent increase In money
received by them. the high cost of living
has cut into their salaries just definite
~ az IL a school board had sliced them.
4 teaching position which paid $500 in 1897
is paying in purchasing power the
equivalent OF about s416 today, if meas
ured by 1897 prices; the teacher on the
81 900 salary gets no more for his money
than he would have procured fifteen years
ago for ssssS.
Retail Prices 80 Per Cent Higher.
The report shows that wholesale prices
In 1911 were Al per cent higher than
in 1907; that retail prices had increased
50.2 per cent in the same period: while In
June 1912. retail food prices were GIT
per cent higher than in 1896. With these
igures as basis an analysis of teach
ers salaries in five cities in different
parts of the country shows the plight OF
the teachers in the problem of increased
cost of living.
Teachers spend more than workingmen
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 community
demands. Teachers also spend relative
ly more than workingmen for life in

'-In many instances the operations were
of such a serious nature that fees much
larger than SO would have been charged
had the physicians been paid for their
services" said Mr.. Honey. II believe
that 500 oc0 would be a low estimate OF
the cost of their services had the usual
fees been received.
IF these sixty-one physicians and sur
geons can give each year services valued
at 100000. it is only right that q suit

be provided i am confident that by the
conclusion of the campaign now under

subscribed the 100000 needed to pro-
vide such a structure.

The contribution was made by seven

Four years ago there was an epidemic

residents of the town who succumbed to
the disease We're the parents of Ethel
Wagenheim, who was then three years
old. She was the youngest of six chill
dren. the Oldest being Olivia Wagenheim,
