IRGES BETTER PAY
FOR THE TEACHERS
"White Wings" on Chicago
Streets Better Paid Than
South Bend instructors De-
CIareS Miss Margaret Haley.

That the maximum salary paid any
rade teacher in South Bend today is
4ss than that paid to street sweepers
n Boston and Chicago was one of
many striking points brought out
Wednesday afternoon by Miss Mar
5aret Haley Of Chicago, in her talk
efore the grade teachers of South
Bend in the music room at the high
school.
The power of the vote in procuring
just payment was another point which
the speaker emphasized. Votes are
the only language some people can
understand" she remarked.
Back of the question, also" she
continued, comes the fact that boards
cannot obtain sufficient revenue TO
conduct schools to the best advan-
tage. Rooms are overcrOwded and
teachers required to teach more sub
jects than they can handle properly.
This lack of funds is due 70 an anti
duated system OF TAXATION system
that belongs to the tallow candle and
ox-cart stage of civilization. Tax
evaders and corrupt boards are rob
bing childhood Of what rightfully be-
longs to it,
Miss Haley urged closer and
stronger organization among the
teachers of South Bend and also that
the association affiliate with the na-
tional, organization.
Miss Haley is prominent as a work
er among the teachers Of Chicago.
She was instrumental in organizing
the grade teachers of that city and Sc
curing greater cooperation among
them. 1t was largely through her ef-
forts, also, that the salaries Of Chi
cago teachers were raised by the Hi
nois legislature, before which she ap-
peared several times.

The flight Of the military police

was received at Juarez in a despatch

ANXIOUS TO CONTINUE
THEIR MUSIC LESSONS
FiVe-Year-0Id Children at Or

Learning Music From Charts
Ask Teacher for Piano.
Wanted: A piano.

wanted: A piano,
Eighty-eight little five-year-old kin
dergarten children out at the Or
phans' home have made a plea to their
music teacher. Mrs. Emma Harring-
ton that she get them a piano. Five
little letters, written by her pupils
were received by Mrs. Harrington.
Wednesday. begging her to get the
class a real piano.
For two long months the children
have been learning their notes from a
keyboard chart and even though they
are only five years old, they have all
learned each note. Yet hardly any of
them have seen a real piano although
a month ago Miss Ruth Moerdyke Sc
cured an old one for the older chill
dren, which has been placed down
stairs.
The younger ones are not given an
opportunity to use it as they are so
many older pupils learning. They can
only hear the music as II is played
from the floor below and gathering
around the head Of the stairs they
poke their heads over the banister to
see and listen.
= In one letter one pupil asserts in
her baby way that she wants to be a
music teacher and learn to play and
asks that the upstairs pupils be given
a piano. Mrs. Harrington furnishes
books, charts and a blackboard and is
making an effort TO teach the large
class music. She receives no COM
pensation and works a large part of
her time.
She placed an advertisement in the
News-Times Wednesday in an effort TO
secure the requested piano. That one
be loaned the institution or an old one
be given to it is the hopes OF the
teacher. who believes that some family
I'm the city may have an old one that
will not be worth much for any other
purpose.

in the future but at the same time it is not to be
forgotten that his grip on Congress will never be
stronger than now and the present is the best pos
sible time to seek this important reform.
Many predicted at the time of the first Chicago
convention and the Baltimore convention closely fol-
lowing it that the last President had been nominated
by the convention method. This prediction seemed
for time likely to be fulfilled but it is doubtful now
whether it will be.
The President can get Presidential primary law
adopted readily enough if he desires it. II he will
trea the subject all important matters OF legsla-
tion deserve to be treated a strictly non-partsan
basis, there is question about the outcome. Ii it
is to be treated as something to be legislated on In
the secret caucuses of House and Senate that's an
other matter. Every Progressive party unan in Con-
gress is enthusiastic for this legislation and so is
every Progressive Republican and the less reaction
ary Democrats. The legislation can be had easily
if it is really wanted. However, whether the Presi-
dent presses the issue not it will be kept to the
front. The Bull Moose leadership does not intend to
let it rest Nor will many of the progressive men
of the old parties who have urged the Presidential
primary for years, permit it to be passed over in
silence

INVESTIGATION OF CALUMET STRIKE

Senator MARITIME of New Jersey announces he
will insist on Senate committee conducting an in
vestigaton of the strike troubles in the Calumet
region providing there is adequate administrative
inquiry Senator Kern is likewise disposed. On the
House side of the Capitol there is also strong dis
position to order an investigation Under the crcui-
stances it may fairly be assumed Congressional
probe will follow.
Senator MARITIME cites the West Virginia inquiry
as an example of valuable investigation. Those
familiar with it know that it was valuable and that
the disclosures on the situation in the Paint Greek
and Cabin Creek regions had good effect. So it
was with the Lawrence investigation. Illumination
of the Calumet situation by an impartial and COM
petent committee would doubtless be productive OF
good and would certainly do no harm. 1t will be
ust as well for Congress to turn on the light and
give the public the truth.

THE GOVERNMENT IN THE RADlUM
BUSINESS.

Secretary Lanes suggestion that the Govern
ment reserve to itself all rights and ownership in
radiunl-bearing ores found in public lands brings
out in curious conflict the various needs of civza-
ton. The thing can be done, of course, and If the
claims for the efficacy of the radium treatment Of
cancer are substantiated, it is imperative that it
should be done. But this is an instance in which
conservation in the ordinary sense falls by the
board What is wanted is not the noarding OF rs-
dunn for future generations but its immediate min
ing. A vast increase speaking in grains) in the
Immediately available supply of radium is required.
There would be no harm in depicting every mine
tomorrow, were such thing possible; for it is not
consumed in being put to medical use, and whatever
supply is made available at all would be practically
permanent.
On the other hand, If constitutes only an infni-
tesmal fraction of the ores containing it and the
ores other constituents are not only Of industrial
value, but in the aggregate probably far more val
liable than is the radium content itself. But they
are used only in small quantities at time and the
methods of their extraction are costly. No manu-
factmer could afford to gut the market with them,
nor could he afford to tie up all the capital that
their hasty extraction for some future market would
demand
Uranium, vanadium, thorium are all exception
ally rare elements. 1t would be serious blunder
were the Government not to conserve its supply of
them. Yet in the past the radium produced has
been merely by-product of their metallurgy and
its production, therefore, proportonate or practically
to the market they have found.
The trouble is that the extraction Of the radium
alone would be economically and chemically impos-
sble. Economically, because except for the market
for the associated metals its cost would be thou
sands where it is dollars, and radum is already
expensive enough; chemically, because search for
the minute quantities contained in the minerals can
be undertaken only after the major constituents
have been removed
Here is presented very nice question in the
economies of governmental enterprises.
