Bodies Found on F-4.

Honolulu. II. H.-Ten more bodies
we're found in the hull OF the United
States submarine F-4. They were
crowded together in the engine.room
One body was identified AS that OF
Ivan l.. Mahan, machinist's mate
OF Lima, Ohio.
Members of the naval board of in
quiry declined to discuss whether the
finding OF SO many bodies in the com.
partment indicated the nature Of the
accident which caused the vessel to
sink.
1t was suggested by some of those
working on the submarine that an
explosion elsewhere in the vessel
caused the men to seek refuge in the
engine room.

RESERVE BOARD TO
HELP WITH COTTON
CLEARS WAY FOR HANDLING
STAPLE WITHOUT cLoGGlNG
THE MARKET.
$5,OOO,0O0 INITIAL DEPOSIT
special Rediscount Rates on Promis-
sory Notes Secured by Warehouse
Receipts on Cotton.

Washington.-Defin steps were
taken by the federal reserve board
and Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department, to extend aid to cotton
producers of the south and to clear
the way for handling the fall crop
without the uncertainty and difficulty
experienced last year.
The board issued new regulations
authorizing federal reserve banks to
give special rediscount rates on
promissory notes secured by ware
house receipts for staple agricultural
products with the restriction that
member banks must not charge more
than per cent to the borrower.
Secretary McAdoo announced he
would soon deposit $5OOO,O0O as an
initial deposit in gold in each of the
federal reserve banks at Richmond,
Atlanta and Dallas. Fifteen million
dollars more is to be deposited later.
The secretary said that If conditions
showed the need Of deposits elsewhere
to aid in handling any other crop he
would extend similar government aid.
The new regulations are broad
lily marketable crops, but it Is we'll
known that the cotton crop is he one
which has given concern OF late.
The board announced that the
reserve banks in Atlanta and Dallas
already had requested discount rate
OF three per cent on the sort of paper
approved In the regulations.
The announcements followed meet
ings that have occupied the time of
the board and Mr.. McAdoo most of
the last few days. Although when
the secretary originally proposed de.
posits Of government funds In South
ern reserve banks alone, many months
ago, the plan was not favored by sew
eral members Of the board, it was MOI
opposed during the recent discussions
Some members indicated, however
that as the total cotton crop probabl,
would be worth about $500, 900, 90
they did not think $30,000,OOO woul
go far toward handling it.

SAYS Too MANY HOME
TALENT" TEACHERS
Baltimore Educator Would Sc
Iect One Third of Instructors
from Outside City.

WASHINGTON. April ?, DR..
Frank A. Nanny OF Baltimore thinks
there are too many home talent"
teachers in our public schools.
He expresses his views in a recent
bulletin issued by the United States
bureau of education. The title of the
bulletin is. city Training Schools
Or. Nanny is OF the opinion that a
city may easily have TOO much home
talent in its teaching force. as re-
suit Of preference for graduates of its
own Notwithstanding school.
No greater misfortune can come
TO any school system than TO have
study inbreeding of home talent" de-
clares DR.. Nanny. Continuing he
says:
One-Third from Outside.
THE board Of education should in
sist upon the selection of at least one
third OF the new teachers each year
from outside the city limits.
The preference in appointment for
local graduates is not always in the
interest of the school system. To say
that teacher must suffer the penalty
OF being accounted less worthy be-
cause she has graduated from some
other training school than the one in
the city where application is made for
a position is TO strangle healthy COM
ptklllOH dIlODB ltdCUtIS- lDDl ecu
ing is today the blight of great
many school systems in this country"
The city of Spokane. Wash. closed
its city-training school for teachers
some years ago DR.. Nanny declares,
mainly for the reason that the school
authorities were embarrassed by the
necessity of selecting as teachers
those trained in the local institution,
even though they were inferior to
others"
Some Cities Have Limit.
Some of the cities that have train
ing schools for teachers have en-
deavored to meet the inbreeding
problem by limiting the number of
teachers TO be selected from the local
training schools.
Thus Pittsburgh, in opening such a
school made a rule, that not more
than 60 per cent OF the city teachers
could be drawn from this school.
Indianapolis has for years limited
the number of teachers trained in its
own school to not more than four
fifths of the need.
In Burlington. Ia, every fourth
teacher must come from outside the
city.
Newark, n. J.. places the proper
ton of experienced teachers from out
side sources at from one-fOurth to
! one-third
Harrisburg. Pa, secures half OF its
teachers from other points.
Reports from As cities show, &C
cording TO DIR. Nanny. that "Balti-
more, Md, and Paterson, n. j., have
the smallest proportion Of teachers
from outside sources; while Newark,
". J.; Cleveland, o.; Rochester, n. Y;
Birmingham, Ala, and Omaha, Neb..
have the largest percentage Of teach
ers trained elsewhere.
