approximately $15O.000 to see the
fight and went away apparently sat
isfied with the result. II was the
greatest gathering Madison Square
Garden had ever seen. Many women
were In the throng. Willard broke
his right hand In the third round, but
blows from his fighting left kept
Moran at a distance. Moran's best
round was the third and his worst
probably was the seventh. He was
bleeding after the fifth round. and his
left eye was almost closed at the end.
Moran put up game fight. Most
Of the time he crouched and forced
the fighting. Willard seemed slower
on his feet than the challenger. and
appeared to have an unlimited capac-
ity to take punishment. Moran
scowled as he fought. but Willard
smiled.

Seals Like United States.

There are in existence only two i'm
portant herds of fur seals, one Of
which has its breeding grounds in the
Commander islands. belonging to Rus
sia, the other in the Pribilof islands,
belonging to the United States. OF
these the latter Is much the larger.
The Pribilof islands are government
property. and thus it happens that
the United States government finds
itself the owner of by far the most
valuable herd of fur seals in the
world. This unique bit Of property
has been q source of much tribula

Provisions Explained.

Theoretically dnder the bill proposed
for the District of Columbia teacher
might receive an annuity of approxi-
mately 81 900 year. At the same
time this amount would not be great
tax on the government. as under the
proposed law the teacher Will buy
the great part of his annuity out of
his salary, the government contribut-
ing but Sc for each year of service to
the annual pension. The average pen
sion received by the teachers, it is ex-
pected, will be about $500. The mini
mum under the proposed bill is $3.50.
Variance in Figures.
Figures for pensions vary greatly in
the various states. In some the mini
mum allowance is as low as $50. In
only few cases does the maximum al
lowance go beyond the 800 mark. but
at the same time it should be remem-
bered that in number of the states

Referring to the contributory sys-

forth:
THE fundamental principles of a
pension system may be stated briefly.
Only those, however. who have studied
the great mass of pension litera-
ture are likely to give full acceptance
Ito them at once. 1t is not easy to un-
derstand, for example, that a non-con-
tributory pension is the most costly to
the beneficiary: that free pensions,
paid by a government or other agency,
are in the long run so expensive that
the individual cannot afford to trust
his future to them"

PLANS IN STATES
TO AID TEACHERS
U. S. Bureau of Education As
serts Some Retirement Plan
Is Recognized as Essential.
DISTRICT BILL DISCUSSED

That there has come a general reali-
cation that some plan Of retirement for
teachers is essential in an efficient
public school system" is asserted in a
bulletin isued today by the United
States bureau of education. The bull
letin, which shows that state systems
of pensions or retirement for public
school teachers are maintained in thir-
ty-three states in this country, proved
particularly interesting to teachers in
the public schools of the District. who
are waging a campaign this year for
the passage of retirement bill.
Plans of pensions followed in other
states show that the bill which is ad-
vocated here is unusually generous to
the teacher. This is true in number
of points, especially in the maximum
amount of annuity allowed and in the
fact that the total amount paid in un-
der the bill drawn for District teachers
will be repaid in case of withdrawal
from service or to beneficiaries in case
of death prior to retirement, or in
the case of an annuitant by the pay
ment of such amount as may not have
been drawn by the teacher in an
nuities. In addition to this interest at
per cent is allowed.
