HIGHER PAY
FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS
Favored By State Comptroller Hugh
A. McMuIlen
NO MORE THAN SIMPLE JUSTICE
Constant Improvement Needed-Public
Schools Of Maryland Funda-
mental Necessity

Regarding the matter OF increased
salaries for teachers. a committee for
which will wait upon the Governor to-
morrow morning, Comptroller Hugh
A McAullen yesterday gave out a
statement favoring an increase in the
salaries paid the school teachers.
MIR. McMullen said that the salaries
now paid are very low in comparison
with those paid people in other lines
requiring equal intelligence and train
ing, and called attention to numer-
Gus designations from the teaching
force because of that.
He holds that the public school
system must be maintained upon a
high plane. as a fundamental neces-
sity of government, and that this can
not be done unless sufficient salaries
are paid to keep good teachers in the
service
Mr. McMullen said
"The public schools OF Maryland are
rightly considered one of the very
fundamental necessities of govern
ment. The future good government
of any political unit depends entirely
upon the training Of the children who
are to become its citizens.
"The child who has a good moral
training and who has received an edu-
cation to fit it for the highest duties
of life is a great acquisition to
society.
Constant improvement Needed.
1.-THE public schools of Maryland are
doing a great work. and the quality of
that work should be constantly I'M
proved as the years go by. In order
TO do this it is essential that the
! teachers in the schools should be men
and women of the highest character,
of strong mentality, equipped with
knowledge and trained for their pro-
fession.
"If we are to have this desirable
condition it is necessary that those
who devote themselves to the profess
sion of teaching should receive just
and fair salary for the service they
render At present the salaries paid
school teachers are very low when
compared with those paid in other
lines of work demanding the same in
telligence and training
For this reason many teachers are
leaving the schools of Maryland to
take up commercial work or to ac-
cept appointments as teachers in other
States where the salaries paid are
larger than in Maryland
No More Than Simple Justice.
"As l see the question, the greatest
necessity is to maintain the highest
standard of education in the State of
Maryland, and if to do this a greater
expenditure of money is required.
am in favor of it because, first, it is
a necessity, and secondly, it is no more
than simple justice to those who de-
vote their lives to teaching the chill
dren that they be properly recon-
pensed for their services.
81 am informed that rs teachers
have resigned in one of the larger
counties, 60 in another, so in another
and in the smaller counties number
corresponding with the population of
each.
unless better salaries are paid the
schools will not only lose the expert
enced and efficient teachers they now
have. but ambitious young people will
not be attracted to the profession"

Waiting Policy Is Adopted By Baseball Men
National League Club Owners Will Mark Time Until Able To Determine Effects War Measures Will Have.
(By Review Leased Wire).

NEW YORK. May 12.-After a three hour conference here today the National league owners decid- ed to adopt a policy of watchful waiting before attempting to grap- pie with any of the new problems resulting fro mthe war and adverse weather.
 The magnates discussed the proposed war tax: the drafting of players for the army; a later open ing of the season; violation of the waiver rules; better telegraph fa- cilities for the reporting of games, and proposition to reduce the club rosters, but no definite action was taken.
 It was decided to enforce the present rule limiting the number of players any club may carry be- tween May Is and August 31 to 22, this allotment to include play CTS and injured or sick. In case the army draft hits the clubs hard exceptions may be made to this rule.
 Owing to the lack of information as to how the proposed war tax is to be applied, the club owners were unable to arrange plans for its collection. The sale of revenue stamps; printing of new tickets with tax coupon attached, and the collection of the tax in cash also were discussed. While all the magnates stated that incle- ment weather of the last few weeks had affected attendance. they were unanimous in the opin- ion that with better playing con ditions there would be a marked improvement in gate receipts
