TEACHERS TO ASK
FOR SALARY INCREASE
This Was Slogan at Opening Of
State Convention.
PROF. S. S. HANDY PRESIDES
State Superintendent Stevens Sounds
Warning Relative To Boosting
Salaries

The fftieth annual meeting OF the
Maryland State Teachers Association,
eonvening in Baltimore for the first
time in 80 years, has broken all rec
ords for attendance, more than 1000
teachers being registered.
The greatest problem for theSAsso-
citation TO solve is now TO persuade the
Legislature To increase the teachers
salary and 10 prevent what may prove
to be an exodus on the part of the pro-
fession either to enter into the sery-
ice OF the Federal Government or into
other more remunerative professions.
AT mass-meeting at the Lyric.
where every seat was occupied, DR..
NJ. Bates Stephens. State Superin-
tendent OF Education, sounded a note
of alarm Abiding 10 the miserably
low salaries of the county teachers.
whose minimum is $500, and who can
only reach the munihcent sum of $3.50
after having taught for eight continu-
Gus years in elementary schools, the
speaker said that If the next Legis-
lature did not come TO the rescue of
the teachers by increasing salaries,
by at least 500 per annum, there
would be many vacancies in the
schools, and he for one could not
blame them for seeking to ward OFT
what practically in some instances
amounted to actual want. by seeking
more profitable positions. The speak
er did not care TO picture the de-
moralization which would ensue in the
event of many teachers resigning in
the school system.
Sydney S. Handy, of the faculty OF
ST Johns College, President of the
State Teachers Association, presided
over the Lyric meeting In the alb
sence OF Mayor Preston, Benjamin II.
Griswold. one OF the trustees OF
Johns Hopkins University, welcomed
the visitors to the city and fits hos
pitality In the course of his address
the speaker said that Maryland was
twenty-third in the line of illiteracy.
though the school legislation passed
at the last session OF the Legislature
expressed the best thought Of the day
He urged the teachers to instill in the
minds and hearts of their pupils the
spirit of patriotism, telling them the
real causes OF the war and seeking to
persuade them to practice the virtues
of self-sacrifice, economy and conser-
Yation in all things

commit suicide if he was sentenced
to death, and when Judge Moss an
nounced his punishment as life i'm
prisonment he sobbed that something
would happen when he was returned
to Jail. Since he had been sitting by
the side of his wife, the officials fear
ed some instrument might have been
handed him with which he could end
his life, so they took the convicted
man to the Sheriff's Office and search
ed him Nothing, however. was found
on him

nesses, but were ready to proceed

Business Men and Farmers Must Com
bine TO Secure Substantial
Highways.

Just as soon as the business, men
and farmers realize fully how much
poor roads cost them they viii com
bine their efforts in the biggest good
roads movement that was ever
started"
This is the statement of Earle C..
Anthony OF Los Angeles, one of the
Oldest and most prominent OF the big
autom obile distributors on the Pacific
coast following an interview with
Henry r. JOY, president of the Lincoln
Highway association. Upon the occa-
sion Of the recent meeting OF Anthony
and Joy in the east, roads rather than
autom obiles and business was the
principal topic OF conversation. Con-
tinuing on the subject Of national con
cern. Mr.. Anthony says:
The railways have proved made
quate under present conditions and
with the intensive cultivation Of the
ground that is now going on here will
be still larger crops to move than ever
before and motor trucks will be the
means OF transportation. The rail-
ways can not build equipment fast
enough TO take care OF the increased
traffic.
we will not only have transcon-
tinental highways in the near future
that are real highways, but there will
be a system OF laterals developed all
over the country that will act as
feeders"
