TEACHERS PLEDGE
PATRIOTIC SERVICE
Say They Will Keep Real Issues
of the War Ever Before
Their. Pupils

A ringing patriotic note was inject
ed into the closing session OF the
teachers institute here last Friday
when the two hundred teachers Of the
public schools of Benton and Frank
lin counties pledged themselves to
spare no effort to make clear to their
pupils the great principle for which
tn eUnited States is fighting and to
emphasize the necessity for food con-
!servation.
The resolutions unanimously adopt
ed by the teachers follow:
We, the teachers of Benton and
Franklin counties, in institute assem-
bled, offer the following resolutions
of thanks:
To the members of the Kennewick
school board for the use of the high
school building, and for the presenta-
ton of the folders containing patri-
otto songs;
To the Kennewick citizens for their
hospitality in opening their homes to
the teachers;
To the Kennewick Commercial
Club for Wednesday evenings picnic;
To Supt. Lewis and the Commercial
Club committee for the reception;
To the instructors, whose untiring
efforts made possible the excellent
program which we have enjoyed;
And last, but not least, to the coun-
ty school superintendent, Mrs. Iowa
M. Crawford and Mr.. E. M. Dorsey,
whose work has contributed so large
ly to the success of this institute.
Be it further resolved:
That wa view with favor the estab-
lishment of Normal school CORES
pondence courses and of study CEN
tiers for the promotion of extension
work;
That we recommend that the plan
of joint institute be continued;
That, in this trying hour, we pledge
anew our allegiance to the cause of
democracy, and that we spare no eff
fort to make clear to our pupils the
issues involved in the present world
struggle, not neglecting to emphasize
the necessity of food conservation as
recommended by Herbert Hoover;
That we express our strong disap-
prevail Of the character Of the ques-
ton selected by the state Office for
the interscholastic debates, on ac-
count of the fact that no material on
this question is available, which cir
cumstance is certain to force the
smaller high schools out of debating
activity;
That the rising cost Of living makes
imperative in many cases an increase
In teachers wages to correspond to
this advance in living expenses, and
that we recommend to the county
superintendent, Mrs. Iowa M. Craw-
ford and Mr.. E. M. Dorsey, that a
study of wage schedules in their re-
spective counties be made and that
they recommend to school boards in
creases in salaries wherever investi-
cation shows such increase to be adj
visable.
