Not Necessary to Fix Price of
Cotton.

Fixing prices on raw cotton IS un-
necessary and impracticable, President
Wilson will be told by the cotton in
vestigating committee Of the War II
drstries board. This announcement
was made Thursday night by DIR.
Thomas w. Page, chairman Of the
committee.
The committees conclusions, DR..
Page said, was based on the fact
that there is no prospective shortage
of ct tton and the : If that tie cot
ton T. stributic,, .oEcn:ittee al secure
a proportionate marketing of the low
er as we'll as the higher grades of
cotton more effectively by other meth
DDS. Continuance of the work OF this
committee is recommended.
DR.. Pages statement was said to
embody the essential points OF the re-
port which the committee will present
soon to the President. 1t said there
will be no way of enforcing fixed
price exoep. through "thc readiness OF
tuc government to purchase the en-
tire cotton crop.
This, the statement continued, would
involve the closing Of cotton eX.
changes while merchants, bankers End
other Intermediates would be serious
ly affected and many probably be put
entirely out of business. The estab.
,l,ilraent at great cost Of government
system Of inspection and certlflcatioI
also would be necessary, it was said
If price-f,x'Lg were undertaken.

TEACHERS TO DISCUSS
INCREASE IN SALARIES
Plan to Relieve Stress Will Be
Considered by Associa.
ton October )
Photo by Photo-C

A plan to meet the immediate stress for
better salaries for teachers. which is one OF
the gravest problems facing the Board of
Education, has been suggested and will be
presented for consideration before the
Teachers Association by Miles Emprey.
chairman of the association and principal of
the jefferson Public School. on October 8.
ITO relieve the heavy stress, it has been
suggested that a sum of money be raised
locally, either by loan or by whatever means
seem best to the Board of Education, so that
n bonus can be added to the salaries at the
end of the first school term said Mr.. En-
prey. This would tide over the difficulties
until January when we are all looking for
the passage of the bill which will allow a
raise of school taxes with which the salaries
OF the teachers can be increased.
The shortage in teachers has been a
serious problem this year. There is a de-
while many women came back to the job
through sheer loyalty, it is quite probable
that several will fall out during the year IL
nothing is done to raise their salaries to a
reasonable living wage.
THE two aims on which it seems that we
should fix our efforts are the raising of the
money here in Philadelphia which will make
some slight but immediate increase in the
salaries to tide over the crisis until the bill
can be passed. and on the passage of the bill,
which will be introduced as a war measure
in the next session of the State Legislature. -
Superintendent of Schools CARRIER said to-
day he felt confident the bill would be passed
quickly and without opposition.
Doctor CARRIER is opposed to borrowing
any money for the purpose of making the
additional bonus suggested by Mr.. Enprey.
arguing that to do so would be to eat into
future income. He said that so far as the
shortage in teachers was concerned, this
trouble would be temporarily tided over,
since the ruling against married women had
been revoked.
Many women who gave up teaching to
marry have come back to offer themselves
from patriotic motives to fnl the gaps. These
women will carry us through until the bill
is passed. Just how great an increase in
taxes will be asked has not yet been decided,
and this will be discussed on Monday after
noon at the Normal School.
Teachers salaries Is only one item for
which more money is required. ! believe,
too, that the teachers salary should not only
be sufficient for her to live on. but should
also be sufficient for her to get the advan-
tages necessary to broaden out and improve
In her work. and allow her also a margin
for saving. After the question has been set
tied. there is still the tremendous need for
improvements in the buildings-improvements
in innumerable and vitality important mat
tiers.
"In England the Government is bearing
one-half the expense of the public schools
Here the State should bear part of the ex-
pense of what Is one of the most important
factors in its growth and welfare"
