ATLANTA SCHOOL SYSTEM
is FACING GRAVE CRISIS

Atlanta, Ga, Aug, 23.-The Allan
"a public school system is facing one
Of the grave crises of its history in
the whole sale resignation of large
numbers of its best teachers who are
leaving because Of their inability to
secure higher salaries.
The steadily increasing pressure Of
the higher cost of living due to the
Nar, and the large number 81 very
advantageous positions opened to
women for the same reason are re-
acting against the policy Of the city,
or the inability of the city, to give
higher pay to its teachers.
The teachers, i'll organized bodies,
have asked several times for an in
crease of salary, pointing out that
the cost OF living is constantly in
crcasing and that all other branches
CT industry and the professions are
naturally securing higher pay, the
teachers alone being expected to con-
tinue on the low salary of years.

GIVE WAR STAMPS
FOR CHRISTMAS GIFT

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 23.-Although
Christmas seems long way off just
now, the provident planner knows
that December Is comes by lightning
like leaps after August is past; and
already, those who have the wish to
give friends at Christmas time are
muling over the question.
To begin with, the Council of Nat
ional Defence is asking that Christ
mas giving this year be limited i'll
view of the war; and that luxuries
and frivolities be eliminated from the
list of gifts.
In view of this. the best solution Of
the difficulty is the one adopted even
as far back as last Christmas by DR.:
Anna Howard Shaw, the national
chairman of the Woman's Commit
tee. Dr. Shaw declared that she low
ed to remember her friends, and that
she intended doing SO, but that she
would send war savings stamps to
them instead Of useless gifts.
The suggestion is a good one to
follow, because the little stamp will
carry both the message of Christmas
love and of patriotic devotion.
