TEACHERS VOTE
(contlnned froaa Page one.)

to the teachers as referendum, but
merely to obtain an expression of
their sentiment Three thousand three
hundred and thir.y-six teachers voted
for a complete revision of the school
law; 1861 voted for partial REVISION;
Ill voted for no revision. They IA
vored higher qualifications for teach
ers, 2,520 voting for complete high
school course and at least one year in
normal school for all teachers, 1.7S3
voting for one year high school edu-
cation and some professional work;
while only 1898 voted for no change,
In present requirements,
Compulsory Attendance Law
Most of the teachers favored a min
imum term OF eight months. 2,43o vot-
ing that way. while 1.516 voted for
nine months. S74 for seven months and
SOC for six months. A large majority
voted in favor of making minimum
salaries Cor firstf second and third
grade certificates. $50, $40 and SEQ a
month respectively.
A new law requiring attendance
five days a week for the entire term
of school, was favored by 1857 teach
ers, only 1.429 supporting a strict en-
forcement of the present compulsory
school law.
Only two proposals in the new code
were disapproved. One of these re-
lated to the manner of selecting
county superintendent and the other
referred to the state superintendent.
On the former 2,765 favored eontinu-
ance of the present method of elect
ing the county superintendent by di-
rect vote. and 2,644 favored his Sc
lection by appointment by the coun-
ty board OF education to consist of
the presidents OF the district boards
of the county

The proposal for changing the man
iiNi Vi StiVSSih5 the Hittb
dent is not included in the new code,
because change in the state consti-
tuition would be required to alter the
present method Of selecting him by
direct vote, but the sentiment of the
teachers was desired in the event the
legislature should be asked to submit
a constitutional amendment
1t is possible that, knowing this
caused some of The 1924 teachers to
vote for retaining the present meth
cd of election, for, despite that, o.
052 teachers voted to have the state
superintendent appointed by the state
board of education. A total of 2,916
teachers voted for the establishment
of one state board to have general
charge of all schools, both state and

Want Inteesrt Of Nation Sacrificed
Washington, Aug. lS.-Hcld for Aus
trian court martials, which probably
Will sentence them to death, 125 Polish
soldiers and officers who led an armed
revolt in the Austrian army in Feb
ruary have issued two appeals to the
Polish people throughout the world
asking them not to compromise the
freedom Of Poland with the idea of
securing any allcviation Of their pros
pcctive sentences, according TO dis
patches received here today by The
Associated Press. Th officers and men
are part Of the Polish-C -Carpathian
Hon Brigade, which revolted last Feb
ruary, seized arms and provisions and
marched from BukOwina into Bessa-
rabia under the command Of General
Hallcr Part Of the force was cap
turcd, bnt the larger portion is said to
have been consolidated with the
Schcz-Slovak army.
The revolt was undertaken dclib-
crately, the p lish soldiers declare
N one of their appeals, with the hope
Of disrupting Austria and obtaining
freedom for Poland
''Thc fear that tormrnts," accord
ing to tho text Of the appeal to the
Polish nation. "is that the. \ Polish
strength. so vital to the success of
our holy cause, may be lcsscncd by
the attempts Of our political repre-
3cntativcs in the Austrian parliament
to secure for us relief or to avert the
fate that awaits us.
"It is therefore, in our name and
that Of our soldiers that we plead
ardcntly with the Polish nation
which has surrounded us with such
moral comfort to take full cognizance
OF our words and to dcsist from OK
crcising any influence in our case on
the Polish Parliamentary club in Aus
tria. If th"y make any attempt to Sc
cure concessions for us, it will be
contrary TO our wishes for we know
that such concessions can only be had
by pledges, compromises and commit
mcnts, which will make 10 the detri-
mcnt Of tho Polish nation, and the les
sening Of the strength in the battle
for Polish freedom and independence"

ed particularly 10 the colorcd part of
ne audience present to use every pre-
caution to reduce the agencies which
bring on disease and to follow the ad-
vice Of physicians in overcoming that
what has already been contracted. He
tied tho vast number Of cases OF So
cial diseases found among the sol
diers that had been called to camp
and showed that this great menace to
the armies Of the United States had
been reduced by proper treatment and
that 1t could be reduce dsimilary

care were taken. He urged that ev-
cry man, woman and child should hold
periodical consultations with their
physicians so that such diseases could
be treated in their early stages when

in the great conflict now going on.
DR.. W. H. Dial. who came in during
the meeting. made few extcmporan-
eous remarks endorsing the advice Civ
en- by Prof. Young. urging screening
and cleanliness in the homes. "If you
want to raise flies" he said, don't
raise them at home but build you a
special place down on the creek and
raise them there. The home is no place
for them"
