BETTER SALARIES FOR SCHOOL
TEACHERS.
Higher Standard OF Education MUS
BE Maintained--Justice To
Teachers Demands 1t.

The question of better salaries for
our public school teachers is receiv-
ing the belated attention of those
interested in educational affairs in
our State, and an organized effort Is
being made to get higher wage
scale for the teachers. State Comp
troller McMullen in discussing the
question of better compensation for
public school teachers says:
The public schools of Maryland
are rightly considered one of the
very fundamental necessities of gov
eminent. The future good govern
ment- of any political unit depends
entirely upon the training Of the
children who are to become its cit
liens.
The child who has a good moral
training and who has received an
education to fit it for the highest
duties of life, is great acquisition
to society
The public schools of Maryland
are doing great work and the quail
ity of that work should be constant
ly improved as the years go by. In
order to do this it is essential that
the teachers in the schools should be
men and women of tho highest char
acter, of strong mentality, equipped
with knowledge and trained for their
profession.
If we are to have this desirable
condition it is necessary that those
who devote themselves to the pro-
fession of teaching should receive a
just and fair salary for the services
they render. At present the salaries
paid school teachers are very low
when compared with those paid in
other lines of work demanding the
same intelligence and training.
For this reason many teachers are
leaving the schools of Maryland to
take up commercial work or to ac-
cept appointments as teachers in
other States where the salaries paid
are larger than in Maryland
AS l see the question the greatest
necessity is to maintain the highest
standard of education in the State OF
Maryland and If to do this a greater
expenditure of money is required,
am in favor of it, because, first. it is
necessity, and secondly, it is no
more than simple justice to those
who devote their lives to teaching
the children that they be properly
recompensed for their services.
/ am informed that seventy-five
teachers have resigned in one of the
larger counties, sixty in another,
fifty in another, and in the smaller
counties number corresponding
with the poulation of each.
Unless better salaries are paid the
schools will not only lose the ex-
perienced and efficient teachers they
now have, but ambitious young peo-
pie will not be attracted 10 the pro-
fession.

Agriculture calls upon the country
to double poultry production next
year. That can be done If the farm
will keep an average of 100 hens
instead of an average OF 40 hens
as at present, and If every family II

PLANS 10 ELIMINATE WASTE.
wity senator Preparing Bill For
State Market.

Senator William i. Norris, of Bal
,timore city, will introduce a bill
soon after the legislature convenes,
which is designed to help the food
problem this year. Senator Norris
proposes to cut out the middieman
altogether and through the agency
of the state bring the producer and
consumer together. His plan is to
create a state market commission
with headquarters in Baltimore, to
whom farmers and other growers
can ship their produce, receiving
there-frorn their market value
These goods are then to be placed on
sale at the prices agreed upon, plus
a small commission, which is to be
set aside to meet the cost of trans
portation and handling.
There is to be no difference in the
cost to any buyer, whether intended
for the wholesale or retail trade OF
the consumer himself. The funda-
mental purpose is to aid IN the con-
servation of food by eliminating
waste.
The cost of handling which Is tc
come out of the commission charged
by the state will include the salary
of the market commissioner, so thai
Athere will be no expense to the state
Senator Norris believes that both
rmer and consumer can be bene
ed materially If his bill is enacted
- law, the City Community
i having already evidenced the
llity Of his plan.

The powerful German offensive,

comrades and to the science of the

This certainly marks a decisive
turn in the war, justifying the pro-
found satisfaction and the great
hopes felt by the army committee"

MEXICANS IN U. S.
WILL. WORK OUT
PEACE SOLUTION

Metcalf, Ariz.. July 3.-A proclama-
tion calling upon all Mexicans living
in the United States to form clubs for
a peaceful solution Of the Mexican
land problem, has been issued here
signed by 20 Of the leading Mexicans
Of this town. The plan, as outlined
in this proclamation printed in Span
ish, includes the organization of these
clubs throughout the United States
where 10 or more Mexicans live. a
1t is proposed in this manifesto to
prepare for the colonization Of the
fertile lands o now under cultivation
in Mexico. To do this each member
Is asked to contribute 81 each a
month to the fund which is to be used
in sending back Mexicans to settle on
the lands which are held by the gov
eminent. No military or political at
fairs are to be permitted to enter in
to this scheme and arrangements with
the federal government are to be
made to allot the government lands to
those who consent to return.
The plan was first investigated by
United States officers who thought it
might be a clandestine effort Of Ger
man agents to have Mexicans return
when their labor Is most needed in
the United States. But the plan was
found to be free from any political. or
racial bias and the proclamation per-
mitted to circulate through the mails.
