The London housing program is to

The committee also plans to raZe
insanitary dwellings and to replaee
them with more approved structures.

ROCKVILLE AND COUNTY

ROCKVILLE. Md, September IL
High salaries paid in Washington in
contrast with the small pay allowed
public school teachers Of this city are
playing havoc with the county's
teaching force. Tho people are awak-
ening to the seriousness of the sit
uation.
Because Of a dearth Of teachers,
brought about by many entering the
government service at Washington, it
has been found necessary to close a
number of schools, among them being
those at Travilah, Derwood. Wayside,
Olney, Goshen and Montrose. The
children of these schools are daily
transported in auto trucks to and
county paying the expense.
Notwithstanding the closing Of these
schools there is still a shortage Of
eight or ten teachers. Under present
conditions, the number is sure to in
crease.
Some teachers receive as little as $40
and few more than SOS a month Many
are required to live away from home
and pay board.
A teacher stated in Rockville yes
terday that after paying her board
and other necessary living expenses

married, have, as patriotic duty,
