Teachers Are Granted
an Increase in Salary
on Graduated Scale

Following the recommendation of
a special committee of the School
Board to grant increases to all teach
ers of the district, it was decided at
yesterdays meeting of the board to
hold a special meeting Monday after
noon, April 20, at 4 o'clock. to act on
the suggestions which have been sub
mitted
The four recommendations of the
special committee, of which A. Carson
Stamm was chairman, were that all
teachers, supervisors or principals en-
titled to increases under the salary
double the. amount of increase; all
grade principals be granted an in
crease of 500 for. next year; all teach
ers at maximum salary and not en-
titled to increase under salary sched-
ule, be given 500 more, and that q
day be set when the board will hear
the committee of teachers on the
recommendations. TrS total increases
viii add more ttsan $4,000 to the
School Board budget and will mean
than one -nalf mill. 1t is believed the
majority of board members favor the
commentators.
Director George A. Werner then
made motion that salaries of all
employees of the district other than
teachers, be given increases on per-
centage basis, 4 per cent. on those re-
ceiving $500 a year, and increasing
oHe-ndII per cent. OQ eaCn 80 decrease
in salary below 5000 This motion
will be acted upon at the special meet
ing also.
Although Director Werner opposed
it because of the high price, the other
members of the board yesterday voted
to purchase the properties adjoining
the Hamilton school from W. Scott
Stroh at cost of $4,000.
The president, secretary, superin-
tendent and Directors Stamm, Boyer
and Werner were named on special

hanna township school board on an

ONE ONE

Bishop Darlington Offers Res
olution to Eliminate Ger
man Language in Nation

Philadelphia, April 20.-A resolu-
ton calling for elimination of the
German language from the public
schools and other public institutions
throughout the United States was
adopted unanimously last night at
the adjourned triennial meeting of
the General Society, Sons of the Rev.
olution. at Congress Hall. Copies of
this message against German "Kul-
tur" will be sent by the society to
college presidents and superintend-
ents of schools in every section of
the United States.
The resolution, offered by Bishop
James Fl. Darlington, of Harrisburg,
states that there should be zone
land, one flag and one language. :"
The 100 delegates in attendance Wig
orously applauded the prelate during
his TRADE against foreign languages,
especially German.
II am in favor of having only one
language in this country" said
Bishop Darlington, who is vice-pres-
ident of the Pennsylvania Society.
especially in the public schools and
other public institutions of learning.
This seems to be a good time to pre-
pare ourselves. There is a strong
feeling against the German language
and it is particularly strong about
this country.
Il feel that there should be one
land, one flag and one language. I
don't think the French people desire
that their language should be taught
in our public schools. The German
language should be kept out of the
parochial and public schools. where
a great deal of disloyalty now ex-
lists.
Applaud Louisiana Patriot
Certain superintendents of public
schools have told me that the Ger
man language would be a great help
TO us in the mercantile line at the
close of the war. / think that we can
do without 1t. Some German books
that have read teach close to dis
loyalty and indorse German propa-
ganda.
The time has come when we must
be out-and-out Americans and do
everything in our power to help our
boys at the front. Fifteen members
of my family have volunteered. I
now move that there be only one
land, one flag and one language"
Following the adoption of the res
olution one Of the delegates from
Louisiana jumped to his feet and eK-
claimed: Il come from Louisiana;
but, sir. we don't talk French any
more down there. The good old Unit
ed States language is good enough in
Louisiana" He was given an ova-
ton.
THE children in the public
schools" continued Bishop Darling
ton, Should not be taught the Ger
man language. I hope that the for
eign-language papers will die out.
We should let the superintendent of
public schools in all sections of the
country know about our action to-
night. Two or three school superin-
tendents told me that they could not
take German out of their curriculum
because high school students are re-
quired to have three years of Ger
man before they can enter college"

be in the open, that there must be no more secret under
standings, no more shuffling the cards under the table.
No one could state the principle better than the
president has himself done it:
"Open covenants Of peace, openly arrived at,
after which there shall be no private international
understandings of any kind, but diplomacy shall
proceed always frankly and in the public view."
More than a year ago Hollweg, speaking for the
German kaiser OF course, agreed to the principle of mo
annexations and no indemnities" with this reservation
GAS I understand it,"
Just what this meant then and means now is illus
trated in Germany's treatment of Russia. Russia is to
have peace, but Germany is to have Poland, Lithuania,
Courland, Rumania and a few other principalities. In
other words she is to hold ever foot of territory now
occupied by German troops.
1t i is fair to assume that Germany would enforce
the same principle in France, Belgium, Italy and every
other country where she has secured a foothold.
Gas I understand it" has had it's day. Henceforth
it is to be as the people of the civilized world under
stand it after a full, free and open discussion.

PASSING OF JACKSON DAY

The extent to which war activities monopolize public
attention is illustrated in the passing of Jackson day
without mention by the Democrats.
Just 1903 years ago, January 8, Andrew Jackson and
his rough frontiersmen beat the British regulars to a
FRAGILE at New Orleans. 1t was one Of the picturesque
victories of American war history.
For many years past the Democrats have been setting
this anniversary apart to sing the praises of "Old Hick-
Dry" and the principles for which he stood. Banquets
and public meetings were held in all parts of the coun-
try and the biggest men in the party were trotted out
to sing the praises of Democracy.
This year the day passed without a ripple anywhere.
This may be because the descendants of General Pack
enham's Redcoats and General Jackson's frontiersmen
are now fighting side by side for the same principles
and against a common enemy. 1t may be because
Democrats, in common with all other Americans, are
convinced that the present is no time for party politics.
Whatever the reason, the course pursued was radically
right. If Andy Jackson were alive today he would
waste little time in talk while fighting was in sight.
