GIVE 1T TO THEM

The directors of School District
No. have decided 10 go to the vot.
ers and ask permission to increase
the salaries of the teachers. Ii will
call for an addition to next years
budget of Si50O. This win mean so
little to the taxpayer and so much
to the teachers, that we doubt IL
there will be single vote against.
We are certain there would be a
vote against il il the property own
ers were as familiar with the little
sacrifices, the hardships, the self
denials OF the brave little women
who are working so hard to teach
the children of this city as we are.
We know of one teacher who has
slept in a room without a fire all
this winter, Just TO save two dollars
q month. We know of others who
spend their spare time washing and
meIding, so as 10 enable them to
make both ends meet. We know that
practically all of them daily deny
Il emselves the little comforts and
PLEASURES and nick-knacks so dear to
the heart of the average woman. All
because the pay they are getting is
insufficient.
There has been practically no in
crease in the salaries of teachers in

The pay of the teachers in District
No. /, is close to the lowest in the
state, and this fact is a disgrace in-
stead Of credit. II should be the
proud boast of this district that IL
pays the highest salaries to its
teachers of any district in the state.
Such claim would be an asset, for
1t would bring to us the best teach
ers on the Coast and it would keep
them here. We have lost some of our
best teachers because they could go
elsewhere and get better salaries.
The minimum salary of any teach
e. IN this district should be $1,000 a.
year-$100 a month for twelve
months. This should be increased
ten per cent year until every teach
er was getting $500 year. The an
plan OF paying for only nine
months in the year should be aban-
doned. just as every antiquated me-
thod in the schools has been thrown
out The teachers should have the
vacation time for rest, study and i'm
provement both mentally and ply

ducement to return to the district

II Is natural to resent criticism. We
dislike anything that shakes our self.
complacency or compels us TO think.
Here and there man has learned the
real service Of criticism and usually
he is a man who has attained to more
than average success In life. We are
all more or less like the proverbial os-

10 JURORS SECURED
FOR WILKINS TRIAL
Prosecution Sends Here for
Woman Witness in Min
cola Murder Case,

Only two places remained to be filled
in the Jury yesterday when Justice
Manning, who IL presiding at the trial
of DR.. Walter X. Wilkins In Mineola
for the murder of his wife, adjourned
court because counsel had exhausted
the special panel.
There were seventy-two prospective
jurymen on hand when court opened.
and four from among them were added
to the six who had been selected on
Monday, the first day of the trial.
Another panel Of sixty will be on hand
to-day.
The first man to be accepted yester-
day was John b. G. Prince, a telephone
installation expert who returned from
France two months ago. where he held,
a commission in the Signal Corps He
is "a years old and lives at Baldwin.
William Fletcher, also 81, of Valley
Stream, was the second man chosen. He
at one time was a bank clerk and Is
now a successful farmer. Chauncey
Baker of Glen Head took the ninth seat
in the box. He Is 35 and a travelling
salesman. The last Juror picked was
John =. Hayden, 55, florist Of Floral
Park.
DR.. Wilkins. who on the first two days
of his trial prepared and issued press
and confidence OF acquittal, was silent
yesterday. District Attorney Weeks
made 1t a point to ask prospective jury
men IL they had read either of the state
ments DR.. wilkins has given out.
Just before court adjourned two sub
poena servers were sent to this city in
quest Of a woman witness long wanted

Mr.. Phillips denied that he recon-
mended to the Legislature In 1915 an
extension for 1--WE years of the stock dis
posal period at the request Of the Asso-
citation Of Life Insurance Presidents, but
he explained he might have had a talk
with Mr.. Cox OF that association or the
vice-president OF the Equitable that
some such action would have to be
taken.
Don't you know" asked counsel,
that the Legislature wanted to get
these men out OF Wall Street?"
THEY did, and kept them out They
have not been permitted to buy stocks

Mr. Untermyer studied insurance re-
ports and directory of directors and
asked the witness II he knew that Presi-
dent Peabody OF tho Mutual, which
owned $556,000 IN stocks of the Illinois
Central, was president OF that railroad
company. Mr.. Phillips didn't know.
