bany to impress upon the lawmakers of
the Empire State the absolute necessity
Of higher wages in order to enable them
TO meet the largely increased cost of liv-
ing.
Declaring that it would cost New York
city anywhere from $4,000, 600 to $40, 600, 600
If the proposed teachers salary increase
bills were put through, City Comptroller
Craig faced ore than 500 teachers from
all parts of inc State in opposing before
the cities committee, legislation to give
teachers more money. He urged that the

COLLEGES AND OUR SOLDIERS

The visit of Major General Clarence r.
Edwards to the University Of Vermont
and Norwich University has served to re-
new appreciation of the close relations
which have existed since the war with
Germany began. between the universities
and colleges of the land and our soldiers.
The tribute which Genera Edwards paid
To the military department of the Uni
versity of Vermont was as creditable to
the students who greeted him with due
military honors as 1t must have been graft
flying to Col. ~Leonhaeuser, their military
instructor and official head. Not a few
of the men in the famous Twenty-sixth
Division commanded by General Edwards
had gained some knowledge of military
matters in connection with colleges
Moreover some of the colleges had come
into closer touch than ever before
through the utilizing Of their facilities
by the war department Of the United
States for the training of troops for diff
ferent branches of the military service
while the war was in progress.
1t now transpires that by using the ex-
listing colleges and universities instead
OF erecting new institutions for the re-
training of disabled soldiers. the fedora
board of vocational education has saved
the government approximately $25, 900, 600
Many of the nations leading colleges are
now cooperating with the board to give
fit them for productive activity. Our re,
turning soldiers are thu discovering tina
at least the colleges and universities O.
their republic are not ungrateful.
