tenn for Teachers.

Increased pay for teachers in the
public schools and retirement and
pension system for teachers were
urged by the public schools commit
tee of the Board of Trade at a meet
ing yesterday afternoon.
The committee took stand in op-
position to the so-called King bill,
providing for abolishment of the ex-
listing school system and substitution
of what is known as the Scharf plan.
The King measure would do away
with the board of education. while
providing for appointment Of su-
perintendent of schools by the Presi-
dent
Free text books for public school
pupils also were urged by the COM
mittee. as was some measure that
would relieve principals of graded
schools from classroom work. The
committee also urged additional ap-
preparations for new technical high
school and graded schools in Petworth
and on Spring road.
At a meeting of the boards COM
mittee on universities yesterday the
committees report. to be presented at
the annual meeting in November, was
discussed. Among the recommended
tions in the report is one urging an
amendment to the District code pro-
viding for better regulation of in
Stitutions of higher education in the
District.
At last nights meeting applications
of eighteen new members received
favorable consideration.

Long Ago

The dear old times of long
ago seem far away and hazy,
the good old times we used to
know, before the world went
crazy. We trotted to our divers
tasks, contented early risers,
and put our savings down in
casks, nor fretted over kaisers.
We followed then the base ball
games, and thrashed them over
nightly, and to the movies took
cur danes, when lights were
glowing brightly. All, life was
then serene and sweet, a pleas
ant. cheerful cycle; and no one
had it in for Pete, or cussed the
name of Michael. But now our
RACES never stop, we're hot be-
meath our collars; if for an hour
| cease to yawp, some other fell
low hollers. Each voter packs
around a brick, and brazen
knucks we carry. We take a fall
from Tom to Dick, and throw
some rocks at Harry. We don't
know why our heads are sore,
we don't know why we're rat
tied, but still we rant and walk
the floor, as when the nations
battled. Oh, for the happy
golden days, when we sat round
and twittered, and talked OF
whiskers we could raise, and not
a heart embittered. Oh, for the
bygone peaceful nights, when,
done with daily labors, we
smoked our pipes and few our
kites, like sane and kindly
neighbors. WALT MASON.
