Atlanta, June 1.-THE inyestiga.

commission on the Feeble Minded
nave been completed, and DR.. V. v.
| Anderson, the commissions scientific
expert, will render complete report
on the results to a meeting of that
BODY on Monday. While no definite
fgures are obtainable prior to the
tlme that the report is submitted. It
is understood that the situation in
Georgia is found to be in bad shape
ana that recommendations for imme-
date and effective measures will be
advocated.
During the course of the investi-
cations, the special workers attached
to the commission have visited scores
OF institutions, such as schools, re-
formatories, jails and orphanages,
making detailed inspection of the in
mates.
The first study dealt with the re-
Iationship between feeble-minded-
ness and pauperism and dependency.
Several degenerate families in Geor-
gia were surveyed thro Ugh several
generations of history, and the in
mates of certain orphanges were in
spected. Next, in arriving at the re-
lationship between mental deficiency
and adult crime, the state prison and
several county jails, typical of their
class, were visited. To arrive at the
juvenile vice and delinquency stu
alton several institutions were chos-

cases were taken from the Atlanta
stockade and jails in various parts of
the state, from which to secure the
necessary data. The relationship of
mental deficiency to educational de-

ascertained by visiting schools in vari-
sections. W. be-

will be taken at the session of the
legislature the latter part or this

EXAMINING BOARD
HAS DIFFICULT JOB
HANDLING CLAIMS REPATRIA.
TON TO UNITED STATES.

Winchester, Eng, May 10, CORES
pondence of the Associated Press. y
American and British authorities dele
gated to examine the thousands of sol
diers in the British army who claim
to repatriation to the United States
are having difficult job Many OF
them are adventurous individuals who
nave roamed the globe and now want
to go to America at the expense of the
British government.
Up to date the British government
has received more than 10000 appli
cations for repatriation for those who
say they have right to be sent to
the United States. About 5000 have
been certified. hundreds have been re.
1ected and the applications keep com.
ing
The British government agreed
when the United States entered the
war to send home after the war any
American citizens who joined the Brit
ish army and also any citizen of Al
lied nationality who had previously
established residence in the United
States. The authorities are not hav-
ing much trouble with the first cate
CORY but the latter one is bringing on
no end of complications.
A board of military and civil Off
GERS which examined men collected at
the camp here formerly used as rest
camp by American troops had so
many difficulties that the aid of Lieu
tenant A. Kane and later a represen-
tative of the United States Consul
Generals office in London, was re-
quested.
Lieut.. Kane was selected because
of his knowledge of many cities in the
United States and his general &C

They do not know Bell Isle and they
do not get TO the United States.
Lieutenant Kane has q stock of
such questions concerning most OF the
cities of the country and if they can
be correctly answered it IS reasonable
TO suppose that the soldier has a just
claim and he is passed.
While there are many such cases
they are in the minority Most OF
those who apply are men who wanted
to get into the fight as quickly as they
could and calculated they had bet

These men are being given every
available facility TO go home.

DENVER MEAT PRICES
CUT BY LIBEL SALES

Material reduction In the cost OF
meat. estimated st Is per cent. has
been brought about in Denver
through the sale Of 1ibeiled stores.
according to the report of the United
States district attorney at Denver
to the Attorney General
The report states. that approx
mately 100000 pounds of shoulder
clods" held In storage by Swift a
Company and by the Colorado Pack
ing & Provision Company, q SUBJ
sidiary OF Armour q Company was
subjected to libel proceedings The
meat men claimed that the house
wives would not buy this class OF
meat. but agreed to q demonstra-
tion sale by the Federal authorities
without invoking their legal rights
TO resist the libel
The first sale resulted In the dis
posal of $4,000 pounds of shoulder
clods." which are used for pot roasts
and boiling. at Is cents per pound
This sale exceeded all expectations
according to the Denver district at
torney. and resulted in creating .
demand which continued until all
clods in storage were sold.

Poor Pay DriUing Teachers
into the Business World
Efficiency of Washington Schools Endangered
By Losses, Superintendent Thurston
Declares in Report.

Keeping the underpaid school teach
or on the job will be q difiicult prob
lem during the present school term.
1t Is predicted by Supt. Ernest L.
Thurston, In his annual report, inside
public yesterday.
In the last term the teaching ranks
of the white and colored teachers
were depleted by 20. Of which ~
were permanent losses, caused by
death and resignations. One hundred
and three were granted leaves OF alb
sence on account Of war work, sick
ness and continuation studies.
While numerous replacements for
these losses were obtained from the
4l9 eligibies who passed the teach
ers' examination during the year. q
great loss OF efficiency was suffered
through the resignation OF expert.
enced teachers.
Standard Maintained.
Frequently replacements could not
be assigned directly to the points
at which vacancies occurred, and this
resulted In promotions and transfers
within the teaching force which af-
fected the work of the classes.
Up to the present time the Wash
ihBtou cShooiS nave Ottu IOftundtc IN
maintaining their usual high stand
ard but, II is said. unless some
speedy action is taken to increase
the pay Of all teachers. 1t Is improba-
BILE that the present standard Of
teaching efficiency can be maintained.
Mr.. Thurston further says that the
greatest problem confronting the
school system during the past four
years was that OF keeping the teach
ing force together against the offers
Of higher salaries in the business
world. and that the problem will be
equally as great during the coming
year.
b Salaries Inadequate.
The present low salaries not only
drive desirable teachers from the
work, but decrease the efficiency OF
those who remain through making
living conditions difficult and pre-.
cluding proper rest and recreation
when they are away from the class
room. the report says.
Under normal conditions there Ia
far too great q tendency to regard
the teaching profession as . tran

siept calling. but at the present time
many who are professionally quail
ned and experienced are leaving the
profession for more lucrative felds.
according to Mr.. Thurston. This. of
course, results in serious loss to the
school system. for II L. this class OF
teachers who give stamina and NOR
ale to the teaching army OF our
country.
During the school year Of lsls-ls1s
the basic salary OF our lowest-paid
teachers was increased from 500 to
$50, but Mr.. Thurston claims this has
proved wholly Inadequate, and the
board took q necessary step when 1t
sought to establish a minimum wage
Of H.Soo a year for the teachers.
Urges Junior High.
The adoption OF a Junior nigh school
Is also urged as a solution Of the
problem Of accommodating additional
pupils in the high schools. Mr.. Thurs
ton suggests the reorganization Of the
school work on the plan OF six years
grade instruction following the kinder
garten year, three years of Junior
high school and three years Of senior
high school. Under this plan the
pupils would receive the same work
as they now receive during the first
six years Of their schooling. and the
six years to be devoted to secondary
education would be divided into a
juior and q senior period. In the
Junior period an effort would be made
to aid the pupil to explore his own
aptitudes and to make a provisional
choice of his vocation: in The senior
period emphasis would be given to
training in the fields he has chosen.
Recommendation is also made that
principals be freed from all class
room duties in order to have more
time for administrative work and the
grouping together of a number OF
grade buildings under one supervisory
principal.
The balance of the report is taken
up with recommendations In regard 10
the improvement of speech defects.
health crusades among the pupils. and
the use OF school buildings as COM
munity centers.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS MAY BE CONVERTED
 INTO CERTIFICATES
War Loan Headquarters Tells How Stamps May Be Changed Into $1OO and $1,000 Ger
 tificates

SAN FRANCISCO. July 15-The War Loan Organization of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District has just been advised that hereafter War Saving Stamps may be converted into Savings Certificates of $1OO and s1, 900 denominations according to a new plan of the Savings Division or the U. S. Treasury Department to afford greater convenience in hand ling War Savings Securities.
 The development of the War Say ings idea is one that has been urged for sometime in order to attract larger Investments The holder of a sufficient number of Thrift Stamps may now exchange them for $a War Savings Stamp and in turn the holder of twenty of the $5 War Say ings Stamps may convert them into S100 Savings Certificate or the holder of two hundred of the $J Stamps may turn them in for $l,0ot Savings Certificate.
 Conversion may be made at al l first and second class postofhces ano 
 at all banks and trust companies that have qualified as agents Of tho second class. The Treasury Savings l Certificates are to be issued in reg istered form and will bear the names of the owners. They will yield 1oul per cent compounded quarterly as dS the War Savings Stamps. The linn | ,nyf mains at s1.000.
 The new Treasury Savings Certl fcates should prove particularly at tractive for the investment or tn' funds of fraternal societies, lapo unions and other civic, social ana re ligious organizations because the Tn terest is added to the principal au tomatically each quarter the entir' amount being payable at maturity,
