In transmitting his gift to the board,
Mr.. Rockefeller said:
The attention of the American pub

and immediate necessity of providing
more adequate salaries to members of
the teaching profession. 1t is Of the
highest Importance that those entrusted
with the education of youth and the
increase of knowledge should not be led
to abandon their calling by reason Of fl

Set Ahead of Legislative Delay.
The Esch- Cummins bill designated to
meet conditions incident to the return
of the roads now is in conference. with
the prospect that an agreement on dlt-
ferences between the house and senate
will be threshed out before March !.
While one provision of the bill would
order the return of the roads at the
end of the caldendar month in which the
bill was approved. it was considered
hardly likely that an agreement wonl1
be reached quickly enough TO put the
roads back February l. or one month
earlier than ordered by the president.
There are indications of lively fight
before either house adopts the other 8
position on anti-strike clauses of the
bill or the question of continuing the
government guarantee to the roads un-
til they can obtain increased rates to
meet advanced operating costs. Also. it
was said tonight in congressional
quarters that. because of the president 5
decision no attempt would be made to
rush through the necessary legislation.
Old Stats on Job.
Inasmuch as the staffs of the various
systems have been retained virtually in
tact by the railroad administration. the
return of the railroads to private control
will involve legal and financial rather
than operating questions. Those depart
ments of the railroad administration will
remain in existence with increased per-
sonncl for months after the operating
officers have left the government SER
vice. Swagar Sherley. former chairman
of the house appropriations committee
and now director of finance for the rail
road administration. probably will be
the man chosen to wind up the govern
ment's business.
Express Merger Desires to Continue.
Busy programs face the express com

Making Markets Pay.
Community markets have not been
successful in all instances, but where
there are reasonable number of pro-
ducers who can be interested in at
tending a market which is convenient
ly located for the purchasing public,
success in many cases has been
marked. To be most successful the
market should be supported by some
public-spirited organization, such as
the chamber of commerce or
woman's club, and the city govern
ment should be interested in the move
ment. Experience shows that there
always develops a need for a market
master who will have direct supervi-
sion over the conduct Of the market
and see that all rules are enforced.
Every market should have regulations
as to allotment of selling space, uni
form opening and closing hours, no
price fixing or profteering, fair
weights and measures, no loud solicit
tation of trade, and the proper dis
pOsal of refuse.
| Local conditions of supply and de-
mand will determine whether the mar
ket should be held daily Or less fire.
quently. In most places two or three
days a week will be all that is re-
quired. 1t is better to have a flourish
ing market for short hours on two
days a week than an unthrifty one on
three or more days. Simple knock
down counters Or tables for the dis
play Of vegetables and other products
may be provided, or sales may be made
direct from the wagons. Each pro-
Queer should be required to pay
nominal price for his stand or privi-
lege of selling, this money to go for
the upkeep Of the market.
Prices at the community market to
attract farmers. must be higher than
wholesale quotations, while if they
are not lower than at retail stores
the consumers gain nothing in patro-
nizing them. Some markets have
found it desirable to have q bulletin
board in a conspicuous place upon
which are given current wholesale
and retail store prices to be used as
a guide in establishing prices Of prod
ucts on the market. Growers are then
either encouraged or compelled to sell
about midway between the two.
