Some of this credit has been used

for education, especially in modern

Many more agriculture teachers of

out Of proportion to his diminutive

name OF "Cootie." and is reported to
have voluntarily deserted the Hun

Americans during one of the hard
drives of the 1st Division against the
Germans.

Urged Recognition of Union.

1t Is understood that Miss Alice Deal
president of the High School Teachers
Union, urged recognition Of the unions
request that a basic salary of $500
for high school teachers be incorpor-
ated in the boards estimates for next
year. Miss Maude E. Alton, president
OF the Grade School Teachers Union,
is understood to have submitted a ten
tative report of a committee of the
union asking for the same basic SAL
ary for grade school teachers
Henry Draper. president of the High
School Principals Association, is un-
derstood to have spoken in support Of
the requests of Miss Deal. The meet
ing lasted until / o'clock and prob
ably will result in further conferences
on the same subject, as the topic was
not thoroughly exhausted at today's
conference.
The Department of Labor, in its
monthly Labor Review. says that the
average salary for public school teach.
ers in the United States in 1914 was
s543.31; that is. "s1.73 per working
day throughout the year, or $1.4s per
living day throughout the year"
Since that time teachers in the Dis
trict of Columbia have been awarded
the bonus of $240 given to all Fed
eral and District employees and have
had several upward revisions of sal
airy, but teachers hold that present
salaries do not meet their needs.

tions in the several Army hospitals.
There will be $50 young women
representing the public schools and
the various welfare organizations

from an artistic and historic stand
point. 1t will contain an illustra ted

nesday. September Il. instead of on

1t is understood that the general

for transporting all of the equipment
here would have been too vast to

armies, 1t was noted by a member of
the general staff today that the troops
that march with Gen. Pershing up the

at the battle of Bull Run. Not only
VIII there be more men in line, but
they will have more rifles, cannon,
horses and wagons. not to mention
machine guns, motor trucks and
tanks. such as Gen. Mcdowell never
dreamed of.
There will be fleet" Of twenty
