NO LIKELIHOOD OF
SALARY INCREASE
Funds for School Teachers
Salaries Exhausted, Says
Commissioner Hornady

In an effort to have their salaries IN
creased a committee from the Birming-
ham Teachers association is scheduled
to appear before the board of educa-
ton this afternoon. The teachers were
given a raise several months ago.
and. according to Commissioner Hor-
nady of health and education. there Is
little likelihood of them being able to
obtain any increase any time soon
THE entire school appropriation has
been taken up" declared Commissioner
Hornady last night, land don't see
where money for any increase for the
teachers is coming from at present. The
constitutional amendment to be voted
on December 20, is the only hope they
have of getting any raise.
IF the amendment to the constitution
passes, it will enable Birmingham and
other cities in the state to vote addi-
tional taxes for the schools II this
can be brought about and the taxes
can be increased, there is also some
hope of lowering the license schedule
of the city, Birmingham tax rate is
one of the lowest in the country and
deficit in the funds is made up by
licensing.
Taxation is the only good form of
revenue, and it, is the hope of the
Towns committee which is working
to bring about the passage of the con-
stitutional amendment, that in this
way the large license schedule which
is paid throughout Alabama can be
lowered"

NOTABLE SUCCESS
Boys Industrial School Band a Big
Feature-Special Number De-
lighted.Large Audience

Yesterdays community sing at the
Lyric was notable success. The theatre
was filled to capacity and the audience
evidenced its delight from beginning to
end
The prominent feature of the pro-
gramme was the Boys Industrial band.
1t was in the best of form and played its
various numbers with even ensemble and
distinct brilliance
One OF the hits was "Gaiety Polka" a
cornet solo by Glen Richards 9 wears old
Another hit was America a sing piece
by eight girls.
Still another particularly popular num-
her was song by little Bertha Cohen,
9 years Of age.
One OF the numbers of high artistic
merit was the solo sung by II. j. Pos
ner. 1t was rendered with true intona
ton and was greatly enjoyed.
Ed f. Shumway directed the songs for
everybody with his usual snap.

one of quiet satisfaction and optimism
The average citizen had just begun

the country. He had just perceived the
awful calamity which might overwhelm
all industry and social order, and which

Of gathering the greatest crop for the
benefit of democratic civilization the
world has ever offered. To leave the
world without league of nations
would be to desert the undertaking

better would it have been that we

We are under as solemn an obliga-

We send missionaries into all parts

We should now form an alliance by
which self government is everywhere

democracy and a better civilization
everywhere.
How will it look in history, that
the United States Of America foisted
upon the world democracy and while
yet in its swaddling clothes, behold
