COUNTRY SUPI. SCHOOLS
 URGES AGRI COURSE
Would Have Practical Agriculture Introduced as part of Rural School Work.

F. Garland May, superintendent of schools, has just returned from a visit to several of the rural schools of the county. He states that he has found conditions fine, and most of the schools he visited had an ex- cellent corps of teachers, and the buildings were modern and we'll equipped.
 Mr May stated that he had one policy which he intended to pursue while he was incumbent. And that was the teaching of agriculture in the county schools. He stated that in so many of the rural schools. where agriculture should be bought home to the children in a practical way, this was not done.
 The organization of clubs of vari- ous sorts among the children, he stated would help to educate them into the practical knowledge of farming and to instill into them a feeling that farming WAS profess sion now, and not nlcnial liveli- hood.

REVISED POLICY FOR
 SOLDIERS DEPENDENTS

Washington, aJn. 18.-A more lib- eral policy in determining whether parents or others only partially de- pendent for support on soldiers, are entitled to government family allow ances to supplement the soldiers all- otment of pay has been adopted by the war risk insurance bureau under the supervision of. the new director, Col onel Henry D. Lindsley.
 Under the former management, the war risk bureau notified thousands of parents and other relatives of sold iers that after investigation it had been found that they were not de- pendent on the soldier, and that con- seqtently, the governments allow ance, as distinguished from the sold ier's pay allotment, would be cut off. In many cases, restitution of pay ments already made was asked. This policy is considered too drastic by Col. Lindsley, who indicated today that 1n- vestigations hereafter would be lim- ited mainly to actual fraud cases, and that if allowances had been wrongfully cut off, they would be restored and back payments probably made. This is not to be taken as a blanket policy covering all cases, how ever, as the decision in each case must depend on individual circumstances. Payments of life insurance to the beneficiaries of men who have been killed or died in the service, does not depend in any way on dependency it was explained.
 There is no law nor regulation to prevent a soldiers beneficiary receiv- ing both government compensation, given automatically for the death of a soldier, and also payments under the voluntary life insurance policies which most soldiers have taken out, it was stated.

Glasscock said in ferefence to Senator Archie Parr: "He was surrounded in his coun- ty by greasy Mexicans with long guns. Let us bring witnesses from down there before you. All we ask is that you take the cover off on the whole matter and 20 into the method of holding elections down 1p that country If this were a contest between Archie Parr and myself, it wouldn't be worth while; but it is mere than that. It concerns the very foundation of our government. It reaches the vital spot of our insti- tutions."
 Then Judge Glasscock declared that the judge of Hidalgo county who ordered Senator Paris name placed on the ballot had since been driven from his county "by his out ragged people,"
 At this juncture Senator Parr rose and started towards Judge Glass; cock "Sit down; yau can have your say when l am through" shouted Judge Glasscock.
 q don't want to speak to the committee; Pm after you now; you can't insult me-" replied Senator Parr continuing towards the speak CT.
 At this point, the Sergeant at Arms interfcrred; Senator Parr re- sumed his seat and Judge Glasscock apologized to the committee.
 Later in executive session, the committee decided over objection of Senator Parr, that it had a right to investigate all features of the con- test and that it was not bound to go into the primary election by the decision of the District Court. A member of the senate stated that q resolution asking that the senate sit as committee of the whole on the contest will be introduced Monday.

able to Meet Demand

before the board Of school commits
sioners at their regular meeting
Monday night and presented a pc
titon for a 10 per cent raise. While
the members of the board declared

the p women at the meeting, and
read a report comparing the wages
of school teachers with those Of

necessity Of increasing the prlnci
pals wages

Following the reading OF the
papers the members OF the DOdTu
discussed the questions brought out
in the papers and answered the OBJ
jections OF the teachers. Charles p.
DrummonG. president of the board,
acted as spokesman. He told the
teachers that stenographers, wom-
en- who must spend some time I'm

a salary of So per month. He also
called attention TO the fact that IN
many cases the board is granting

thorized by the state board or ac-

Some interesting statistics sub
mitted by the members of the
board Monday night IN regard to
local teachers follow: Two hundred
and sixty-nine teachers are receiv-
ing from $500 TO $1,129 per an
mum; II domestic science teachers
receive from $3.50 to $3.50 per
year; seven manual training teach
ers from $1.1OO to 1850 per year
There are approximately 362 teach
ers, principals supervisors, etc. IN
the local schools, with the salary of
the superintendent Of $4,000 per
year. Salaries of principals range
from s1,265 TO $685. per year. The
last named salary is for the high
school principal. The grade prin-
cipals receive a maximum of $2050
per year.
According TO reports submitted
by the board, the salaries paid in
South Bend compare favorably with
the salaries paid in other second
class cities of the state. Since, how
ever, the first and second class cities
in the state are considering the
same problem, the board decided to
take the matter under advisement.
An increased tax levy for May, 1926,
of % cents will enable the board to
grant an increase of salaries at that
time.
