What goal are you pursuing"

And tenderly I utter

The refund salary law now in
force, Professor Zimmerman con-
demns as unfair and unjust.
Teachers in first class city schools
will be little affected by the new
rule, Professor Zimmerman believes.
He says: CAS- our first class cities
conduct their own normal schools
which are not classed as State Nor
NAL schools, the minimum salary
schedule as now arranged would
probably not affect them. In order
to remedy the condition in these
cities or even smaller cities, we have
inserted paragraph three in the draft
providing a percentage scale of in
crease for all teachers, principals and
supervisors receiving 500 per
month and upwards"

MURDER CHARGE
Commission Has Evidence 10
Convict Them Before the
Allied Tribunal

London. Feb. 22.-Reuters Linn
lted says it learns that the commits
sion which is inquiring into German
submarine excesses has now suffi-
cient evidence to convict some twen-
ty German submarine commanders.
nearly all of who at present are in
Germany, of murder.
Seven commanders in particular
have bad records against them, ac-
cording to Reuters advices. and the
opinion is expressed that surrender
and trial, possibly by an Allied
naval tribunal. should form a
clause in the armistice terms.
Herbert Gibbs, well-knowu
banker in an address here. declared
that. having made a SPECIAL study
of the subject. he was able to say
that the savings of Germany were
very great. Germany could easily
pay 600.000,000 pounds yearly, the
burden of which. he asserted. would
fall not on the wage-earners of Ger-
manN, but on the people who had
| made the war.

things to the school system. Higher
standards of efficiency must be adopt
ed in order to produce better citi-
zens for tho country, Professor Zim-
norman says, for the state is un-
der moral oblization to consider the
children who will be it's future citi-
Zens."
"The low salaries paid in this
state are directly responsible for the
high per cent of inferior talent"
Professor Zimmerman explains.
The primary need of education"
he continues, lis to Danish ignor-
ance from the earth and l have al
ways doubted whether this could
be accomplished by paying our
teachers $45 or sos per month for
seven months in the year"
In view of the heavy drains on the
state by reason of two billions of
dollars in government revenue, mil
lions for public improvements, Pro-
fessor Zimmerman is doubtful
whether the $50, 100000 school ap-
preparation bill will ever be reported
from the committee. since some
lawmakers inform us that it will
be impossible to find the revenue
for so large an appropriation"
And even if this does pass, con-
ditions in the rural districts will be
little bettered he says. The salar-
les for teachers with provisional
certificates, professional certificates
and normal school diplomas will
approximate $56.25, $6S.75 and SIS,
whereas teachers in the city will be
receiving 500 to S125 monthly.
Greater opportunity for recreation
and amusement together with the
larger salaries will continue to drain
the schools, he believes.
The tentative draft of the bill
which will likely be presented to
the Legislature next week is as fol-
lows:
THAT the minimum salary of
each public school teacher in the
holding a provisional
certificate shall be $50 per month;
that the minimum salary of each
teacher holding a professional ceru-
ficate or State Normal school certi-
ficate shall be SIS per month; that
the minimum salary of each teacher
holding one of the following certi-
ficates State Normal school diploma,
county permanent certificate, state
permanent certificate or college pro-
visional certificate snail be $50 per
month, provided further, that the
state pay SIS additional per month
to each teacher of q rural school
holding a certificate higher than a
provisional certificate that the state
pay 40 per cent. of the salary of all
teachers, principals and supervisors
up to but not including 500 per
month, provided that the $15 addi-
tional per month which is to be paid
by the state to each teacher of a
rural school shall not be included
within the 40 per cent. herein pro-
vided.
THAT Section 1910 providing a
minimum salary. etc, and Section
1918, providing for the payment of
the increase of salaries, etc. shall be
repealed.
"That all teachers, principals and
supervisors in the public schools OF
the Commonwealth receiving from
800 to $3.50 per month inclusive,
shall receive an increase of 20 per
cent; that all teachers, principals

terday afternoon, met with wide
spread approval. Mr.. Reilly has
taken an active part in big move
ments in Harrisburg and for years
has been identified with public inn
provement work.
He is now member of the City
Planning Commission, member of
the Harrisburg Rotary Club, presi-
dent of the Harrisburg Trust Com
pany and vice-president of the Har-
risburg National Bank, two of the
older banking institutions of the
city. Mr.. Reilly also co-operated in
the big Y. M. c. A. campaigns for
the city unit and was connected with
Liberty Loan campaigns.
Residents of the city in discussing
| his selection declared that in nam
ing him as a board member the
directors added another efficient and
capable businessman to the body
such as should represent the public
in SO important place as the board
of education.
Upon resolution of Director John
f. Dapp, President Robert A. End
ers was authorized to appoint a COM
mittee to investigate the construc-
| ton of the Camp Curtin school
building. Mr.. Dapp stated at the
meeting yesterday that he has made
frequent inspections at the school
and found it was not fireproof.
Action on the sale of the Eager
school building to be used as head

was deferred. The committee ap-
pointed to report on the advisability
of the sale of the school and other
property owners by the district. sug-
gested using the Eager building as
a continuation school but withdrew
that part of the report after short
discussion. At the next meeting they
will submit another report on the
possible uses of the Eager building by
the district.
A committee with Mrs. Lyman d.
Gilbert as chairman. spoke to the
board members and explained the
purpose of the Red Cross in seek
ing a permanent location such as
would be afforded if the Eager build
ing were purchased. 1t was said
that a move would then be made to
consolidate all the city charitable
organizations at one place.
The special board committee rec
commended advertising for sale the
Springdale building and the site at
Fifteenth and Vernon streets, which
the directors approved.
When the report of the treasurer
was received Director Dapp asked
whether some of the school funds
could not be invested at three in
stead of two per cent. on short term
certificates if necessary. q"
