The letter of State Commissioner Hill.

lshed in yesterdays Reformer empha.
sizes the seriousness Of conditions in
Vermont and undoubtedly will begin an
era of increased salaries for school teach
ers and instructors. Evidently the head
Of the educational department resorts TO
this method to insure a sufficient teach
ing force FOR the public schools OF the
state. He must also realize that such q
general and literal increase in cOmpcnsa-
ton win greatly increase the expenses of
schools, probably the largest expense of
any department OF the state government
School teaching has never commanded
large salaries, perhaps never will, but
there are some things to be considered
before increasing the expenses of this
department of government. 1t is true
that during the 'war better paying posi-
tions have been offered to school teach
ers of all classes. Some of the younger
men have been called to military serv-
ice and to fill positions created by war
work Women teachers have been much
in demand for office positions In Wash.
ington, positions created by the war and
open during the continuance of the war.
These conditions have created a serious
shortage in the teaching force, a short
age that probably is in its most acute
stage to-day.
The government no longer is calling
for young men to fight or for additional
women for Washington Offices 1t is rea-
sonable to expect that within the next
few months hundreds of thousands of
young men and women who have been
employed by the government will be dis
charged from such service. They must
turn to the occupation for which they
have been trained for future employ
ment because the employers of the coun-
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-03-18

try are no longer forced to employ I'M
trained and unfit. 1t might be wise for
school authorities to wait for this change
rather than swell the expense column
by paying wartime salaries. Industry
cannot continue war salaries or wages
and our educational authorities should
not assume them at this time.
Furthermore, good pay does not insure
good teachers. There was a time 30 and
40 years ago when all young girls were
ambitious to get a school to teach be-
cause they could earn more money teach
ing than in any other way and many IA
misfit got into the school room through
the pull" of friend. 1t is possible
that too liberal increase in salaries at
the time may revive the "misht' to a
greater extent than it will competent
instructors.
While the need of more salary for
teachers is recognized, we feel it is an
important time to grant increases. The
expenses of government are at the max
imum and taxes are increased each year
to meet them. Unusual expenses con-
nected with the war must be met now
and the teachers should wait until the
state and towns are a little better pre-
pared to take care of increased expenses
before demanding more pay. 1t will be
good business for the department of cd
ucation TO treat the demands Of teachers
as a business proposition and not try to
carry wartime compensation into the
peace period we are entering, BrattIe-

A state appropriation of 100000 from
Massachusetts would make fitting cele.
bration in honor of the return of the
Goth division to the United States; but
the wonder is that Massachusetts, does
not ask the other New England states
to contribute something toward the cost
OF the celebration, even though the main
events of the welcome are to be staged
in and around the State House in Boston.
That is not saying that the other New

MARINES AND THE U. S. ARMY.

From the standpoint of the Japanese
nation it will make no difference whether
it were u. s. marines or y. s. regulars
who were concerned in the trouble in
Tien Tsin, where the Americans are al
legged to have attacked all the japanese
they could get their hands on; but it is
to be noted that studied effort has
been made in the United States to diff,
ferentiate between the two units of
service representing the United States
government, the marines being very jeal-
GUS Of their reputation for close adhe-
renee to the international regulations as
well as for fighting qualities, We are
not prepared to assert that the marines
represent a higher type of soldier than
the regulars in the United States army
but we do know that they have been
placed in some very delicate, as well as
dangerous, situations and have acquitted
themselves with distinct credit to the
service; so there is perhaps some excuse
for efforts Of the officers in the marine
corps service who desire to have it
known that marines We're not concerned
in the Tien Tsin affair However, as we
have already stated, the other nations
do not recognize any difference in the
branches of the United States service
when they have a grievance, or alleged
grievance, to present to the United
States government; and there viii be no
little nieeties of distinction when the
Japanese government comes to take up

the United States to-day At the
beginning of this year, according to
the American Meat Packers Asso-
citation, there were over 100000
more cattle, over 100000 more
hogs and almost 100000 more
heep than at the beginning of 1918.
The middle American is probably
wondering what has hit the good old
law of supply and demand He has
always been told that big supply
meant drop in prices.
1t is still fresh in the public mind
how, in response to popular demand,
the War Department sold at cost
prices its surplus stores of food
stuffs, which were no longer needle j
for the armies fighting in Europe.
These foods were quickly and glad
ly taken by the public, but their
sale had no more than momentarv
effect on current market prices.
