STREET CAR SERVICE
SEVERELY CRITICISED
Park View Citizens to Ask Of
ficiaIs of Lines and Utilities
Commission to Meeting.

Caustic expressions in arraigning
the street railway companies were
used last evening by several citizens
at a meeting of the Park View Citi-
zens' Association in the Park View
School. Approximately 900 attended.
Terence V. Powderly, known as an
authority on public utilities. declared
that the result of the recent order of
the utilities commission, though bene-
filing many, gives less service to citi-
zens using the Georgia avenue cars to
get to the Labor. Department building,
as it is now necessary to pay two
fares, where before one fare and a
two-cent transfer were sufficient.
Will Consider Problems.
The association resolved that it hold
a meeting some time in the near flu
ture. at which will be invited repre-
sentatives of the street railway COM
panies, Public Utilities Commission
and of the citizens of Park View. At
this time the problems could be dis
cussed and it is likely some agree
ment could be reached
That conductors in some instances
do not ring up fares was stated by
several citizens. Mr.. McGrath, COM
munity secretary, declared that he
was riding in crowded car where
not even standing room was available,
and fares were ''rung up for those
who occupied seats only.
Resolutions were adopted favoring
bill introduced by Representative
Kelley of Pennsylvania, by which the
War Department will turn over it's
vacated buildings to the District or
community organizations for the dis
tribution and storage of farm prod
ucts on the farm to -the-consumer"
plan. At Park View the community
store is thriving. One day more than
$500 worth of business was transact
ed. A great amount of chickens,
hams, sausages and oysters have been
sold.

Salaries Not Adequate.

Vow. gentlemen of Congress. the
present salaries are not adequate.
They are not more than half ade-
quate. Mr.. Lane, the Secretary of the
Interior, in a report published in the
Outlook on December IS. 1918, put the
case very succinctly when he asked
the following question: What should
be said of a democracy which expends
in a year twice as much for chew
ing gum as for school books. more
for automobiles than for all primary
and secondary education, and in which
the average teachers salary is less
than that of the average day laborer -
The present salaries, because they
are Inadequate, will not hold the
present teaching force; standards of
requirements will be lowered-as has
been done during the war in order to
keep schools open; the situation will
become graver and the present crisis
become increasingly acute. No plan
Of reconstruction will or can succeed
that is not based upon the firm foun-
dation of an efficient and al1-American
public school"

Normal Schools Suffer.

In the letter Mrs. Inkster said:
There is crisis in our whole ma :
tionaI school system. 1t is being
manifested here in Washington.
Teachers have left and are still Ieay-
ing; young people are not entering
the Normal School. one of the best
plants of its kind in the country
1.-TWO years ago there was an entrance
class of ninety; this years registra-
ton was nine), young men and wom-
en- coming out of college are not en-
tering the profession of teaching be-
cause the remuneration is SO much
more attractive in other lines of
work. Yet the schools have been the
bulwark of our country and they
must be made stronger and stronger
bulwark.
The schools have been the only
melting pot in the nation. They
must become a greater melting pot
than ever SO that it can never again
be said that tens of thousands of ma
tive-born children are taught the
history of America in d foreign
tongue.

Trained Experts Needed.

"At all times the safety of re-
public depends upon an educated and
trained people. But at no time is it
as important as it is in these days
after a great war, when the very
foundations of normal living have
been dislodged. We need now, more
than ever before, the most highly
trained experts, men and women with
broad and constructive vision and
building power. And yet to such ex-
perts, to such men and women of
power and vision, the government
now pays less in a majority of cases
than for the routine clerical work
done by boys and girls who have less
than a high school educa ton.
Moreover. the clerk becomes more
skilIful, more an efficient machine
as he continues at work: on the con-
trary, the teacher is more and more
depleted by the act of teaching, of
giving out information and inspira-
tion, and must needs have a period
each year. first, of complete mental
rest. when the mind can lie fallow
for a while. and. second. a new period
of taking in, of new learning and
inspiration for the next years teach
ing. And all this requires an ade-
quate salary.

Reports To State headquarters showed
that progress was being made in every

was any noticeable apathy, the fact
that some counties had been SLOW in
completing their organization and
launching their drive was believed 10
