once.
"Such a policy and such q prospect
men and women of superior ability
and would hold them, working con-
tentedly and, therefore, lofitably,
for the children and the public well
fare. Such increase in salary should
carry with it an increase of not less
than 25 per cent. in the average len
9Th of the school term, which is now
less than $50 days.
ITO those who are not acquainted
with past conditions and who have
given the matter no intelligent thou
ght. the increase recommended may
seem large, but in fact it is not. 1t
would in most States mean range
of salaries from $1,000 to $4,000. NO
person who is fit to take the time
and money AMI opportunity of the
children of this great democratic he
public for the purpose of fitting them

virtuous citizenship, should be asked
to work for less than $1,000 a year

worthy of this minimum salary is
fitted to waste the time and money
of the children and to fritter away
their opportunity for education.
cit is not for the sake of the tea
cheers that this policy is advocated.
Schools are not maintained for the
benefit of the teachers. If men and
women of ability are not willing to
teach for the pay offered them they
can quit and do something else for
a living, as hundreds of thousands OF

Urges $500 Minimum
Average Salary for Teachers

Doubling the salaries of teachers
within the next five years, and then
adding SO per cent. before another
ten years have passed, so that the
minimum average salary FOR teach
ers will be $500; this is the pro-
gram urged by DR.. P. P. Claxton, u.
S. Commissioner of Education. DR..
Claxton says:
ct is only by very large increases
in pay of teachers that we may hope
to improve our schools appreciably
Small increases of 5, 10 or 20 per
cent. will not avail, for they will not
be sufficient to hold in the schools
men and women of superior ability.
Teachers are now paid less for
their work than any other class OF
workers and the increase in their
pay in the last few years has in
nowise been in keeping with the in
crease in pay of other workers., or
with the increase in the cost of liv-
ing. While the cost of living has in
creased approxira ately 80 per cent;
food, IS per cent; clothing, 1O6 per
cent: drugs, 1913 per cent; fuel,
So per cent; and house furnishing
goods, Is per cent, the salaries or
teachers have increased only about
IL per cent. The purchasing power
of the salary of the teacher in our
public schools is, therefore, only
about So per cent of what it was
four years ago.
MANY of the better teachers are
leaving the schools and their places
are taken by men and women of less
native ability, less education and
culture, and less training and ex-
perience. Many of the places are not
filed at all. AS an inevitable result
the character of the schools is being
lowered just at time when it ought
to be raised to a much higher stand
ard.
students now entering the nor
NAL schools to prepare for teaching
are not of as good quality as they
were formerly, which means that the
standards of the schools must con-
tinue to fall. In some normal schools
the enrolment is far less than in for
mer years.
1.-THE only remedy is larger pay for
teachers. If school boards, legisla-
tors, and county and city councils
would Immediately announce the
policy of doubling the average sal
airy of teachers within the next five
years and of adding not less than 5o
per cent. more within the ten years
following the expiration of this per-
iod, SO that at the end Of fifteen
years the average salary of public
school teachers would be not less

INTERFERENCE IS THE
GREATEST ASSET OF
BACKFIELD PLAYER
By WALTER CAMP
(Most Famous Football Coach.)

The greatest art and asset of back.
field men. as well as occasionally a
llneman. is interference.
Most Of the linemen's work is block
ing rather than interfering. But ends
tackles and guards on certain plays
have an opportunity to get into the in.
reference.
The keynote Of interference is not
necessarily to knock the opponent
down. but to prevent his getting the
runner with the ball. Nor is that the
only Interpretation. 1t Is sufficiently
easy for a man with his mind clear to
knock down a man whose mind Is oc-
cupied with following the motions OF
the man running with the ball. and
watching the interference Most men
forget this and II Is quite a prominent
fault Of many teams that their men
try too much to knock the opponent
down. consequently either only getting
one man or losing their balance and
opening up the very opportunity of the
tackler to get the runner.
The interferer should never leave his
feet as long as he can possibly keep
them and keep his men away. Only

then should he take his dive when, IL
he has the football instinct. he can
sense that knocking out Of one tackler
is going to pile up three or four others
at the same time and hinder the de-
fense long enough to let his man get
away.
Interference consists in learning how
to use the body and hips and shoulders.
and bearing in mind the rules that pre-
vent the use of hands or arms or trip
ping.
When taking a man out of play. the
only way to cut him down is to get
at his legs with the whole side OF your
body. II your feet are on the ground
as you hit him. you have an added
impetus as you throw yourself at him
Either in the Indian block, as il is
called. in which you get your man by
a Siding motion. or the direct dive to
cut him down. ii must be born i'm mind
that If the tackler Is fairly heavy. he
will be practically invulnerable to any
attack above the knee. If hit by a
hurtlng body below the knee or
around the ankles. he is bound to fail
unless he is unusually quick on his
feet.
The fact that you have successfully
taken man out OF play does not
mean that your usefulness ends right
there. See that he stays out. He may
get up and try again. II he does. fol-
low him and get him again. II he
doesn't. get up yourself and go after
another man, and keep going until the
play is complete. The more men out
of play. the better chance your run
ner has.
