ture unhampered, but, on the
contrary, fully equipped by a
a sound education to meet the
responsibilities Of life. These
facts being only too true, let's
hope that the present admins
tration will bend every effort to
place our public schools upon as
high a basis and plane as posi-
bic. This means that we must
have well qualified and practical
teachers, whose purpose and
aim is not to draw a salary for
sitting in a school room, but to
accomplish results in his or her
work. Such teachers can only
be had by the payment of a fair
and adequate salary Competent
teachers, particularly at the
present time, when there is so
much demand for c mpetency in
every position of life, and the
cost of living SO high, are hard
to get.
Give US good roads and good
schools and the rest will take
care Of itself.
We extend our congratulations
to the new Governor and wish
him a successful tenure in office.

, FINANCIAL l WALL, STREET STOCK
 EXCHANGE REPORTS

Wall, Street, 10:30 A. M-The stock market presented few features of interest at the dull and irregular opening of today's session. Aside from. Gen erale Motors, which forfeited a small part of yesterdays I3-point advance, and Crucible Steel, which gained l and 1 F points, price varia- tions among important issues were limited to fractions, In the less prominent stocks a 5-point rise in Virginia Iron and 1 point for railway steel were the only noteworthy feat ures. Early quotations indicated further disturbances in foreign eN- change.
 Wall Street Noon.-Prices steadied when the automobile group rallied, General Motors and Chandler attain- ing new high levels for the present movement Independent steels made further upward progress >and equip ments and shippings moved irregular ly forward with utilities. Foremost among the latter were American Tel ephone and Consolidated Gas. Oils and tobaccos were inactive. but rails, as represented by Southern Pacific and Reading, threw off some of their apathy at moderate advances. Partial forfeiture of these gains followed the posting of a 12 per cent. money rate and fresh depression in foreign eX- change.
 Investment rails and high class industrials strengthened their posi- tions on very light dealings at mid day with equipments and motor spe- cialties. Some of these gains were largely dissipated later. however. when an urgent demand for scan money over the weekend forced loans to Is per cent.
 Wall Street close.-t+al1 money rose to 20 per cent, the high record of the month in the final hour but steels, equipments and shippings made fur ther advances. The close was firm. Sales approNimated 550,000 shares.

EUROPE MUST RELY
 ON OWN RESOURCES
So States Secretary Glass to
 National (. Of C.

Washin gton, Jan. 30.-Europe ill so far as. the United States government is concerned must rely upon her own resources in retrieving financial equilibrium. This was the interpreta- ton here of the letter Secretary of the Treasury Glass has sent to Q commit tee of the chamber of commerce of the United States which sought g. government expression on the pro- posed international conference of financiers and commercial leaders to discuss reconstruction problems
 In g, blunt statement of the facts as he sees them Ar. Glass declared the American government has done all that it believes advisable and prat cti- cable to aid Europe" The conference, he added, would serve ''to cause con- fusion and revive hopes doomed to disappointment, of further govern ment Ioars.''
 No Objection From Treasury.
 The treasury departm ent does not offer objection, MT. Glass said, if the chamber of commerce of the United States which has charge of &he de- tails Of the conference wishes to name delegates to an informal confer ence "provided the scope and charac- ter and limitations of such a confer ence. as well as the impossi1ility of United States government action are clearly understood"
 If the people and governments of Europe." Mr. Glass declared, Tive within their incomes, increase their production as much as possible and limit their imports to actual necessi- ties, foreign credits to cover adverse balances would most probably-be SUD- piled by private investors and the de- mand to. resort to such impracticable methods as government loans and bank credits would cease.
 should Not Finance Europe.
 ''The American people should not. in my opinion, he called upon to finance. and would not. in my opinion, respond to a demand that they finance as they result from the failure to take necessary steps for the rehabilita- tion of credit.
 ''There is no more logical or prac- tical step toward solving, their own reconstruction problems than for the Allies to give value to their indemnity claims against Germany by reducing these claims to a determinate amount which, Germany may aSonably be eN- peCted to pay. The maintenance Of claims which cannot be paid causes apprehension and serves useful purpoSe.'
