age increase the country over since 1913- 14 has been 60 per cent. The increase in the cost of living meanwhile, it is shown, has been more than 100 per cent. In view of the decreased purchasing power of the dollar the average school teacher in the United States is, therefore. worse off than she was before the war;" the report states.
 The method of calculation used in the report is based on a median, or mid- point, in the scale of salaries, which di- vides it exactly in half. one-half the cases falling below the median and the other half above it
 The following cities, respectively, paid the highest and lowest median salaries during the school year 19l9-1ss accord ing to survey charts:

 Dr. GeCrge D. Strayer. chairman of the national committee, in speaking of
 the situation said What we need throughout the nation Is a better under standing of the school situation based upon careful assembling of the facts.
 These inquiries are intended to serve just this purpose The American people believe in the public school system. That they have not always supported it as
 generously they should is not due to any lack of faith, but rather because of ! lack of information. If superintendents of schools make available the facts with | regard to the present situation, and il chambers of commerce undertake the obligation to carry these facts to the ] public, we shall have an informed pub 1 lie The American people, when they come to a full realization of the present | emergency, can certainly be counted upon to provide the support necessary for the maintenance and development of our public school system

SURVEY IS MADE OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
 IN 359 CITIES

By Associated Press

New York october 22.--Chambers of lcommerce in 359 cities of the United States with a population of 5000 or more will receive today from their national
 committee for cooperation with the pub lie schools the results of nationwide
 survey relating to salaries, training ana
 experience of teachers in which it is de-
 clared that in point of salary the aver
 age school teacher in worse off than be-
 fore the var The report, the first of
 -four interpretive inquiries will en-
 able these cities, it is said, to learn for
 lthe first time the truth about their own
 schools and to compare them with the
 schools of other cities throughout the
 country.
 This survey, which was undertaken by
 the American City Bureau after a con-
 ference of superntendents of schools
 with chamber of commerce secretaries
 at Cleveland, Ohio. last February 24, has been in progress more than six months. The questions to which answers were
 sought and obtained in the 359 cities fwere: 'I1ow much training do your (lteacherA have?9 and How we'll do you pay your school employes%
 One-half of the men elementary teach ers in all cities reporting, it was shown, have had less than the median of S.W years of experience. One-fourth nave had less than S.1 years experience. ol i6s 291 teachers, 3493 have had only one years experience and of this number 75s are men and women high school teachers and 2,735 are men and women elementary grade teachers. More tnan ,10,0O0 wornenS and 300 men in the cities surveyed, However, have been teacnihs twenty years and over.
 Emeruency teachers lacking proper training for their work are said to com bose "an alarmingly large proportion oi those now in the classrooms. It IS com / imonly accepted standard among city boards of education, the report points out that the teachers in the eiemen- ltary schools should be at least grad Euates of standard normal schools, whie' 1 means two-year professional coul se | above graduation from four-year hisn Ischool. Ut is very significant to no.e lin this connection" the report says I.tbat more than one-third of the teach lers of American cities have less tram. inc, than this low standard and tha' there are thousands of teachers Tn tns elementary schools of our American kcities who have even less preparatloy than rrad,lation from four-year hisl Iochool course. se

there is always a lot of good natured
bantering between the two teams
This is due to the fact that half
dozen former Boston players are on
the Cleveland club. On the Boston
club is Sam Jones. a former Cleve-
land player. and when Sam is right he
is worth about a half dozen at the
joshine game.
With so brilliant a catcher as Steve
O'Neil on a ball club, there is little
chance for any extra catcher to break
in to any great extent. O'Neil is d
glutton for work, seems to thrive on
it, and as his presence is of untold
value to his club. Steve gets plenty
of work. Thomas is one of those am

Thomas was always a favorite as a

opening inning until the close Of the

YANKEES WILL RECEIVE
MORE THAN $500 EACH

NEW YORK. February 17-Presi-
dent Jacob Rupert of the Yankees
will receive today from the national
commission a check for $13.277.S2.
which will be distributed. among the
New York players as their share of
the world series spoils for finishing
in third place. The amount is $13,-
! 017.4S plus interest for four months
at per cent.
1t is expected that twenty five play
ers. including the coaches and trainer
will share in the split-up. On the
| basis of twenty-five players each will
| receive $531.10. The money has been
held up by the commission for four
| months because of the wrangle in the
American League. Detroit protested
the Yankees claim to third place and
was sustained by President Johnson.
This furnished one of the many sub
jects for legal action in the Yankees

Prior to the start of one OF the
games between the two clubs last
year Thomas donned mask and pro-

about the time the announcer came
through with the batteries for the
