QUOTE Ex-PRESIDENT TAFT
In Drive For Endowment Fund For
Bryn Mawr

Miss Janette Trowbridge Of East
ford and Miss Rosamond Danielson OF
Putnam Heights, who are interested in
the Byrn Mawr Endowment eompaig1l
for two million dollars, are quoting
EXPIRES. William Howard Taft in this
connection. To Mrs. Alfred b. Mac
Law. chairman of the drive in the New
York and Connecticut district, Mr..
Taft wrote in part as follows:
My dear Mrs. Maclay
regret that l cannot be with you
at the dinner to inaugurate the drive
for the S2,OO0,OO0 fund for Byrn
Mawr, to raise the salaries of the Pro-
fessors and instructors there. There
could be no higher cause than that.
The educational system of this coun-
try is threatened by the inadequaey
of compensation of those who are ear
rying it on.
In many cases, especially in bur
public school system, the low salaries
have affected the character OF the
teaching and made it much less thor
ough and satisfactory than it would
be if those who teach had the reward
offered to them of reasonable live
lihood. Such prospect would lead
them to more time and expense IN
proper preparation, and its absence
has injured the average fitness OF our
public school teachers for the work
they have to do.
In the case of Byrn Mawr, up to
this time the ability, thoroughness
and experience of the faculty and in
,t,uetors have not been affected in
the least by this woeful want OF ade.
ouate living wage. Bryn MaSsdv

TY COBB SIGNS
 AS MANAGES DETROIT TEAM

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (by Asso- ciated Press) .-Tyrus Raymond Cobb has signed a contract to manage the Detroit team of the American league next season.
 ''Ty" Cobb is one of the most fla nous players ever developed in the national. As a batter of tremendous power; spectacular outfielder and baserunner, he ranks as sensa- tional star who by the individuality of his play draws throngs of fans to the ball parks wherever he ap- pears.
 Cobb was born in Royston, Co.,, in 1886 and joined the ranks of profes- sional ball players in 1904. The fol lowing year the donned a Detroit uni form and continued to play with that club until the close of the 1918 penant season, when he enlisted in the chemical warfare service and was later promoted to the rank of cap- tain.
 Cobb has batted year in and year out well above .300 leading the American league for 10 years in sue cession. He also holds the league record for stolen bases with a total of 96 in one season.
 Fabulous sums have been offered by other clubs for his services dur ing his career with the Detroit team but the club has refused all such propositions.
 Following the war Cobb returned to the ball field as member of the Tigers, again playing a sensational game during the seasons of 1919 and 1920 He is one of the real idols of baseball and his selection as leader of the Tigers will undoubt- edly bring great prestige again to that club.
 Cobb is part owner of bank in Georgia.
