K.H.S. COMMENCEMENT
Court House Filled Comfortably
Exercises Short But Good
Is Graduates

at the circuit court room We'd
nesday evening to witness the
graduating exercises of X, H. S.
despite the fact chat the roads
and weather were unfavorable.
The court room had been nicely
decorated by the pupils Of the
school and tho the program was
short as to numbers, the time
consumed was about the usual.
The program opened with a piano
selection by Miss Grace Edwards,
a march to which the gradual
ing class entered the room and
took their places in the bar in a
graceful semi-circle. An invo-
cation was offered by Rev. W.
H. Ezell, a violin number by Miss
Hulda Taylor which was well
played and pleased the audience,
then the introduction of the ora
tor of the day by Supt. White.
Prof. Zeigler had been selected
by the superintendent to deliver
the address and the distinguish
ed educator from northeast Mis-.
souri, was on hand and for quite
a time discoursed on public
school system. Many of the tax
payers present were apparently
interested in the topic and a few
of the embryo teachers. Miss
Ida Lou Richardson played a Sc
lection on the piano and aroused
the audience for the presenta-
ton of the diplomas by the presi-
dent of the school board. 1t was
understood that four or five of
the class contemplated accepting
school work as their avocation
for a time but we failed to get
statements from the majority az
to their Intentions for the future.
Some time age the school board
eliminated salutatory and vale
dictory features from commence.
ment programs, but upon the
presentation of diplomas the
president of the board gracious
ly mentioned those of the big
graduating class who had, by
their records, stood first, These
were, in the order of their stand
ing, Misses Frances Worsham,
Anna Ruth Burns. Ethlyn Fidler
and Wilma Bennett and it was
said that each of these was so
close to any other that the dis
tinction was hard to make.
1t again appears that the boys
are in measly minority in our
school. There is an explanation
of this and when explained a
remedy should surely be sought.
The graduation class was:
May Adams

Will Bayne
Wilma Bennett
Anna Ruth Burns

FACULTY COMMITTEE
ISSUES SOCIAL RULES
Laws Laid Down on Subject of
ChaperOnage and Closing
Hours

The faculty social committee has
issued a set of rules to the different
organizations on the campus con-
corning the closing hour and the
chaperonage Of social functions. The
member and duties of chaperons are
outlined as follows:
1.-THE faculty committee has found
that for an event scheduled for the
armory, not fewer than three ma
irons and their husbands are desir-
able, for parties in downtown halls
and the womens gymnasium two
couples, for parties at group houses,
one matron and her husband in addi
ton to the house mother. For out
of-town affairs, one matron and her
husband for large conveyances, and
an additional couple for the other
conveyances necessary to accommo-
date the party has been requested.
That is, at least two couples for
party of several vehicles.
The proprieties of time and con-
duct rest with the manager of the
event; chaperons are responsible,
however, for such parties as they
consent to undertake chaperonage
for, and are in an official relation to
functions. as we'll as social one. At
least one matron and her husband
must remain at the party until all
other guests have withdrawn"
Little room is left for doubt in the
matter of when chaperons must be
provided, for "chaperons are neces-
sary whenever young men and
women are entertained together,
whether the company be large or
small, formal or informal"

ing features of the entire situation
] is the scanty enrolment of students

This, indeed is only what we
should expect. Unless driven by a
desire to teach so strong as to over
ride all considerations of prudence
why should any young man or
woman of parts take seriously to
teaching in the present condition OF
the profession
Attention was called to the action
taken by leading institutions. Har-
ward, Princeton, Yale, Columbia,
Pennsylvania. Cornell, Oberlin, Mich
igan and others in greatly increasing
salaries OF their teaching staffs.
The committee recognized the
practical difficulties in the way of q
solution of the problem and urged
that the issue be met squarely and
measured in terms of today rather
than of yesterday.
In support of its contentious the
con mittee submitted for the consid-
GRAFTON of the regents detailed bud
gets of faculty families and many
tables and charts giving statistical
evidence.
1t was shown that in six years the
cost of food in Pullman has adj
vanced 95 per cent, clothing 1870 per
cent, rent 80 per cent; the weighted
average advance on all items of the
budget being Sc per cent.
During this period the advance in
faculty salaries has been 34S per
cent. The report draws attention to
the fact that if seniority increases
had been given corresponding to the
average of 100 colleges and uni
yersities given in the Carnegie
Foundation Report MAY. 1909 the
increase to the local faculty would
have been 50 per cent 1t was
further shown that in 1928 State
College salaries would have required
an increase of as per cent to bring
them up to the average paid by 81
institutions, large and small, under
the Carnagie Foundation.
Recently employed members of
the faculty have come in at con-
siderable advance over the salaries
received by those who have been in
service a number of years. In 1914
"old" professors received $3.50 per
year more than the new" pro-
fessors, whereas at the present time
the newcomer is paid $3.50 more
than the one who has been con the

In the discussion of the report it
was recognized that President Hol-
land and the regents during the past
four years had made a fair start on
a program of liberal salary adj
yances. 1t was regretted by all that
their efforts had been more than
cancelled by the sharp decline in the
value of the dollar.
