THE EVENING MISSOURLAN
KEEPING UP THE BRAIN PLANT

What would you think of the man
ufacturer who allowed the physical
equipment of his plant to run down
and continued to expect the same re-
suits from his work? Yet Missouri
is allowing its brain plant to deterior-
ate, because the state has taken no
action to relieve the grave outlook of
the school-teacher problem. Some of
the cities have given the problem pub
licity, but as a state the question is
unsettled
The situation is one which asks
for immediate relief. The tremendous
advance in the cost of living is caus-
ing many of the best teachers to go
into other, professions or 60 to other
states in which higher salaries are
paid. In the last six years the cost
Of living increased 100 per cent, while,
since 1914, period of five years, the
average increase of salaries paid to
the teachers of Missouri was little
over 10 per cent.
Missouri is losing many of her best
teachers to other states. Kansas has
provided a so per cent increase in
taxation for school purposes. The
average salary paid teachers of all
grades in Missouri is only $533.59 a
year. Only three counties in Missouri
are paying their teachers living
wage. Yet the teacher is expected to
make his salary, paid for nine or sew
en- months of the year, cover his en-
tire expenses; and yet prepare him
self for the betterment of his pro-
fession.
The teaching profession is in dan
ger of decentralization unless the pub
lie acts quickly. The salaries of the
public instructors can be raised either
by constitutional amendment or by an
increase in the evaluation of the prop
erty OF Missouri by the State Board
of Equalization which meets next
month. Thus the tax returns will en-
able the school authorities to raise
the teachers pay. Every person who
believes that the standards of the
schools should be raised should sign
the petitions which will be circulated
throughout the state and placed be-
fore the hoard
Governor Smith of New York speaks
his opinion in this way: 1.-The eff
cheney of the school cannot raise
above the standard of qualifications
set for the teaching service. To bring
this about the teachers must be ade-
quately paid and fairly pensioned.
l strongly recommend that
whatever curtailment may be neces-
sary elsewhere, full and adequate pro-
vision be made for the education and
the training Of our children"
Missouri is expecting her teaching
force to give her citizens worthy of
the name. If she allows her brain
plant to run down, who else will take
up the task?

WORSE THAN FLU.
WhOoping Cough More Fatal in
Topeka This Year.
Fifteen Deaths From 53S Cases
Since January 1.

That whooping cough has been
more fatal than influenza in Topeka
this year was shown today by DIR.
Earle G. Brown. city health officer.
He compiled figures placing the death
rate from whooping cough at 2.79 per
cent, as against only 2.25 per cent in
the case of flu. The disease, which
most persons are inclined to give little
attention is thus shown TO be extreme
ly dangerous.
Fifteen Deaths Since January 1.
Since January 1 there have been
53S cases of whooping cough reported,
resulting in fifteen deaths. This
makes the death rate from this dis
ease 2.79. In the same period there
were 1900 cases. Of flu reported, re-
sulting in thirty-six deaths, or a death
rate of 2.25 per cent.
The deaths resulting from whooping
cough, Doctor Brown said, are brought
about by the disease developing into
other complications.
Topeka Death Rate 7.4S.
The death rate in Topeka during the
first half of this year averaged 7.4S
per one thousand population, accord
ing to Doctor Browns semi-annuaI re-
port made public today. The birth rate
thousand population. If the deaths of
fifty-seven non-residents during the
period are included, the death rate is
increased to S.5S.
Doctor Browns report shows that
3,212 cases of common communicable
diseases were reported to his office in
the first six months of the year. Of
these patients. sos were children under
school age. Influenza led in numbers
with 1900 cases; measles came sec
ond with 507 cases; whooping cough
third, with 451; chickenpox fourth,
with $50; pneumonia, SO; smallpox,
90; scarlet fever. 81; diphtheria, %;
typhoid, II, and mumps, 5.
OF the eleven cases of typhoid fe-
yer reported, two were definite out
of-town cases, one from Shawnee
county and one from Oklahoma. Of
the remaining nine patients, eight used
well water.
154 Cases Social Disease.
During the six months, 154 cases of
social diseases were reported to the
state board of health.
The number of tuberculosis cases
this year promises to be heavy, prob
ably due to the epidemics of influenza
and other diseases that weaken the
system. Fifty-four cases were report
ed during the six months. Following
is Topeka's tuberculosis record since

as units which would rebuild Russia's
industrial life, such as cleaning cities
and keeping up the railway right of
ways, where skilled labor had failed.
Basic Soviet Point Fails.
The output of the few facories which
are working is absorbed by the army,
leaving nothing, it is declared, to ex-
change with the agricultural popula-
ton for their products. The plan for
such an exchange, handled by the gov
eminent, is declared to have been a
basic point in the BOlshevil1 program.
Continued reQuisition of grain and
livestock in return for alleged worth
less paper money instead of supplies is
said to have made the agricultural
population the greatest potential
enemy of Bolshevism. Observers say
that if this condition is not remedted,
it promises to cause the ultimate
downfall of the regime, despite its mil
itaristic control. AS result of the
deluge of paper money thruout Russia
and Siberia, a system of barter which
is carried on Illegally is the only
means of exchange. Small quantities
of food supplies compensate for the
shortage in government rations and
the inequality in their distribution.
Successful With Railroads.
Greater success seems to have at
tended reorganization of the railroad
transportation system, especially in
passenger traffic than any Other
branch of the industrial life. From
Verkhnemm-Ud insk, the capital of
the Bolsheviki far eastern outer state,
a traveller can ride into Moscow or
Petrograd in ten days, travelling from
Omsk on Russian Pullmans if he is
on business or is especially priv
legged.
Fhe cost of the four thousand mile
trip across Russia is 1, 500 rubles. The
sum is less than one American dollar,
but also is less than the amount need
ed at scores on trans-Siberian stat
lions to buy a pound of meat or salt
from the peasants who sell food at the
railroad depots. The brightest spot in
the whole picture of Bolsheviki Rus
STA is represented in attempts every
where TO emphasize education. Eff
forts are being made to establish read
ing room and schools for both civil
ian and soldiers and to care for chill
dren during the food crisis.
Much of the instruction naturally
includes teaching of the doctrines of
communism thru dictatorship of the
proletariat, world revolution and class
var. Russian opponents to Bolshe-
Wiki, however, declare that in the
face of actualities, such instruction
serves only to convince the people
more thoroly of the impossibility of
realizing their needs thru methods
such as they are now undergoing I'M
der a dictatorship.

SHOWS LABOR COST INCREASE

Failure to cut their own weeds af-
ter notification by the city, cost prop
erty owners in Topeka $1,07S.S5 this
year, according to Robert McGiffert,
health commissioner. The cost per lot
ranged from sixteen cents to IS or an
average of $1.25. as against ninety
cents in 1919. Weed cutting by the
city is still in progress. Lots cut this
year number $50.
Last year the city cut 921 lots, at a
total cost of $83O.83. The great in
