 Little Rock, April 5.-The cam paign for increased pay for teach CTS is meeting with splendid results. Apparently the sense of justice of the people has been finally aroused to the injustice that has been done the teachers of the state. It was forced upon them by the fact that the ranks of the teachers are being thinned out rapidly by the retire ment of great number of teachers to seek more remuneratiye occupa- tions. An actual teacher shortage was staring the people in the face, and something had to be done or the schools would suffer an irremedial loss.
 So the boards began raising sal aries. It was not confined to Ar kansas but it has been a nationwide movement. In Chicago a flat raise of S400 was granted all teachers, and other cities are doing as well or better.
 Little Rock is one of the cities that have done better, the Board having granted an increase of 50 per cent to all teachers, both white and colored. The University of Ar kansas and the State School Boards have granted an increase of from 25 to 30 per cent. The Boards of Hot Springs and Fort Smith are among the larger cities working on pro posed increases, while many of the smaller places have already advanced the salaries. Unless this is done, if will be impossible for teachers to continue in their profession at the starvation wages which have been paid.

The courier-index., 1920-04-09

The metropolitan proportions of Little Rock are well established by the fact that there are more than 300 teachers in it's public schools, which does not take into considera- tion the many private and parochial institutions. The fact that the sala- ries of the public school teachers. is being increased fifty per cent over what they have been receiving should bring their into ranks the best edu- cators of the country The bonded indebtedness of the district is about $500, 0,000, but this must be increas- ed to provide greater school facili- ties. The people are now paying their first 2 mill tax, and they are paying it gladly. No tax is paid with greater pleasure than the school tax. It is being recognized as the greatest asset for the state that it's educational facilities are of the best.
 Although the war is over, despite the refusal of the United States Sen ate to ratify the peace treaty, Ar kansas continues to demonstrate it's patriotism by providing the funds with which to pay the cost of the recent unpleasantness. The figures have not been announced, but it is understood that the people of Arkan- sas have paid about fifteen million

brought UP the question of the admis-
sion OF Germany Oh the floor OF the
Assembly. When Motta spoke of the
absence OF America, Germany and
Russia, Niviani sprang to his feet de-
manGing TO be allowed to speak. Presi-
dent Hymans significd that Viviani
would be allowed to speak Immediately
after Motta.
1t is said that never in the course Of
his public career has Viviani spoken as
he did to-day. The entire Assembly
was swept off its feet and at its con-
foot of the tribune to greet him and
congratulate him.
Cecil Supports Frenchman's Views
Lord Robert Cecil, representing
South Africa, followed Viviani, assert.
ing that he and the entire Assembly
shared Viviani's sentiments.
Motta in his address said:
"Now l shall touch on burning
question. I do not propose to show 6
lack of courage or charity on our part
and we would be against the spirit Of
the league if we did not at this mo-
ment acknowledge there are great holes
in the league, caused by the absence
of America, Germany and Russia" II
was here that Vivani interrupted with
his demand to speak.
