NORTHERN LIGHTS
INTERPRETED WITH
TELEGRAPH SERVICE

Breaking down of last nights tele-
graph service between Grand Forks
and Minneapolis was explained as a
natural field of high voltage by tele-
graph officials this morning. Scien-'
lists are united in believing that this
excessive charge is a result of the
Aurora Borealis. These excessive
charges recur about once a year and
usually last not more than a day.
They have been known to have as
high a potential as 800 volts. Such a
voltage is more than the protectors
against excessive charges in some
plants will stand and results in a
temporary curtailment of operation.
The field seemed last night to have the
greatest efect in the Red River valley
and in western Minnesota though it
did not affect service around Grand
Forks.
1t interfered with telegraph service
to The Herald asst night by affecting
operations Of the wires near Fargo.
Itsis expected that all lines will be
working satisfactorily again tonight.

FOR COMPETENT TEACHERS.

School teachers must be provided with higher
salaries or the schools will be deprived of compe
tent teachers. only the self-sacrificing mer
and going give their lives in exchange
for salaries that provide them with the com
forts of life and make old age safe from poverty.
The Miami Metropolis says:
THE fact is now recognized by thinking peo-
pie everywhere. School teaching is to become a
paying profession even though it has been
long time arriving. Within the century, even,
person might refuse to be taxed for the sup
port of the public schools. Such person, how
ever. could not send pupil to school without
paying tuition if he refused to be taxed He
could also agree to pay his school tax in mer-
charitable produce. An Illinois law of 1926, for
instance, provided for such pay as follows:
BE it further enacted, that whenever the
tax is levied. according to the twelfth section
of this act in good merchantabIe produce it
shall be lawful for the trustees to make out
list, with a warrant, stating to be collected in
produce; and they shall have power to transfer
the list and warrant to any teacher or teachers
that they may have employed, who shall have
full power to collect the same; and IL any per-
shall refuse or neglect to pay their respective
amounts in produce, for two weeks after de-
manded, it shall be lawful to collect the same
in cash; provided, that whenever there is any
disagreement about the price Of any produce
offered in payment it shall be the duty of each
to select any disinterested housekeeper to value
the same, and if they cannot agree it shall be
their duty TO choose a third and all valuation
shall be binding
1.-THE attitude of people toward educational
needs is peculiar, and has been peculiar from
the beginning of history Of education A
munfty will make lavish appropriations for
courts and jails and bridges and roads, will pay
missions, but it will dicker for the services of
a school teacher at the lowest possible wages.
A will spend sixty dollars a month for the
upkeep Of his automobile and complain if he has
to pay thirty dollars year for the upkeep of the
school his children attend.
Undoubtedly it has been the school teachers
fault. For years she has played the charity
role acting the part of servant of the people,"
with devotion to her profession and love for the
boys and girls taking the place of money for
rainy day. There are number of fine teachers
doing that today but there are so many more

"And yet the boys and girls should have the
best training that money buy There should
be more money spent for educational work in
the United States than for all the other branches
of government combined"

BUT NOT FOR MERCHANT YES
SELLS.

In connection with a story of Amer
lean Library association activities ap-
pearing in the Journal a few days ago,
in which It was said the library at the
naval air station had been taken over
by the navy, MIR. Fontaine writes the
following letter to the Journal:
The Editor,
i Pensa cola Journal,
Pensacola, Florida.
Dear Sir:-I believe it will be neces-
sary to correct a statement appearing
in this mornings issue of the Jour-
nal relative to the library at the naval
air station. The situation is as fol-
lows:
When the A. L. A. stiTl maintained
library service at the naval air station
one of the avenues of service was to
the merchant vessels of the u. S
shipping board, and this service was
conducted through the librarian at the
naval station. Since November L.
1919, the A. L. A. turned over to the
war and navy departments its librar
les and equipment for the use of the
army and navy, and the librarian at
this station has been retained by the
navy department. Up TO the present
time, the shipping board work has
been under his charge STILL but, owing
to the greatly enlarged activities Of
the A L. A. which involves the sup
plying of books and magazines to all
u. S. merchant vessels (no longer con-
fined TO shipping board vessels alone)
the volume of work win increase to
such proportions that it will be more
than the librarian can handle in adj
dition to his regular duties at the
Naval Air Station library. Therefore
it is this work in connection with the
merchant marine that Community
Service, under Mr.. Abernathy's sup
ervision, viii continue for the A. A A
Mr.. Alternately should be commend
ed for the eagerness with which he
accepted the work, for it viii mean a
great deal to Pensacola that all Y. $.
merchant vessels coming TO this port
will be supplied with reading matter
for the crews. and that the men
aboard the boats will be made to feel
that Pensacola has a welcome for
them. Mr. Alternately was glad of the
opportunity TO perform this service
and L am sure that the American Ii
brary association will be glad 10 learn
that we We're able to make such splen-
did arrangements for the continuance
of their work at this port.
