WORRY OVER BUSINESS
ADVANCED AS CAUSE

Brooding over business Affairs which
had not been successful, so IL is
thought, Frederick Ditzel, 40 years,
old. committed suicide late Monday
afternoon by hanging himself in
barn on his farm in the Third district
Of Anne Arundel county No other
reason can be ascribed for the act,
either by Ditzels wife. or those who
knew him we'll
Dltzel had evidently made careful
plans for ending his life. Fastening
stout rope TO q large beam near the
roof of the barn he then secured
moose about his neck. and ii is sup
posed. jumped into space from bar
rel which was found nearby his dang
ling body
Discovery OF the body was made by
Mrs. Ditzel who. missing her husband
about the house. started an investiga
tion. Going 70 the barn. she was hor-
rilied at the sight Of the body swing
ing through the aperture leading TO
he loft Mrs Dit2els outcries alarm
I'd the neighbors. who went TO her as
,istance. and county authorities were
hen notified Police justice Robb
Combs, of Germantown, acting as coro-
aer, with Or. Joseph c. Joyce, hurried
o the scene. and after hearing the tes-
amony Of Mrs Dit2el. and several
)ther persons of the neighborhood. de
,idcd Ditzels death was unquestion-
ably suicide The body of Ditzel was

probably had ben hanging for an hour.
Death resulted from stangulation, it is
stated The body was afterwards cut

sides a wife, Ditzel is survived by two
children.
Ditzel was the owner OF a large
iarm near Arnold station. left TO. him
by his father. who died about four
years ago. The elder Ditzel was n
prosperous farmer for years, but the
son, IL is said. had not been success

AIMS AND OBJECTS
Of A. A. COUNTY
TEACHERS ASSO.
Four Points Declared BY Educa-
tors OF City And County For
Furthering The Welfare Of
Schools And General Condi-
tons
NOT TO RUN SCHOOLS
OR THE SCHOOL BOARD

Members of the Anne Arundel
County Teachers Association, who
are at this time especially interested
in the increase of salaries to enable
them to exc out a livable existence
have adopted for their rule and guild
ance four aims and objects" as foil
lows:
To further the welfare of the
schools, embracing the scholars
teachers and general school condi
tions
To be OF any help or assistance pos
sible to those in authority in matters
pertaining TO the schools.
Not to use the organization for the.
purpose of forcing point, no matter
in regard to what
Not to try to run the schools, the
board, or any OF the teachers.
Talking of schools and colleges, the
Delineator says:
"Haye there been enough teachers
in your own town during the pass
year? Are most of your teachers go
ing back next year? 1t is estimated
that in the country al large there have
been thirty-nine thousand vacancies
and sixty-fve thousand positions flied
by teachers below the standard re-
quirements Worse than that, the at
tendance at normal schools has fallen
off about twenty per cent.
why are teachers leaving the pro-
fession? Partly because salaries are
much too small No other class of
persons is paid so little in proportion
to the value OF the service rendered,
Many a professor envies the janitor
his living wage Many an eighth
grade boy can say truthfully to his
teacher, Pooh, why do l want an
education? l can make more money
after school hours than you make all
day.
This is a grave economic problem.
Since 1913, when teachers salaries
were low enough, the cost of living
has doubled How many teachers
have received a hundred per cent in
crease? If they would strike. we
would know more about their Difficult
ties, but they seldom do. They simply
resign and leave the children to be
taught by less competent persons who
can do nothing else
Current Events has the following
to say of the scarcity of teachers:
THE number of schools in the
United States closed for want Of
teacher is 1879. SO says the Hon.
Philander p. Claxton, U. S. Commits
sioner of Education In 41,900 other
cases the teachers are not properly
trained for the work, but have been
taken on because enough well trained
ones cannot be found
