United by the president OF the board
Hardv1g- Peres, at the January meet
ing, Mr.. Peres speaks Of the two things
which make for "A deterioration Of the
schOOls-low salaries and politics.
Mr.. Peres sets forth that what the
Memphis public schools need,An COM
mon with those of hundreds of other
cities, is more money. Steps have been
taken by the city administration to
provide additional funds from this
years budget for increasing the teach
ers' salaries. But Mr.. Peres points out
that within five years, many, new
buildings must be erected, and that
a big bond issue should be discussed
now, in planning fof the coming four

phis Tenn:
THE teachers of the Memphis city
schools in 1918 went on strike for
higher wages. The demand of no in
crease. no teaching met with much
success.
Municipal officials controlling the
purse strings promptly did what was
presently possible and the public sud
denly awoke to the necessity of de-
veloping q sentiment In favor OF gem
erous taxation for school purposes and
a sustained determination that the
schools should be properly and fully
supported. A board OF education ought
not to be worried about money. 1t
should have ample leisure to turn its
attention to raising the educational
value of the system.
However, 1t Is doubtful If the edu-
catlonal value of any system can be
strengthened II the position on the
board Is a political job and the board
by concerted interference or partisan
cabal interrupts the free action OF a
superintendent in an effort to select

best methods for the children.
"A board, for instance, should dis
approve the selection OF a teacher by
a superintendent only for cause. A step
in this direction would be the appoint
ment of b board without salary.
1.-THE committee on education of the
next legislature with the advice of ex-
perts in school administration could
work out a plan for such appointive
board.
More Buildings Needed.
TT Is recommended that the first bond
issue of $3.50, 900 be used for repairs
and additions to present buildings and

Q sigh Of relief that the president Of
the board has not taken occasion to
make his report a paraphrased repe-
tition of the welter of writing and
speaking about the effect of the war
on education, the high cost of living,

the necessity of plenty of money for
perintendents and that these and only
these things will lead us out of the
