The roaring Of the airplane that she

the roof.
Andrea came fully to her senses and
called in Il clear, high voice "I'm here,
White Man; I'm here, White Man."
She repeated the cry steadily at short
Intervals until he shouted an answer.
Following the sound Of his voice, her
eyes caught the CLEAN Of his hunting
knife, hacking way through the
thatch and when, finally, his feet were
thrust through the opening, she seized
and guided them to foothold. In an
other second he was standing before
her. Even in the dim light she could
see that his face was blackencd, his
eyebrows, eyelashes and mustache en-

patches. "Oh! White Mani" she

pail Of smoke that had been following
close on their heels descended with a
swirl and cnveloped them. He turned,
caught up her skirt and threw it over
her head; then he seized he, in his

spiral stairway.

a day long to be remembered by every

a record-breaker for Il church. There
was a very large crowd in attendance
and the service from beginning to end
was full of great inspiration and inter

Chattle and his supporters in City

that they intend to face squarely the
big fiscal and civic problems that face
them as wen as the ruling bodies Of

President Chattle calls attention to the
fact hat the Council of 1920 must of
necessity shoulder certain old obliga-

manner as to prevent too heavy burden
on the taxpayers of the City. He calls
attention to the present debt of oyer

revenues, and to the increase in cost

Taxpayer Favors Increasing Pay of
School Teachers.


Atlantic City, N. j., Dec. 80, 1919.
Editors P~leasantville PreSS:-
l have read with much interest the
succession of letters and interviews
on the subject of teachers salaries,
and would consider it a privilege to
be permitted to add a few words.
During the past twelve years our
four children have enjoyed the adj
vantages of the fine public schools OF
Atlantic City from Primary Grades to
and through High School. In all these
years | have been in close contact
with the schools in various ways and
never have | seen a principal or teach
er fail in her interest and devotion to
her pupils. Many a little one, and
large ones too, would have gone rag
ged and cold and hungry but for her
observant eye and kind heart, which
would not let her fail to supply the
needs of her children. Many a boy
and girl has found in teacher" the
loving sympathy so often lacking in
the homes they come from.
Every parent must recognize the
close relation between teacher and
child, the great possibilities of the
teachers influence, SO often greater
even than the parents. Shall we not
be willing to pay to these women and
men, who give to our children so
much, a salary adequate for their
needs?
The work of our school children
during theWar in Liberty Loan Drives,
Red Cross and other branches of War
work. is a testimonial to the unfailing
patriotic spirit of their instructors,
who cheeTfully undertook and carried
on to a successful end every task add
ed to their regular school work. Can
we afford to lose these splendid folks
who stood by during those trying
years? If it be a question of raising
the tax rate in order to pay adequate
salaries to keep well tried and eXper-
fenced teachers in the service of our
schools, then speaking as a taxpayer
fer years in Atlantic City and County,
there is nothing for which | am more
willing to pay higher taxes than for
salaries sufficient to give us the very
best teachers for our children.
