HENDERSON BACK VISIT TO. THREE
 TOWNS IN SOUTH
Visits Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg - Finds
 Schools Tn Good Shape.

Schools in the southern end of this Division are uniformly in good shape, declared Commissioner of Education L. D. Henderson, who with Mrs. Henderson returned here today after visit to Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg. Commencement exef cises st both Ketchkan and Wran gell were attended by Commissioners Henderson.
 The graduating class at Ketchikan, with eight members. was the largest in the history of the school, he said. The. school also had enrolled the largest membership in the towns history. In the Wrangell school commencement there were two mem bers of the graduating class.
 At all three towns visited matters of general educational interest were taken up by MT. Henderson with the school boards, citizens generally and the teachers. At Ketchikan, the school building is hardly sufficient to accommodate the number of stu dents now enrolled. according to MT Henderson. No change, however, is contemplated for another year, but a new school building will be erect ed in 1923 Authority for floating a bond issue for that purpose has al ready been secured An additional teacher will be added to the High School staff there next year, said MT. Henderson, making the total number of teachers employed 15. The surerintende of Ketchikan schools, Professor John E. Johnson, will re main there next year and most Of the instructors employed this year will return, a few vacancies, however will have to be filled.
 The principal of the Wrangeil school, Miss May Crosno, has re signed as has Miss Thekla Garvey principal of the Petersburg school and both vacancies will have to be filled this summer. The Wrangell school closes today, after full term of 38 weeks.
 Petersburg, said MT. Henderson, IS badly in need of new school build ing and the town has already been given authority by an act Of Con gress to float the necessary bond IS sue for that purpose. A meeting was held during MT. Hendersons 5 stay there. at which it was decided to call mass meeting Saturday night and adopt plans for funding the bonds locally. The Petersburg bank has already agreed to sub scribe $5,OOO out of total issue ot s25. 900 and it is believed that the citizens will be able to absorb the remaining $2O,O00. If this is done it is expected that the work on d substantial structure, adequate for all needs of the town will begin Tn the near future, 4ss

nothing wrong with school system today. = The
time has when the kind of men and women we
have had teachers in the past make more money
in hundred occupations outside the schools .
From this time forward, unless nteligently
to meet the present crisis expect our children
be taught by unprepared and inexperienced teachers
of mediocre ability, while they wait for the maturity
which is required for employment in the minor and
occupations and by the leftovers of such
and who have failed to find attractive
employment elsewhere, but have not wholly failed
teachers; and there is shortage of this kind
AS illustrative of Commissioner CaXton's statement
that the time has come when men and women
make money in hundred occupations outside the
school" the. following comparisons are given:
The report the United States Commissioner of
Education for 1919 shows that the average annual pay
teachers in the United States Including high school
teachers and principals was $685.

policies, support it necessary condition of peace

A WISE CHOICE

A good deal Ct interest has been aroused in the south
by the announcement that Charles Hart Huston Of Chat
tancoga has been slated for the post CT Secretary of
Commerce in Mr. Harding cabinet
This will be very fortunate choice Mr. Huston
active representative of The business rather than the
political interests of the south, and is better known in
business than political circles. Born in Indiana forty
five years age he made his way in life, paying by
his own efforts for his collegiate education and going
10 Chattanooga in 1898 as an instructor in the Normal
University of that city. His aptitude for business and
Organization soon took him out of active educational
work; and he became identified with many of his cty's
NEST important commercial, financial and manufacturing
enterprises.
hough lifelong Republican he sought political
hcnors for himself. He has however, filled many I'M
portant non-potcaI positions such The presidency of
two leading social clubs Of the Y NJ c. A., the Chat
tanocga Manufacturers Association, the Chamber of
Commerce, the Chanmanship Of the Fifth Liberty Loan
Dive putting his city over the TOP" the vice-pesidency
Ct the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce, second vice
presidency of the Dixie Highway Association, and, for
number of years. the presidency of the Tennessee River
Improvement Association. He is lhrty-Ihrd degree
Mason and an elder in the Presbyterian church.
Through his extensive connection with southern bust
ness concerns his knowledge of the conditions and needs
of the south is profound and sympathetic. His ability
and integrity of the highest order No better man
for the head of the department could be found
all the forty eight states. and certainly no man could
be named whose appointment would give more satisfac
ton to the south, or do more to accomplish Mr.
Hardings avowed purpose of wipng the last vestge

COMPENSATION
(St. Petersburg Times)

The eternal law of compensation works pretty well
in the realms of economics just it does elsewhere
These dull times afford endless illustrations of it,
The industries that made the most money during the
and after the armistce are now making the least
The proiteers are paying for their extortaon. The
workmen who reveled in the highest wages of their
lives are out of work The farmers who reached unex
amped heights of prosperity find their products drug
ON the market The merchants who short time ago
seemed to think they doing "a customer favor in
permitting him to buy their goods are begging for
trade The middleman who waxed fat forced to live
on that same fat and is growing slim in the process
There is sort OF justice in the rise and fall of pros
perity as it is exemplifed by large economic groups
All have their ups and downs but the average level is
probably fair That level be found by reckoning
incomes and living conditions in units of year
as ordinarily done units of five or ten years
