DENT OF UNITED STATES
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Says Short Sighted Policy in Failing
to Recognize Dignity of Teaching
Profession Has Led to Glass
Consciousness in Profession.

MISREPRESENTATION in the pub.
lie schools are contributing much to
unrest throughout the country, and
the situation has become so serious
that the states and the nation should
cooperate to remedy them, according
to a statement issued by Joseph II.
Defrees, president of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce.
"Our short-sighted policy in failing
to recognize the dignity of the teach
ing profession has led to a class con
seriousness in that profession which
has made itself felt in the classroom
and left its indelible imprint upon the
impressionable minds of the young
declared Mr.. Defrees, who adds that
of the 100000 public school teachers in
the United States:
One hundred thousand are under
the age of 21;
Thirty thousand have no education
beyond the eighth grade;
One hundred and fifty thousand
have no education beyond the third
year high school; and
Four hundred and eighty thousand,
or four-fifths of the total, have not
had two years of special training, the
minimum required in other countries.
"One reason why radicalism has not
made the same Roadway in the United
States that it has in Europe" Mr.. De-
continues, sis the fact. that hun
dreds of men occupying positions of
greatest importance in this coun-
try began life as poor boys. But what
we got to say of the inequalities
Of education?
Eighteen thousand classrooms in
country are said to have stood
die last year through lack of teachers.

ills to each classroom, that means !
children were either denied

INCREASE PLAN IS
REJECTED BY HOUSE
LIMITS MEMBERSHIP FOR TEN
YEARS TO THE PRESENT
TOTAL OF 435.
Final Showdown, After Hours of Bit
ter Debate, Proves That the Oppo-
ncnts of Measure to Increase
Membership Are in Majority.

Westinghouse the end of thI
most turbulent session Of the presenI
congress, the house on January Is
adopted the reapportionment bill with
an amendment limiting its member
ship for ten years to the present total
of 435.
The fight to prevent Increase TO 1873
was won several hours earlier, how
ever, when the house, in committee
of the whole, refused TO postpone con-
sideration of redistricting and then
voted, 1913 to II, to keep the present
maximum. 1t was after long parlia-
mentary %wrangling that the bill was
brought before the house itself for a
final showdown. The 435 amendment
finally was agreed to, 267 to 76, and
the measure made ready for the SEN
ate.
At the start the effort was made
literally to knock the bill in the head
by striking out the ~enacting clause.
After deciding to go ahead with the
measure, Representative Barbour, Re
publican, California, member of the
census committee, made himself heard
above the din and proposed the 435
maximum amendment, around Which
the battle was waged. Other amend
ments were offered, one to cut the
membership to 307 and another to
it to 400. Both were voted down.
After nearly two hours debate, a
point of order against the hill was
sustained.
As the bill stands, the states which
will lose representation are Missouri,
seats, and Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Missis-
'ippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island and Yer
mont, one each. These twelve seats
Will be shifted to eight states. Cali a.,
