Present Scale Above Other Industries

For the year 1921, the average annual earn
ings of all men coming within the terms Of the
1920 agreement who worked in each pay period
Of that year exceeded $1,800, figure equaled
in no other basic industry. According to the
comprehensive survey recently made by the
National Industrial Conference Board, anthracite
wages show an average increase in actual week
ly earnings of 1929 above the basic 1914 period,
against an increase in the cost of living, as of
March Is, 1922, of only 54.796. The average
earnings of mine workers, as computed by us, has
been practically confirmed not only by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board, but also by
the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Presidents Commission, in 1920, set
wage rates in the anthracite field which, in con-
junction with the steady employment offered by
the industry, produced earnings largely in excess
of the increased cost Of living at that time Stree
the award Of the Commission, due to the decline
in commodity prices, the mine workers have
further benefited by the increasing value of the
dollar, while both wages and opportunity for en-
ploynent have declined in other industries The
figures of the Industrial Conference Board show
reduction in the cost of living of 24.4eo since
July, 1920, and the figures of the United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics reduction of 22.9%
during the same period.

Gardiner Girls Club Notes

The advisory board of the Gardi-

noon in the club rooms. The new
executive secretary, Miss Elsie p.
Briggs. attended and met thes mem
sers of the board for the first time.
'rhe discussion was lively and inter-
esting on several problems of the
past. and plans for the future. In
particular Miss Briggs recommended
that a gymnastic class be opened for
the members. The board voted to
support the club in it's Christmas
sale and Mrs. Arthur Strout was ap-
pointed to confer with Miss Edna
Woodson as regards the details of the
sale A vote of interest to many
Gardiner women and girls took place
when Miss Briggs recommended that
the Girls Club rooms be regularly
opened at the noon hour and that a
hot light lunch be served to those
who wished to avail themselves of
the privilege. 1t is thought that the
Gardiner Girls Club will vote favor
ably on the recommendation of Miss
Briggs and that within a month the
new venture will be launched.

PerpleXing Problem
Crowded Conditions

HallOwell citizens have been much
intercste in the question of relieving
the congestion at Maria lark school.
It SCENE at first incredible that the
fine modern building had been out
grown. While it is a matter for con
graduation that the Young pcople
and the children of the city seeking
an education are so many. their
numbers have proved embarra ssing
even in the only tWo-year- old high
school building and utterly perplexinc
in Maria Clark. The congestion there
is in the fifth and sixth grades. There
are Sc pupils in Grade V and so in
Grade VI, with more to enter if room

pacity of each room is only 50 at
normal. OF course more can be
crowded in. but the resulting condi-
tons are good neither for pupil nor
teacher.
The simplest settlement of this
problem appears to lie another grade
that shall take in the more advanced
of Grade V and the less advanced Of
Grade VI. This is the solution fav-

would promise excellent results from
the pedagogical standpoint. But
where to house this grade is the prob
lem. The Methodist and Baptist yes
tries, the old city hall and the new
have all had their turn as proposed
dcmiciles for this class to be formed,
but all seem to offer objections, par
tucularly from the point Of view Of
before school and recess activities. 1t
is understood that the solution that is
least Objectionable will be taken, and
that is the charging of the small
sewing room in Maria Clark building
by taking in some of the corridor
space In this way small class &C

additional teacher for this class, to
be decided upon when the changes are

If it is possible hy this method Of
