(By Cablc to The Star and New York Tribune
LAUSANNE. December 2.-Tomor-
row. eight days after the arrival Of
is scheduled to begin the discussion
of that moot question. the status of
the straits Of the Dardaneiles, which
the allies agree should be demilitar-
| lied and free to all nations under
some form of international control.
To which the Russians answer Yes,
that's all right. but you aren't talk
ing about the demilitarization of the
waters of the straits. only the land.
We insist that the pre-war status of
the waters be reaff1rmed. whereby
no warships Of any nation may enter
either from the Mediterranean or the
Black sea-
Annoying to British.
Now this is extremely annoying to
the British. who had not vizualfzed
the Russian here insisting on solu-
tion which will keep their navy from
controlling the straits and likewise
the Black sea. The Turks had cared
little what happened TO the straits
and the Russians knew it. There

While the straits settlement means
very little to Ismet. he es now solid

what now is generally accepted as
the Russian bluff" the tendency to
hurl high-sounding notes at every

Russians are held to be lighting to
place themselves on footing of
equality with the great powers, but
they are forced to conduct themselves

peasants satisfied that their repre-

in traditional bolshevik fashion. thus

in the teaching profession. We must
not entrust the children to men and
women who have low ideals. who are
poorly educated. The whole teaching
profession must be put on a higher

be given full day in school, and I

for school appropriations as could be

years propose to insist upon three
major propositions when the Dis
trict committee meets: % Enough
school buildings (not monumental but
modern) to house and furnish a seat
for every child of school age for an
entire day; (2) compulsory educa-
tion law. similar to the one We have
in New Jersey, which has worked very
satisfactorily and which gives au-
thority to make the parents punish
able if the child does not attend
school: (3) free text books for chill
dren in all the schools and text books
that are up to date. II we want 70
have we'll educated children we must
have we'll trained teachers. To do
this we must have well paid teachers.
We must make their salaries attrac-
tive. SO as to compete for the best
teaching material against the in
ducement In other lines Of employ
ment. Scores of members of Con-
gress have been teachers themselves.
I have no doubt that they will eagerly
support such legislation II we rec.

for the whole country. The best is

which school authorities hope to have
passed early in the forthcoming ses-
sion Of Congress. DR.. Ballou de-
scribed as the NEST important school
leg station for the District that has
been presented to Congress In more
back of it. the District needs and
wants It," he declared.
The Capper measure not only pro-
vides new and higher salary
schedule for school employees. but pro-
v,aes v, n Tor some administrative re- re.
junior high school by providing
salary schedule for its teachers. 1t
provides a salary schedule for free or
administrative principals Of elenien-
tary schools with sixteen rooms or
more. 1t abol:shes session room pay
pals Of the elementary schools. 1t
abolishes the classes I. 2. 3. and ..
into which elementary school teach
erS are now grouped. 1t abolishes the
present annual increases in salary.
which vary in amount. and estab-
fishes uniform increase of 500
year for each elementary school
teacher
The Capper bill also provides for
the enlargement and reorganiza-
tion of the boards of examiners in
order that they may transact an In
cFedSlns amount OF important Dusl-
ness Il authorizes the board Of edu-
cation to establish the rank of "an-
nual substitute teachers" and to ap-
point temporary teachers. In addition
1t authorizes the school board to es-
ia blish the compensation of all en-
pioyes in the community center de-
partment the night schools. the va
cation schools. and of all other en-
ployes who are paid out of lump-sum
appropriations.
The salary schedule contained in the
bill. DIR. Ballou pointed out. was based
on the present compensation in WASH
ington and on the schedules received
from other cities. and it will not in
any case place the District at the
head of the list Of cities paying lead
ing salaries. In general. he said.
Washington will stand one-third or
one-fourth the way from the top Of
such list.
Nevertheless. in view of the sum-
paratively low salaries which Wush-
ingtoh now pays. the new schedule
will provide substantially better
salary for all educational emnlo-es
than the present schedule provides.
