HELPING TEACHER PLAN
URGED BY STATE BODY
Helping. Teachers Are Said to
Improve Rural Schools
Hundred Per Cent

A cure for some defects of the
one-teacher rural school is proposed
in recommendation of the Minneso-
ia Education association. 1t is the
helping-teacher. Under this plan,
great improvements are reported to
have been made in New Jersey,
Maryland, Wisconsin and other
states. But as yet only one county
in Minnesota, St. Louis, has a help
ing-teacher. In Maryland ,supervis-
DRY and helping-teachers must have
three or four years training beyond
the high school, four years expert
ence, and salary minimum fixed by
law. In Wisconsin, a similar plan is
in use, each county being required
to have at least one helper, or two
for more than 1875 teachers. In New
Jersey, the law passed in 1915 pro-
viding helping-teachers with a maxi
mum salary Of $1,000 was revised in
1920, placing the amount of the sal
airy in the hands of the State Com
missioner and allowing $500 for ex-
penses. This seems to show what
New Jersey thinks of the plan.
1t is stated that the helping-teach-
er is needed in Minnesota. In this
state, according to the Bureau of
Education, 90 per cent of the rural
teachers have had less than two
years training beyond the high
school, standing next to lowest in the
nation in this respect; most of the
teachers are very young and mex
perienced and need supervision; they
work alone in rural districts, far
from professional help; and they
have many difficult problems Of dis
cipline, equipment, and relations to
the community. The county superin-
tendent is usually absorbed with Of
flee and administrative duties and
has too little time to supervise the
work Of many teachers.
1t is to these that the helping
teacher brings pro ess j onal

ing promise for quick settlement,
was underway here today. Ben w.
Hooper, chairman of the railroad
labor board, met with railroad ex-
ecutives throughout the night in an
effort to obtain concession from tho
carriers.
Following his meeting with the ex-

ference early today. He obtained tho
conditions on which the union heads
were willing to make settlement
previous to meeting the managers.
Following his conference with ex-
ecutives, Hooper held another con-
ference early today with shop craft
unions carrying to the strike lead
ers the position taken by the rail-
road managers, After his meeting
with the labor chieftains, another
conference between Hooper and the
company hea.s is scheduled.
The peace movement promises to
bring results just as indications
pointed to the strengthening Of tho

County Board Also Favorably
- Considers Lowering of ,
County Tax Budget
SIMILAR ACTION BY
OTHER BODIES URGED
Ten Per Cent Cut Considered
By County; Others Asked
to Follow Suit

County Auditor A. D. johnson is
determined to reduce the taxes IN
Beltrami county for the coming year
and has recommended cut Of 10
per cent to the county board, which
body has given favorable considera-
ton to his recommendation.
"There is but one way to lower
the taxes said Mr.. johnson "and
that is to lower them. We must set
a limit to our budget and live with
in our means. That is what every
private citizen does and that IS
what the county must do.
81 believe the people want relief
from tax burdens and l shall DO al
in nv power to give, that relief. The
county is but one of the taxing
bodies and will have nothing to say
as to the amount of tax made 10y
the state, city or school district"
The following is a copy of the let
ter of recommendation made by
County Auditor A. D. Johnson to the
board OF county commissioners: .
II herewith present to you for
~your consideration and approval the
annual budget for the year 1922,
the same to be levied upon all tax
able property within the county.
have given this budget consid-
cradle thought and attention cutting
every item of expense to the mini
mum.
',Oficials who are entrusted with
the powers of taxation should SER
iously take into consideration the
ability of the taxpayer to pay the
taxes imposed and if this fact was
lived up to strictly, I am sure there
would be little complaint from any
quarter.
"Another very important phase in
keeping taxes at minimum IS to
set the amount for expenditure and
keep within it. If this plan is not
followed out it becomes necessary
to make an additional levy to take
care Of the overdraft in the follow
ing year.
During the past ten years over
one million three hundred thousand
dollars has been spent on highways
throughout the county; should this
be figured on a per capita basis 1t
would be astounding, but neverthe-
less, it is necessary that roads be
constructed in order to develop
the county, but the limit should not
go beyond the ability of the tax
payer to pay but should insure him
reasonable return on the investment.
II have therefore prepared for
your approval this budget which
shows a decrease of110 per cent I'M
der the previous year. 49,
"The reduction of taxes cannot
be carried out by you alone. You
must have the cooperation Of City,
Village, Town and School Boards.
The County's portion is small COM
pared to cost of operation of City
Village and School Districts, but all
combined in one effort along the
same line will give the relief which
is 81 much desired-lower taxes.
"Knowing itxlis your desire to
promote the commercial, agrlcul-
tural and industrial welfare of this
county and at the same time keep

Virgins has since claimed that he
was robbed On the other hand 0 Hare
states that no can defeat Virgins every

any great extent. but he has been offered

James (Jlmmy) L. Barrett, one of base
balls greatest outfelders Of all time. left
at the time of his death, few weeks
ago, an estate of nearly half a million
dollars. IN the heyday Of his diamond
career Jimmy Barrett played an outfeld

team on account of a turned ankle. That
was In 1908, the year Ty Cobb Joined the
team and filled the position vacated by
Barrett.
During his years of baseball Barrett
always frugal and saving, accumulated
about $50 900 in cash He entered the

Upton Vincennes Game
Proposed for This City;
K0k0mo Contest Friday

Upton, Ind, Jan. 24-Due to the fact
that the Upton High School basket ball
team has been undefeated so far this
season some one has suggested that Tip
ton and Yincennes arrange a clash to
be staged at indianapolis, Feb. q. The
local squad has open date then. Vim
Cennes has been rambling through the
ranks Of ,the southern Indiana teams in
game probably would prove quite a
feature. The board Of control Of the
State High School Athletic Association
probably would have to be consulted be-
fore such a project could be put through,
however, and there is a feeling in many
quarters that the State officials would
3rown on the game.
At the present time Upton followers
are more interested In the clash with
the Kokomo quintet at Kokomo, Friday
night. In a previous match between the
rival teams here. the locals won, JIG TO
a. Kokomo sees a big chance OF coping
the second contest, but Upton has not
lost any of its confidence and Will go
over to the game Friday backed by a
huge party Of rooters.

CHAMBER VOTES
TO BACK MEET
Expense Fund Must Be Raised,
However, Before College
Event Is Assured.

At a meeting Of the Junior Chamber
Of Commerce Monday night, that organi-
cation voted unanimously in favor of the
National intercollegiate Basket Ball
Tournament which is being planned by
q committee in charge, to be held at the
Coliseum, State Playground, on March
8, 10, and II.
Floyd Chafee, secretary Of the Junior
Chamber brought the plan before the
membership in every detail and the meet
ing received 1t enthusiastically. The
committee was told to go ahead with the
arrangements with the complete approval
of the Junior organization.
At present the financial problem is the
big issue to be taken care Of before the
tourney can be an assured fact. Approx
mately $4,000 must be guaranteed by
business men Of the city to assure the
expenses of the meet. The committee has
ten days in which to raise the funds and
it is thought that when the many ad-
vantages TO this city OF having such
national sport event are clearly seen, that
the money will be orthcoming.
