Historical Harvest to Be Slight.
The historical harvest will be OF
less Importance. Inscriptions avail
able for study at the moment of my
visit were Of three kings. First
there were official sealings STAMPED
upon the mud partitions by which the
tomb itself and its several chambers
were closed. Secondly, there were
dockets of labels, written in hferatfc

Lastly, there were purely decora-

Prof. Breasted. eminent historian
OF ancient Egypt, but 1 am permitted
to state that no evidence was thereby
revealed of any interference with the
tomb later than the reign of King
Haremhap, Tutankhamen's successor.
This conclusion tallies with that to
be drawn from the hieratic dockets,
all of which are cotemporary, and
indeed are probably attributable in all
cases. except the wine jars, to the
undertakers themselves.

TEACHERS COUNCIL
TAKES UP PAY BILL
Session Behind Double Set of
Closed Doors Without Trace
. of Controversy.

The Teachers Council met in special
session yesterday afternoon behind
double set of closed doors leading
to the board Of education's chamber
in the Franklin School. Allan Davis,
chairman of the council, said the en-
tire session was devoted to the dis
cussion of the Capper teachers salary
and school reorganization bill, and
that everything was carried on in
perfect harmony and agreement
To dispel the opinion of certain
high school teachers that the school
authorities were not in favor of the
teachers salary bill as amended by
the House District committee, the Of
ficials issued the following COM
munique following the council meet
ing.
The attitude of the school officials
has been in favor of the salary bill.
Every effort by the school officials
has been given to bring before the
members of Congress the necessity
for the authorization of an adequate
salary schedule.
No Anta&Onism Expressed.
Never in any way. directly or In
directly, have the school officials ex-
pressed an attitude of antagonism to
the most generous salary provision
that Congress was willing to author
ize.
NO expression antagonistic to the
proposed amendment has ever been
made by any school official, nor has
any action been taken by any Of
these officials which could be con-
strued as antagonistic to such amend
mentS
THE teachers salary bill was pre-
pared by committees representing
the teachers, and the officials have not
felt free to advocate any bill differ
Ing from the bill proposed by the
teachers council
THE attitude of the school officials
is that any amendment which Con-
gress may be willing to accept grant
ing a more liberal salary placement
for teachers Is to be welcomed The
passage Of revised salary schedule
is of vital Importance to the schools" /"

BY DIR. ALAN H. GARDINER.

Precisely seven days and three
hours after leaving London I found
myself at the entrance of the tomb
dertake any deciphering work which
might be intrusted to me. A sight
of the artistic marvels discovered by
Howard Carter largely atoned for my
natural disappointment at the news
that after all there were no papyri.
Those acquainted with the conditions
will have no difficulty in understand
ing how the mistake arose. At the
outset only a dim light was avail
able, the lids of the boxes had to be
raised with the utmost caution, and
It would have been scientifically GRIM
inal to handle or even touch objects
within. 1t Is little wonder. therefore,
that some discolored rolls of linen
were mistaken for papyri.
Doubt II Papyri Are Found.
Whether or not papyri will ulti-
mately be found among the treasures
of the tomb is doubtful. If. as we
are entitled to hope. the burial cham
ber be intact, or buc slightly plum
dered, 1t is likely that at least an
example of the Book Of the Dead
will be discovered, but what students
Of Egyptian history and philology
long for is not q corrupt, garbled
version OF the ancient Itinerary
rituals such as a papyrus of the
Book Of the Dead belonging to this
period would undoubtedly present,
but, rather, a series of letters, jour
nails or archives of some sort that
could throw light upon the stirring
times In which King Tutankhamen
lived or upon his conversion from
the Aten heresy back to the faith of
his forefathers. The hope that any
such documents will emerge is, we
must admit, but q very faint one.
Probably In the end the claim
Of the new tomb to be the greatest
discovery ever made In Egypt will
rest mainly on. the great quantity
