ON SCHOOL BOARD.
Business Officials Say
We Got Here First

The school boards rush building
program is doomed to go on the rocks
unless the business and architectural
departments adopt more efficient
management This is a warning note
sent in a report by the Griffenhagen
Accountants, officially to the school
board trustees, unofficially to incite
the taxpayers.
The report brands these two de-
partments as wasteful and inefficient
and warns that the schools needed to
relieve the congestion this fall will
not be forthcoming. To save money
and to speed up work they recon-
mend the employment of more of their
expert engineers and directors.
This little battle between the ac-
countants and the board holds its les
son to the workers of Chicago. Each
one is fighting for bigger share in
the tax pie that the workers have
handed them. The accountants stay
awake nights thinking up more jobs
for themselves-the business offices
want to hoard the spoils for them
selves.

TEACHERS WANT
PAYdNCR EASE
and COUNCILS
Sixteen Demands Are
Issued by Union

A national fight for the 16 points of
its 1925-26 program is launched by the
American Federation of Teachers in
a statement to the press by Secretary
F. G. Stocker at the Chicago head
quarters.
Higher wages to teachers, adequate
buildings and the full 5-hour school
day for each child, are among the de-
mands. Automatic wage increases are
asked from minimum of $4,000 a
year, with allowance for additional
training and other qualifications. Old
age pensions of three fourths Of the
pay at retirement after 80 years of
employment; pay during illness and
quarantine or absence due to death in
the family, and absence with pay to
permit further training are also de-
manded
Wants TeacherS Councils.
On the matter OF teacher discipline
the union wants recognition Of bona
fide teacher councils, not company un-
ions, to help determine educational
policy; academic freedom especially
in social and natural science classes;
trial boards with teacher representa-
ton; job security; elected school
boards; abolition of the secret grading
of teachers by principals and super
intendents.
Not more than 1900 children in one
school and not more than 80 in one
class are desired. Safe, sanitary and
comfortable school buildings in which
modern methods developed by expert
mental education prevail are requested
to help carry out the ideal Of equal
educational opportunity for all per-
sons, without discrimination on ac-
count Of race, religion or social status"

them, Stecker promises.

BELGIUM MUST
PAY HER DEBTS,
SAYS A. MELLON
May Receive Barrel of
Booze as Rebate

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. - Several
summers have passed by since the
maudlin emotions of bourgeois domi-
mated American workers were turn
ing out sympathy for poor little Bel
gium," the helpless victim Of the Ger
man military machine. The invar
sion of Belgium, no matter how ne
cessary 1t was to the schemes Of the
German general star was as useful
20 the allies in arousing sentiment
against Germany as was the sinking
of the Lusitania later on.
But those happy days are gone by
and when Belgium reminds her form
er allies of the kindly sentiments they
expressed towards her during the
war, there is cynical smile as much
as to say: what a political kiddy
you are dear?"
These observations are brought
forth by the efforts ON the part of
the United States TO make poor
little Belgium" come across with the
money the United States lent her
with which to purchase guns and
shells during the war. Belgium re-
minds the United States that the
guns and shells were purchased to
defeat Germany and why should Bel
GUM have to pay for winning the
war for the United States. Did she
not provide the allies with place
to fight the war on? Did she not
also supply them with men to fire the
shots at the Germans? Why collect
tor service rendered to the collector?
Woodrow Wilson's Pal.
Former premier Theunis of Belgium
has been selected by the Belgian gov
tnment to drive the bargain with the
United States. Theunis was an in
Innate of Woodrow Wilson when the
latter thot he was running the world
Erom Paris in 1919. Wilson told The
unis that on his return to the United
States he would ask congress to can
eel Belgium's indebtedness. He did
not. He had his hands fun with
pther matters. The senate turned
down his treaty and his league of
nations and sent him to the junk
Pile. So Belgium is now sucking her
thumbs.
When Belgium reminds Secretary
Mellon, the whiskey magnate, of Will
sons promises, Mellon takes down a
decanter and politely asks the Bel
gian what he thinks of pre-Volstead
liquor, mellowed in wood. This
means that Belgium must come
across. A debt is handy thing in the
hands of willy and powerful creditor
