"A difference of So per cent be-

School Expenses
1.-THE general increase in school
costs as indicated on the above table
Is a matter of concern to school
committees and the public generally.
The condition Is not peculiar to New
Britain-it is widespread and is a
subject of general discussion.
'Since approximately so per cent
Of the entire school expense is for
salaries. 1t Is safe to say that
economies OF any considerable
amount can be effected only In the
item Of salaries In one or more OF
the following ways:
Reducing the salary rates. In
creasing the number of pupils per
teacher and so reducing the total
number of teachers in some or all
grades of schools.
ITO reduce the salary rates would
result a. In disconnected teach
ing staff, and (2) in a distinct dis
advantage in competing for the
services of able teachers In the open
market. and ca the loss Of many
OF our strongest teachers.
THE increase In the size of
classes in elementary grades, when
We consider that the average NUM-
Der of pupils per teacher is IS,
would be an experiment OF doubtful
value.
1.-THE increase OF the size of classes
New Britain herald., 1928-09-14

per week OF physical training TOT
each pupil In the school,
while the general structural
conditions In the academic and yo-
cational high school buildings are
sound and safe. 1t Is true that there
n much need Of refinishlng for the
walls and ceilings throughout the
TIVE buildings. This u due to two
reasons. one. because Of the fact
that the school repair appropriation
has never been large enough ia
make the necessary renovations, and
two. because for the last few years
1t would have been wasteful to
make extensive renovations or
changes In view of the expectation
Of the more general changes that
would be involved in the enlarge
ment Of the plant.
There was Z time when = school
house consisted Of four walls. con-
tanning only plain rooms having
thirty or forty desks, and black
boards. Such a school house will no
longer meet the needs Of the pres
ent day. The schools have changed
and the school houses must change
with the school needs and activities.
This is particularly true Of high
schools. The modern high school
should be planned to meet the
needs of classroom use. expanded
courses of study. special subjects
and extra curricular activities. 1t
must also have = spacious auditor
ium with well equipped stage, and
ample gymnasiums for boys and
girls, with adequate bathing facili-
ties. Furthermore. it must be plan
ned and equipped to serve not only
pupil needs. but the general public
as we'll.
The Cost OF School Buildings
1.-The opening Of the Robert ].
Vance school In November and the
Benjamin Franklin school In April
added two fine school buildings to
our school plant and at the same
time gave relief to aggravated con-
ditions Of overcrowding and part
time schooling in the Monroe and
Washington school districts.

Mr.. HOOVER CONTINUES TO BE A
TRAIL BLAZER

The announcement made by President-efect
Herbert Hoover the latter part of the week that he
would visit several of the Central and South Amer
lean countries on mission of good will before he
assumed the duties of chief executive of the great
nation, is attracting worldwide interest.
Mr.. Hoover is blazing a trail with this trip
which will start early next week His proposed visit
is being received with enthusiasm by the Latin
American governments and each will vie with the
other in making his welcome cordial one
Central and South American countries are trade
territories that naturally belong to the United States
As keen observer of conditions and an organizer
extraordinary the Presdent-elect will gather much
information that he will work out to the advantage
of the business and agriculturists of the United
States
1t is great missionary work and the Ameri-
can people as a unit are wishing him safe and
pleasant journey 1t is expected that the trip will
take from 40 to 60 days.
The party making the trip will be a small and

mediate the personnel of his cabinet without
the interference of busybody politicians who have
personal interests to care for.

Allies Of President-Elect
Lay Plans to Ask Farm Aid
McNary Will Present Bill En-
bodying Mr.. Hoover's PLAN
Borah Doubtful

Washington, Nov. 1O-Herbert
Hoover's political allies in congress
already are laying plans for full
fillment of his hope for "farm re-
lief before the next harvest"
Senator C. l.. McNary, of Ore
gon, chairman of the agriculture
committee and co-author of the
McNary-Haugen bill, has announc-
ed he will present a measure en-
bodying Hoover's plan of relief at
the short session of congress.
Congress should be able to pass
such a bill in a week, and / be-
lieve President Coolidge would
sign it," Senator McNary said.
Hearings would be unnecessary,
because all available information
was gathered by committees which
drafted the McNary-Haugen bill. "
The senator asserted he saw no
reason for delaying action until a
special session next spring.
Senator w. f. Borah (rep.,
Idaho), however, does not share
the optimism of his Oregon col
league and declared he saw little
hope for farm relief legislation in
the short session, pointing out that
such measures undoubtedly will be
crowded out by the pressure of an
nual appropriation and other pend
ing bills which must be disposed of.

Butter Prices Stronger in
Chicago and New York
Egg Quotations Higher for First
Class Observation-Disclosures
Prices Unsettled

The actual receipts of butter on
the four largest eastern consum-
ing markets Chicago, New York,
Boston and Philadelphia, from
Monday to Friday inclusive last
week were 116,985 sixty-pound
tubs as compared with 104,811
during the same period the week
previous and good supply of but
ter for the season of the year.
While this is good supply of
butter for the season of the year,
it is short Of the requirements for
current consumption and storage
stocks are being used to make up
the deficiency. Eastern butter
markets have been steady and both
Chicago and New York quotations
have advanced during the past
week.
Chicago butter market 80 Score
Standards today are At ga cents,
an advance as compared with Mon
day last week of one cent pound.
New York Score Extras are 5OR
to- so ga cents, an advance as
compared with a week ago of a
half to three quarters cents pound.
Egg production continues light
and receipts on Eastern markets
last week showed further decrease.
Egg production from now on is
largely weather proposition.
However, at this time receipts are
running lighter than they were
year ago. There has been little
noticeable improvement in general
quality and there continues to be
comparatively wide variation in
selling prices which vary directly
according to the actual quality of
product sold. While the egg mar
ket is advancing it is noticeable
that only the top quality eggs are
being sold at the high quotations.
Storage egg stocks are moving out
in regular, orderly manner for
this season of the year.
Chicago egg market today on
Firsts is 38 to 43 cents, as COM
pared with 81 to 40 cents same
day last week. New York market
on Firsts today is 81 to 40 cents.
The road conditions in the Cen
trail West, which were in the Sec
ton of the storm area week ago,
are now clearing up and poultry
generally is moving. Receipts are
fairly heavy as is to be anticipat-
ed just before Thanksgiving and
indications are now that there will
be good supply available for
Thanksgiving orders. The mar
keting of turkeys which for
Thanksgiving trade is now in full
swing and during this week the
bulk of those available on the
eastern markets for Thanksgiving
will have been shipped. At this
time it is impossible to determine
just what the Thanksgiving market
will be or probable selling prices.
Chicago live poultry market to-
day: fowl 20 to 24IAscents, springs
20 to ,2s cents. These quotations
represent a decIinel particularly on
heavy fowl. It is also noticeable
that closing quotations last week
on the New York market were 2 to
6 cents higher on all weights of
fowl and to 2 cents on spring

SOUTH HAS BIG ADVANTAGE

Arthur Sears Henning, well known Washing
ton correspondent and one of the best authorities
political affairs in the nation, in Tuesday eve.
ning's newspapers discussed the inequality of rep
resentation in Congress The states south of the
Mason and Dixon line have always had COMPRESSION
al representation entirely out of line with the popu
lar vote cast. The number of congressman is based
population and it is well known fact that the
Negro is strenuousy discouraged in exercising the
right of suffrage. Mr. Henning in the following
analysis proves that vote in the South actually
counts for more than cast in the North:
Representation in the national house of rep
resentatves is based by the constitution on
population. By the last apportionment there
is representative for each 211,S77 persons
in the country under the census of 1910. Con-
gress has failed to reapportion on the basis of
the 1920 census.
The electoral college vote of each state con-
ssts of many electors it has senators and
representatives. In the 4S state electoral col
leges there are total of 531 electors.
Eleven of the Is states having more con-

gressmen and presidential electors than they
would be entitled to on the basis of the popular
vote are the southern states
If representation in congress and the
electoral colleges were based on the popular
vote, Texas would lose 10 congressman and 10
electors; Georgia, 8; Alabama, q; Mississippi,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, 6
each; Arkansas and Louisiana, 5 each; North
Carolina, 8; and Connecticut, Florida and Ohio,
one EACH
Conversely, California would gain IL !;
Illinois, 10; New York, 9; New Jersey, 4;
Indiana, a; Massachusetts, and Michigan, 3
each; Missouri and West Virginia, each, and
Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky. Maryland,
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hamp-
shire, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Utah, Washington and Wisconsin, one each.
All of this means vote in one part of the
country, particularly the south, counts for more
in electing the congress and the president than
does vote in another part, particularly the
north. The vote of one resident of South Car
DINA, for example, counts as much as the vote
of 181 Chicagoans. It takes 80 Chicago voters
to do what one Mississippian does at the bal
lot box.
