EFFORT FORMORETRAINED
TEACHERS IS SUCCEEDING
Plan Results In Increase During
1929 Over Previous Year
Garrett Among Leaders

Of 3,016 county white elementary
teachers employed in Maryland at the
beginning of the 1929 school year
there were 2,814, or SO per cent, who
held first grade certificates, repre-
senting satisfactory completion of a
two-year normal school course or its
equivalent, as compared with 81 per
cent for the preceding year, according
to statement issued Saturday by the
State Department of Education.
In the one-teacher schools, the
statement said, 80 per cent of the
teachers hold first-grade certificates;
in two-teachers schools 81 per cen,
and in the graded schools 95 per cent.
These percentages for the three types
of schools are higher than 1928 by 5,
3, and per cent, respectively.
SO Per Cent in Garrett County
''The counties vary in the percent
age of teachers holding irst-grade
certificates from 100 in Baltimore
county and 80 in Garrett and Caroline
to II in St. Mary's and 70 in Cecil and
Charles" the statement disclosed.
~'All except seven of the counties have
at least go per cent of their teachers
with the training desired. The coun-
ties showing the greatest improve
ment in number and percentage of
trained teachers from 1928 to 1929
are Carroll, Charles, Howard, Wash
ington and Harofrd.
"Comparison with similar condi-
tions in 1921 shows the phenomenal
Improvement made in Garrett, Car
oline, Wicomico, Worcester, Howard,
Kent, Dorchester, Charles, Carroll,
Washington, Prince Georges and
Somerset counties in replacing I'M
trained with trained teachers. In
these counties the percentage of white
elementary teachers holding first
grade certificates is higher by from
60 to 92 per cent than eight years
ago.
Equalization Fund Helps
"With the exception of Howard and
Washington, all of the counties which
have made these tremendous gains
have been recipients of the State
Equalization Fund, which has made it
possible to increase the salary budget
to provide better trained teachers
without adding to the county tax bur-
den.
Counties like Baltimore, Allegany,
Montgomery, Anne Arundel and Tai
bot, which have made only slight
gains from 1921 to 1929 in the per-
centage of teachers holding first
grade certificates, had so large pro-
portion of trained teachers at the
earlier date that there was little OPP
portunity for growth.
<'The work done in the State normal
schools in training high school grad
yates to become teachers in the ele-
mentary schools, and the financial aid
afforded by the State Equalization
Fund have been the chief factors in
making it possible to approach the
goal of a trained teacher in every
school"

LAW D FILL %
PRISONS
by Universal Service

Should Congress pass immedi-
ate legislation requested by Presi-
dent Hoover for improving law
enforcement, it wauld take sew
eral years before benefits from
the legislation could be achieved,
Representative LaGuardia (RD,
of New York, declared in a state.
ment yesterday.
Congress could pass all OF the
bills urged by the President to
relieve congestion of cases in the
courts, but as the prisons and
jails are crowded there would be
no place to send the army Of per-
sons convicted, and sentenced.
LaGuardia pointed out.
Execution Impossible
If the two new prisons called
for in the Presidents program
are started Immediately. it will
take at least two years to COM
plete them, LaGuardia said. And
these would not relieve congeS-
ton of prisoners materially, he
contended.

legislation as demanded by
President Hoover in his message
to Congress =; April %, 1880, are

During the last calendar
year, 56,455 cases of violation Of
the liquor law were ter: -linated
in the Federal courts, resulting
in fines of S4,476,SOO, and prison

TN order 20 clear the cOngeS-
ton of the court, abolish bar

enforce the provisions of the
Jones law, urged by the PreSi
dent in his message, it would be
necessary for Congress not only
to pass the legislation requested,
but to provide TO-. 20 additional
Federal penitentiarieS instead of
the two already authorized.
Army of Employees
'We would have to provide for
q Federal prison population Of
over 10000.
Besides additional judges, the
plan naturally requires q cor
responding increase in district
attorneys, marShals, Department
of Justice employees, prison
guards and penal institution per.

gistS working in Palestine wonder
whether tho ruins Of Sodom, which
the Bible says was 50 wicked 1t was
burned to the ground, finally have
been found.
An expedition of the pontificial
Bible Institute of Jerusalem excavat-
ed ruins of a city hitherto unknown
to science in which all houses and
buildings were covered by q large
layer of ashes.
Investigators, taking note Of relics
found, assumed the place was burned
In the bronze age and never has been
inhabited since. The relics included
broken pottery, a few vases, and flint
instruments. Among the ruins was
an ancient wall, built partly Of stone
and partly Of bricks.
The ruins are located in the east
ern plain of the Jordan about six
kilometers north of the Dead sea-.
They were located quite by accident
when members of q pontificial Bibli-
cal institute party found some flint
objects and postcards where their
tents were located.

Mullaaa. Idaho, Jan. 2.-Q1-A petit
ton protesting against the conviction
Of the mayor. city councilmen and
chief Of police Of Mullan on a charge
Of conspiracy to violate the federal
prohibition law, and seeking presi-
Dental clemency for them was be-
Ing circulated today.
A group Of citizens led by j. B.
Wilcox, cashier Of the First National
Bank Of Mullan, circulated the petit
ton. saying they intend to present it
to President Hoover.
The city officials were found guilty
In federal court at Occur d'Alene last
Sunday Of coiaspiring to violate the
federal dry law by licensing various
business places in Mullan and using
the fees for municipal expenses.
The government charged that liquor
d~ispensaries. gambling places and dis
orderly houses had been protected by
the license system. The prosecution
conceded, however, that no one per-
sonally profited by the system, fees
Of which were used to pay the ex-
penses Of the municipality and to re-
plenish an exhausted city treasury.
All the officials convicted were SEN
fenced to federal prison or to jails for
terms ranging from 10 months to 2
years. Some Of them also were fined.

the system Of licenses obtained police
protection for the town, purchased
fire trucks, q street lighting system
and other improvements. They said
It also had constructed Fairgrounds
and swimming pools for school chill
dren, and that 1t. represented the at
tempt Of q group Of public spirited
