IARIO DEL COMERCIO. Bar
ranquilla.-There Is immediate
need Of duplicating the number
Of schools which exist In this

country. The present ruTaI
schools in particular, established py oe-
cree 49l, of 1904, are as yet WoeIuily
inadequate to provide instruction for the
children of the remoter districts, both
in their number and in the subjects
taught.
Apart from the elements Of reading,
writing and ciphering. a little geos-
raphy, patriotic history and agriculture
have comprised the curricula. And IL
is becoming more difficult TO secure
teachers, according to DR.: Abel CARBON
ELI, minister of education, even lor
these primitive courses. 1t has long
been recognized that the teachers are
the most meagerly paid of all our public
servants. Regardless OF their important
contributions to the social wel1are OF
the nation. their Stipends ordinarily are
even less than those Of the clergy, whose
necessities do not include the main
tenance of family -,
Teachers, too, must be OF hlsh
moral and intellectual standard, or their
usefulness is short-lived No other pro-
fession. with the exception, perhaps, OF
the sacerdotal, requires more care1ul
and elaborate preparation, nor imposes
more rigid rules OF future conduct.
Nevertheless. the tecompenses for per-
sons Of such high culture and CHAR
acter are the smallest OF all those PAID
any indispensable servants OF society:
The teachers naturally are sensible OF
such discrimination and the ministry
of education almost daily receives let
ters and kilograms from different in
structors pointing out their financially
embarrassed state and asking some
relief.
unless there is early improvement In
these stipends there Is likely to be
still greater paucity Of schools and
teachers, with a corresponding decad-
ence in the capacities and intelligence
of our future citizens.

r. CLUB, Virginia Beach, Va,
l. June 4.-With many Of the
strongest golfers from the
National Capital in the list of en-
trants, a star field of players from
the District of Columbia, Maryland
and Virginia started today in the
quest for the Middle Atlantic golf
championship, now held by the
tow-headed Billy Howell of the
Country Club or Virginia, at Rich
mond.
Harry G. Pitt Of the Manor Club,
winner of the Middle Atlantic tourney
in 1928 and winner during the last three
weeks Of two important invitation tour
naments near Washington and Balti-
more, headed the entry list from WASH
ington.
Other players from the Capital in

play at clubs near Norfolk The 49,
hole qualifying round was to end to-
day, to be followed by four match play
rounds tomorrow and Saturday. with
an l8-hole final carded for Saturday
afternoon.
Howell obtained special permission
from Washington and Lee University to
leave school to defend his title and
will be a strong contender to repeat
in the championship. Washingtonians
will remember his sturdy golf in the
Columbia tournament, which he won
last year He will play again next
week in the Columbia tourney.
The course of the Princess Anne
Country Club cut through pine woods
and only a brasSie shot and a pitch
from the ocean, has been thoroughly
groomcd for the occasion. A brisk
wind which blew from the ocean today
threatened to send the scores we'll up,
but it was expected a card of 81 or
better would make the first flight.
Should the wind spring up stronger
the course will be real test of high
class golf, for the breeze sweeps through
the colonnades of pines with great
force. Most of the Washington dele
cation arrived at the club this morning
after a trip down the Potomac by boat.

CENE TUNNEY weighed 1872 pounds
" for his championship bout with
Tom Heeney-and I wish they
would quit saying that he hand picked"
Heeney, because only Tex Richard, Tun-
nev and myself were in the room at
Miami Beach when that match was
made, and know that Tunney was per-
fectly willing to fight anybody who was
around at the time, except Pauline,
whom he figured a tough, awkward fell
low out of whom there was neither
profit nor glory to be made. Jack Shar-I
key never can blame any one except
himself that he didn't get the Tunney
match.
But what I started to say was that
when Tunney stepped off the boat the
other day he weighed just 1879 pounds.
That shows you how easy it IS for a
young retired champion to keep in con-
dition. He keeps in condition, of course.
by never permitting himself to get
really out of shape. Tunney had a
grand time while he was away, but I
think he was glad to get home.
The Schmeling -Stribling bout has
now reached the golf and Photographic
state OF training. For the next few
weeks the gladiatorS will do little box
ing and much posing, talking and golf
ing.
The last two weeks or so they will
buckle down to real intensive training
for the fight. Just at present they are
training for the ballyhoo.
