Tell Georgetown Group
SIashed Budgets Often
Bar improvements.

District Commissioners last night
explained to members Of the George
town Progressive Citizens Association.
in session at the Curtis School, that
often they were not able to effect i'm
provements suggested by citizens be-
cause of the limitations Of their powers
and the restrictions inherent in budget
appropria tions.
Through the president Of the board,
DR.. Luther Reichelderfer, the Commis-
sioners held that while they are willing
and anxious to achieve every favorable
change, the problem has been one OF
slashed budgets or increased taxation,
and he said popular opinion invariably
favors the former.
Besides Dr. Reichelderfer. the spe-
cial guests were Commissioner Herbert
Crosby and Acting Engineer Commits
sioner Maj Donald A. Dawson. George
w. Ofutt, president of the Board of
Trade and C. Melvin Sharpe OF the
Potomac Electric Power Co.
Two resolutions. approving the COM
mission order forbidding dance mara
thons of more than II hours durstion
and favoring the proposed traction
company merger here, were unani-
mously adopted.
In regard to the proposed merger Of
street railway systems, Mr.. Sharpe as
serted the transportation problem Is be-
coming acute, with the three joint trac-
ton companies at present operating at
a daily loss of $1,000 to $4,000. He
charged that many Of the taxi drivers
now working in Washington were from
out of town, and were attracted by
the easy pickings."
Commissioners Crosby and Dawson
and Mr.. Offutt also made brief ad-
dresses.
The entertainment program included
songs by Miss Marguerite Campbell and
a minuet costume dance by eight young
members of the Children of the Amer
lean Revolution. Mrs. Elizabeth Sui
livan, the associations vice president,
presided.

ON FINANCIAL NEWS
Field Broadens Rapidly, Speaker
Tells George Washington
Journalism Students.

"T1he time Is coming when no large
newspaper bureau in washington Will
be complete without a man who thor
oughly knows finance" said William H
Grimes, chief Of the Washington ONCE
Of the Wall Street Journal, In an ad-
dress yesterday afternoon before the
class in journalism at George Washing
ton University. The speaker stated
that, "as time goes on, events In this
city are going to concern finance and
economic matters more and more"
Mr.. Grimes traced the development
of such branches Of the Government as
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
the Federal Reserve Board and the
Farm Board and emphasized their i'm
portance to the press, with the conclu-
sion that political news had become q
major classification In the field Of f1nan-
cial news.
In describing the work Of the finan-
cial reporter, he said that the field was
much broader than 10 years or even 5
years ago, declaring that it was mot
news of a little circle in New York
called Wall Street, but matters Of in
terest to all investors from the Atlantic
to the Pacific" He pointed to impor-
tant American newspapers which, cen
trary to the practice of not many years
ago, were publishing daily several pages

One Utah county reports 600 cars pass
ing through on United States highway
81 in q single day, and refers to this
tourist travel as a substantial aid TO
local finance.
From Vermont: "The coming year is
a test year with us. If times are better
there will be no inroads upon education.
but If times continue hard, adjustments
will be necessary
A report from Virginia says: "I doubt
If 2 farmers out of 100 have made ex-
penses out of the crops harvested this
year and the crop now being marketed
sweet potatoes-is not worth being
harvested from the financial stand
point"
Reports from counties in Washington
State show salary reductions and con-
ditions generally bad. One Washington
superintendent writes: Employment
conditions have grown steadily worse

! more heads of families are being laid

those in need of food" From another
Washington county: Through the
loyalty of our rural teachers believe
we will be able to maintain nine
months of school in all districts" And
again from Washington: "The elemen-
| tary schools will feel the effects of the
reduction more than the high schools
There will be less supervision" And
again: Some contracts are being issued
for six months, even in high schools. u
Staff Is Cut to Bone.
West Virginia is hard hit. THE con-
ditions of public finances will greatly
impair the effectiveness of our school
program for the coming school year
The teaching force has been pared to
the quick, resulting in an increased
teacher load. Property valuations have
been reduced 25 per cent"
From Wisconsin, county superin-
| tendent writes: There seems to be no
improvement in our county yet. Busi-
ness Is at a standstill. A few schools
have changed from nine months to
eight months"
This part of wyoming has felt the
effects of the depression the last year
Up to that time it did not become a
serious matter. The teacher load has
been increased and elective courses in
small high schools will be more limited
And thus the story goes. 1t should
! be remembered that these reports are
| from rural schools, not city schools, and
that the farm communities generally
have had long, hard pull, even while
industrial communities were enjoying
| prosperity. 1t should be remembered
also that the salaries of rural teachers
have never been adequate to command
the services Of an adequate supply OF
well-trained teachers, and that in many
cases they are now being reduced to the
level of unskilled labor or even below
1t should not be overlooked that the
rural school curriculum, at its best toe
narrow and limited to meet the needs

factors that lead us to think We are
still on the downward grade. Salaries
have been in most cases reduced to
the minimum. Some of our schools are
increasing the teaching load, while at
the same time cutting out music, nome
economics, manual training and Smith,
Hughes teachers" Says another: we
are facing many difficulties. OF course,
but this is only a time for the demon
stration of leadership"
"One of the discouraging factors Is
that teachers warrants are being dis
counted 10 per cent now and the pos
sibility of their not being cashed at all
later on" says a report from Okla
homa. Also from Oklahoma: Salaries
have been cut from $8o-$9o-Sl00 to
$55-S65 and SIS"
The difficulty of cashing warrants Is
also mentioned in report from Ore
gon. This policy Of issuing paper in
stead of checks which can be cashed
is widespread throughout the country,
perhaps reaching its peak in Chicago,
where the city owes the teachers more
| than $20,000,000 Another Oregon re-
port shows only 13 out of SO school
districts on cash basis.
There are some signs OF hope in
the reports from Pennsylvania along
with many notes of encouragement.
One superintendent writes: IF prices
of farm produce do not take an up
ward trend I do not see how the farm
ers can pay their taxes and we may
have difficulty in keeping schools open. "
Another Pennsylvania county reports
that "for the first time in go years
the teachers institute has been discon-
tinued."
Salaries as Low as $35.
From South Dakota: Last year the
salaries of rural teachers ranged from
S65 to $115 a month. This year the
lowest salary is $35 and the highest
500 a month" From another South
Dakota county: Teachers here are
paid by registered warrants which run
from IL to 40 months. UP to a year
ago these warrants could be disposed
OF at a discount ranging from l to S
per cent Last year many teachers
those who did had to take a discount
of from 10 to 20 per cent"
"The boards have dropped fine arts,
music, singing" writes a superintendent
from Texas. TOO many people have
too much invested on paper and cannot
meet their obligations. Too many auto
mobiles not paid for" Also from Texas:
I'VE have an oil boom in this county
and are teaching $4,000 children on the
same budget that last year taught
1000"
"Our county is ore of the poorest in
the State" writes a Utah superintend-
ent. Yet we kept school last year until
within one week Of the contract period
without calling for donation teaching
The Board Of Education is looking
ahead with optimism and schedule
has been prepared which calls for full
term this year. The State equalization
fund has been a great help in Utah.
