PAY CRISIS FACED
BY OHIO SCHOOLS
10000 Teachers Still Lack
Wages as Creditors Call
for Money.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 23.-
Financially embarrassed Ohio schools
were described by the State Education
Association today as operating on
good faith" with 10000 teachers
unpaid to date and So per cent of
all school districts operating with
deficits.
One official termed the situation
''pessimistic. 1t is worse, he said, in
non-State aid school districts than in
those given financial assistance by the
State
''All the schools" he said, ARE op-
Grating on good faith-how much
faith We don't know"
Conditions Tighten Up.
I'VE do know however, that credi-
tors of teachers have reached the
point where they are commencing to
tighten up. Even the landlady frowns
teacher finally is struggled, it can
mean but one thing-the closing of
schools"
The State Department of Education
has list of school districts in which
past-due bills, both for salaries and
operating expenses, approximate So
100000
The Education Association, however,
asserted 1.-The debt piles up so fast that
no amount of statistics presents the
true picture. Before we can compile
them for a single week, the deficit of
the 1ext week or month makes them
inaccurate" This despite widespread
curcailment of activities, economies
and salary cuts throughout the State.
Tax Tangle Blamed.
It blamed most of the difficulty on
delinquent taxes and revision of the
tax duplicate. Finance Director How
ard L. Bevis, however, said large part
of the deficit in State-aid districts has
accumulated from the time of Adam"
due to the extravaganza of the local
school boards" He is willing, he said,
to pay back salaries
The average" Ohio school district
was described by the Education De-
partment as one in which since Sep
tember teachers have received salaries
for weeks and thanks for the other
10. 1t said the situation does not ap-
ply to the large cities, for which only
scattering and incomplete reports are
available.
