HALF OF SCHOOLS
TO CLOSE unless
u. S. OFFERS HELP
Two-Thirds Districts in State
Have insufficient Funds, Says
Murphy

More than half the elementary and
high schools In North Dakota may
have to close this year. unless feder-
al aid is forthcoming. r. B. Murphy,
deputy superintendent of public in
struction warned Thursday.
At the same time. he disclosed that
approximately 5000 rural elementary
school teachers, and instructors In
other elementary and high schools
face payless months, unless aid is
given them.
At least two-thirds of the school
districts in the state have not suf-
ficient funds on hand with which to
meet the educational needs. Murphy
said.
More than $1,000, 900 will be needed
to meet the salary needs Of the teach
ers, many of whom received only three
months salaries last year, in cash,
with the remainder Of their incomes
represented in tax anticipation war
rants, he explained.
He pointed out that in many coun-
ties, no more tax anticipation war
rants can be issued, as they have al
ready reached the total equaling the
amount Of all taxes in the respective
districts. and cannot legally issue
more.
Although some counties have shown
an increase of cash on hand in school
district funds, these amounts have
been offset by prior liens against
them In the form Of certificates OF
Indebtedness issued in the past to
meet school emergencies.
Last year for the months Of March,
April and June, teachers received a
total Of $345. 272.43 in salaries paid
from FERA funds, records Of the de-
partment show.
Far greater" aid must be given this
year, Murphy said, for conditions are
much worse" In school districts.
l,073 school units, with 1893 elemen.
tary school teachers, instructing 3d.
254 pupils, received q total Of 1855, III.
This amount represented teachers
salaries, during March, April and
June, 1883.
Seventy first class consolidated and
high schools were aided by federal
funds. A total Of 800 teachers receiy-
ed their salaries for the same months
through federal funds-a total Of $780,
l28. Enrolled In these schools were
9.l83 pupils.
In addition to these amounts, ap-
proximately $4,000 was spent on .
"six-point program" by the FE2A, in
GLIDING adult education, nursery
schools. vocational rehabilitation, and
student work relief. The money was
spent ct the rate Of $500 per month
from December I. 1883, to June ] Of

received from the Oil Workers Inter
national union.
A final drive to stir enthusiasm Of
the workers will be made on Labor
Day in mass meetings in city squares
and other public places in every COM
munity in the strike area.
The strike became inevitable when
manufacturers flatly rejected a pro-
posal by the national labor relations
board for conference with union
leaders. From New York George A.
Sloan, head of the cotton textile insti-
tute. told Chairman Lloyd Garrison
Of the labor relations board that the
industry would not be threatened
into amending the code.
President Roosevelt is known to be
watching the situation closely, but
what he will do remains to be seen.
It appeared inevitable that the nation

believe that some new peace move will
seek to halt it quickly to save the
recovery program from severe shock.
The strike committee Of the United
Textile Workers said its formal order
would cripple factories from the Can
adam border to the deep south.

poets to decide Thursday whether to
call 100000 silk, rayon and wooden
workers out at the same time. II the
two-fold walkout takes place, they
estimate it will involve more than
100000 persons, counting workers

Bones Being Picked
By Strike Factions

Washington, Aug. 30.-(P-The
cotton textile argument in a nut
shell is this:
The union demands:
A siX-hour day; five-day week;
no cuts in present weekly wages;
uniform pay for all areas; a halt
on the "stretchout" an end to
discrimination" against unionists;
recognition of the union as the
bargaining agency. an arbitration
tribunal. The union says "reac-
tionary" employers have "flouted
the economic and humane" provi-
sions of MIRA.
The employers reply:
They have observed the law: the
NRA code has boosted labor costs;
any more wage boosts or shorten
ing of hours Is impossible to carry:
raw materials have jumped 100 per
cent: demand for cotton goods has
fallen off; the strike will put a
premium on force and violence as
instruments of law-making," In
amending the code.

University Professor Be- lieves It Is New
 Method

Austin. Tex (UP)-The royal road to learning" is in sight It will be by radio and television, in the opinion of Dr T. H. Shelby, di- rector of extension courses of the University of Texas.
 The university, richest in the world because of it's oil lands, al- ready is preparing to reach the far-flung borders of Texas over this road. Dr Shelby proposes es- tablishment of broadcasting sta ton at Austin adequate to cover the entire state effectively.
 With an adequate system under state control and a time assign ment from the federal government commensurate with it's importance, it will be possible to secure lib- eral education without the neces- sity of leaving home" said Dr Shelby.
 Thousands of people listen to piffle, who would be glad to tune in on worthwhile education pro- grams" he said. He verbally por- trayed a picture of comfort and educational enjoyment possible with radio and television as one sits in an easy chair at home. The radio and television, to- gether with the talking picture, will revolutionize teaching. The time will speedily come when edu- cation will be a continuing proc- ess and when neople will keep abreast of the times. There is no question of the value of visional- talking instruction"
