ments to which they have been sub
ject, the public schools Of the United
States are on the upward trend.
This Is the conclusion reached by
the National Council Of State Super
intendents and Commissioners Of
Education after study Of question
naires returned from ~ Of the %
states in the Union.
Sharing in important phases Of the
Improvement Is North Dakota. a.
though handicaps here are moro pro-
,1ounced than In sections unaffected
by the drouth.
In presenting the questions. off,
cials were asked to state whether con-
ditions are far below, below, the same
as, above or far above the standards
OF last year and Of five years ago. In
general the situation Is improved as
compared with the school year OF
1sss-34 but below that prevailing In
192o-30.
In North Dakota, for example,
teachers salaries average higher than
last year ana this Is true Of - other
states. The qualifications Of teachers
in service have improved o lack Of
employment gave school boards wider
choice. They also are above the
standard Of five years ago.
The morale Of our teachers u better
IS is their general attitude toward
their work. Tho number employed,
however, Is somewhat less than last
year and this also Is true in seven
other states, although Il states re-
port an increase in teacher employ
ment.
The amount Of money expected
from state funds Is below last year
and money from local districts also
Is expected to be far below last years
level. As . result, there viii be far
greater need for federal assistance
than has been the case ct any time
in the past.
Only nine states received no federal
school aid = year ago and are asking
for none now. They are Maine, New
Hampshire. Vermont. Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island. Connecticut, Delaware,
Maryland and Wisconsin.
Illinois and Kentucky have less
need, Is have the same need, seven
greater need and II far greater need.
Only seven states have reduced the
length Of the school term and one has
increased it. Tho remainder retain
old standards. Compared with five
years ago. however, q states have
reduced term lengths.
Retrenchment is indicated In the
breadth and number OF courses Of
fered in 10 states but In II states the
standard has been raised. Total
enrolment continues to rise in most
states and the standard Of school
Libraries and equipment has been well
maintained in most states. 10 report
ing decreases and nine increases.
North Dakota Is listed among the 10.
The result Is . tribute both to the
people and tho teachers Of the state,
to our school management and to the
manner in which the federal govern
ment has come to the assistance Of
our school system. These answers
prove that our schools stu take first
rank In public importance and that
citizens generally viii make many
sacrifices In order to preserve their
standards.

its crew to have reached the record
breaking height Of 2O,600 meters (67.-

The balloon, known as the "Osoaviak-

At that position. the crew reported
the temperature outside was between
80 and 40 degrees below zero and be-
low inside.
The message, "All is well" was flashed
from the balloon only to be followed
with the additional word that visibility
was so poor the crew could not de-

Airplanes we're dispatched from the
Moscow Military Airdrome to help the

Under q stringent new regulation
adopted by the Commissioners today
hundreds Of restaurants. hotels and
lunch rooms now licensed to sell 80
per cent beer must remove their equip
ment for serving the beverage from the
rooms where food is served before they
can obtain licenses for sale of high
proof beer.
1t is understood the regulation was
adopted because of the Commissioners
understanding that President Roosevelt
was opposed to the return Of bars in
the National Capital Under regula-
tions previously adopted. establishment
of service bars in hotels. restaurants
and clubs was forbidden in any place
visible from the place where hard liquors
were to be served.
Regulation Is Quoted.
The new regulation reads:
mo beverage shall be drawn, In the
space in which beverages are sold or
served or in any place visible from such
space, from any keg, barrel or similar
container"
Corporation Counsel w. w. Bride
explained that the new rule would not

such permits may remain in force until

A long range glimpse into the admin

tends to do for at least million men,

economic eddy from which they cannot
hope to escape without governmental
aid. was given by Federal Relief Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins. at his
press conference yesterday.
Hopkins revealed the machinery has
been set up and definite recommenda-
tions are to be expected soon for Gov
ernment acquisition Of submarginal
land from which hundreds Of thousands
of farmers have been grubbing little
better than bare existence.
At the same time Hopkins revealed
the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation
has definite plans for inducing other
hundreds Of thousands to leave coal,

their present economic outlook is so
bleak as to leave them little hope Of
becoming other than permanent wards
of the Government. and making them

age the decentralization Of industry He
cited the shoe industry as one of the
examples Of the benefits to be gained
from decentralization of industry.
Asked whether this would have the
