FEDERAL AID FOR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS

Gathering in convention at Wash
ington last week, the National Edu-
cation Association adopted a resolu-
ton urging introduction of bill in
Congress which would ask for
grant of $500,0O0,000 for aid to
public schools.
It is time the attention of the
American people and their Govern
ment was called to the need of in
creased support for education. New
err have the schools been allowed to
feel depression so keenly as they
have felt that which began in 1929.
True, recovery plans have not entire
ly overlooked the impairment which
educational institutions have suffer
ed. Aid has been given to students
and to teachers whose schools were
closed. But the setback which edu-
cation received during the period of
national economic chaos has by no
means been offset.
A noteworthy commentary on the
conditions under which American
educators are working is found in
reports from the United States larg-
est and second largest cities. New
York's Mayor LaGuardia has ex-
pressed concern over the possibility
that the schools might not open in
September unless the State comes to
their aid at the present special ses-
sion of the Legislature. New York
faces a school deficit of $S,078,0OO.
Chicago school-teachers are about to
be paid out of congressional loan,
but the whole world knows of their
long distress and of the fact that
other city employees, apparently for
political reasons, received infinitely
better treatment than the patient
teachers.
Big-city conditions are simply
part of dark picture. In rural
communities schools have been clos
ed, and in many others the school
year has been drastically reduced,
while teachers wages have suffered
cut after cut.
The public has yet to hear what
specific purposes the 100000, 1000
congressional grant to public schools
would serve. Use of the funds no
doubt will be outlined in the near
future One thing is certain, how
ever. That is, more substantial fed
eral aid is due education than has
yet been given to 1.-THE Monitor

MARYLAND TAKES LEAD IN
CAMPAIGN TO CONTROL
BANGS DISEASE

The first test in an extensive cam
paign to control Bangs disease in
cattle was made at the farm Of Will
liam r. Nottingham, near Here
ford, Md; on July g. Provision for
work along this line was made by
the last Congress in an Act known
as the La Toilette amendment to the
Jones' Connally Act, which appro-
priated funds for eradication of tu-
berculosis and Bangs disease, as
we'll as for buying dairy and beef
products for relief purposes The
fact that Maryland took the lead in
Launching the campaign is due large
ly, it is said, to the efforts of Louis
Merryman, prominent dairyman of
Sparks, Md, who is associated with
the dairy work Of the Adjustment
Administration.
DR.. E. B. Simonds, who has had
charge of tuberculosis eradication
work in this state has been placed in
charge of the campaign against
Bangs disease. He was assisted in
launching the work by DR.. w. G.
Chrisman, chief field veterinarian
for the Maryland State Board of
Agriculture, and DR.. Charles Lock-
wood, veterinary inspector assigned
to Baltimore Mr.. Nottingham ON
whose farm the first test was made
is breeder of purebred Holsteins.
Officials of the Adjustment Admin
istration state that definite allot-
ment of funds to be used in this
campaign has not been made to the
several states, but provision is made
for paying indemnity for cattle
which react to the tests for disease,
as we'll as for covering the expense
of carrying on the campaign.
Authorities on livestock diseases
in Maryland state that Bangs di-
sease, commonly known as contag-
ious abortion, is exacting a heavy
toll from the dairy industry 1t is
estimated that in the neighborhood
of one-fourth of the dairy herds are
affected.

FEDERAL RELIEF OUTLAY

With the federal relief bill for the
past two years totaling in excess OF
$3.50, 100000 and another $1,165,-
600, 900 ready to meet the uncertain
months ahead, the administration is
looking about for some permanent
basis for relief. Federal Relief Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins says
the nations relief problem has come
to the point where it must be put on
such a basis through the stimulation
of industry and the establishment OF
unemployment insurance along the
lines of the British system, which OF
course is known the world over as
the dole.
Declaring that 100000 people
(more than 100000 families) are
on relief rolls today, the Admins
traitor said he is convinced that the
situation has to be handled in some
other way than on relief basis and
that millions of people on direct re-
lief isn't the American way of doing
things. Not only does he think
there should be unemployment in
surance when and if relief is put on
a permanent basis, but he believes
there would be no difficulty in insti-
tuting a system now. Every dollar
and cent that is administered as di-
rect relief must be repaid by the
taxpayers. And even taxpayers
pockets become empty with too fire.

NEUTRALIZING DISTURBANCE
VOLTAGES

A transformer for neutralizing
disturbance voltages as protection
to telephone lines which are being
interfered with by induction of pow
err wires is being developed by the
engineers of the Bell Telephone Lab
oratories. The apparatus will op-
crate under both normal and abnor-
NAL conditions.
The neutralizing transformer is
described by G. A. Brigham in the
Bell Laboratories Record This de-
vice, he says, is not intended to re-
duee inductive effects which appear
as noise in the lines but only funda-
mental frequency induction.
Telephone and power lines serv-
ing the same communities or indus
trial activities in many cases must
necessarily be constructed along the
same general routes. This requires
close cooperation between the two
companies to insure the proper in
ductive coordination of the two ser
vices.
Engineers of the power compan-
les are cooperating with the labora-
tories engineers with the idea of
minimizing such interference. When
telephone pole line parallels a
power line, each telephone wire has
approximately the same disturbing
voltage induced in it for the same
length Of exposure. All that is re-
quired for generalization is that
second voltage be induced in each
wire, equal to the first but opposite
in phase. The required neutraliz-
ing voltage is obtained by having the
transformer energized by an auxili-
ary wire located on the telephone
line. The auxiliary wire may be
either one of the regular telephone
wires if one is available or special
wire run for the purpose. This wire
is grounded at each end of the Sec
ton of exposure.
The neutralizing transformer has
one primary winding and a number
of secondary windings. The pri-
mary winding of the transformer is
connected in series with the auxiil-
airy wire. One secondary winding is
connected in series with each tele-
phone wire in the exposed section
and is poled so that the voltage it
produces is opposite in phase to the
voltaga induced by the power line.
Field tests have been made using
several Of these neutralizing trans
formers connected in the communi-
cation circuits with actual short
circuits to ground on the paralleling
power line. Very substantial reduc-
tion in induced voltages ON the tele-
phone lines were obtained with the
use of the neutralizing transformer
arrangement without adverse reac-
lions on the communication circuits
due to the transformers in the tele-
phone lines.
