JOBS FOR MILLION TEACHERS
SEEN If MIRA PROVES
SUCCESSFUL.

More than million additional
teaching jobs will be available with
in the next few years if President
Roosevelt's national recovery pro-
gram is successful, according to Mr..
Clyde R. Miller, director of the Blu
reau Of Educational Service at
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity,
1.-THE success of the New Deal I"
Mr.. Miller declared, will undoubt-
eddy result eventually in a 3O-hour
week and an increasing amount of
leisure time for adults. Educators
plan to utilize this leisure by form
ing adult study, vocational and
hobby groups. To lead these we
shall need thousands Of highly
trained and qualified teachers.
Holding that the New Dear' wilN
eliminate child labor, Mr.. Miller
said that some secondary education
will be mandatory to keep these
children from delinquency.
This will mean a program of rec
reational training such as has never
been known except during the war"
he declared. "Our greatest need
will be for teachers of drsmatics,
athletics and the like, for these stu
dents will not be able to absorb the
traditional curriculum of Latin,
mathematics and the sciences. Our
aim will be to give them an educa-
ton that will make good characters
and good citizens.
''The greatly increased registra-
ton in the schools which will result
from the elimination of child labor
and the formation of adult vocation
al groups, should make job for
every trained individual. We must
not overlook the fact that we need
education as insurance to keep the
New Deal working"

FEDERAL AID SOUGHT IN PUB.
Lie SCHOOL CRISIS

The Federal Government will be
asked to appropriate money at the
earliest possible moment cor the aid
of schools in the present education
al crisis, according to an Announce
ment of the Joint Commission on the
Emergency in Education, appointed
by the National Education Associa-
ton and the Department of Super
intendendence. Following C e
upon the reports that more than
1000 rural schools had shut their
doors, and that the schools CT some
large cities will be forced to close
by March /, nationwide campaign
for emergency relief to pubic edu-
cation was launched at a conference
of educators in Washington at which
both the Joint Commission on the
Emergency in Education AID the
Legislative Commission of The Ma
tional Education Association were
represented.
Relief will be sought either thru
congressional or administrative ac-
ton. Participating in the effort to
prevent the complete collapse of the
American public schools, are forty
eight state education associations
with total membership of 100000
teachers and school officers.
Reports placed before the recent
Washington conference showed a
gradual decline in educational OPP
portunity throughout the entire ma
ton, and included accounts of pitt
full sacrifices of teachers and parents
to provide their children with even
a meager portion of their American
birthright of education. Teachers
were found copying texts IN long
hand in order that there might be a
sufficient supply of books for the
pupils to study. Many teachers
have taught months without any
kind of pay. A total of mere thar
4O,00O,0O0 is now owed to teach
ers by school districts which will be
able to provide only few more
weeks of schools this year for theil
children unless substantial assist
ance comes from the Federal Gov
eminent.
One out of every four teachers is
now being paid rate less tnan thai
established for factory hands under
the Blanket Code of the Federal AID
ministration. Children are being
herded into schoolrooms under con
ditions in which individual instruc
ton is impossible. The recent bar
on child labor by the New Deal has
freed many additional children who
expect a chance to continue theil
schooling, and in many states are re.
CURED by law to do SO. twenty-five
thousand teachers have been drop
ped from the schools, while mil
lion more pupils have come into
them. asI8

PING ROOSEVELT

Washington, Jan. 2-Represen-
tative Goldsborough Cd. Md for
several years a leader in monetary
discussions in the House, replied
today to the letter of John Maynard
Keynes, British economist to Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the adninistra-
TONS monetary policy.
"Mr. Keynes characterized the
presidents gold buying policy as
being disturbing factor IN the
foreign exchange, but did not ex-
plain why he had never questioned
the wisdom of his own country in
doing the same thing" Goldsbor-
ough said in a statement.
England through her eaualiza-
ton fund. began lowering the value
Of the pound sterling in terms Of
gold in September, 1881, and great
ly helped her export trade. When
President Roosevelt does the same
thing to boost our exports and raise
the price of basic commodities, he
is criticized.

gifts is as true today as in Homer's
time. Cicero said, 1T is your
boundless audacity. o, Catalsne! !"

McSPARRAN FAVORs INTER
STATE REFORM

Reorganization of the Interstate
Milk Producers Association was
urged at West Chester, on Satur-
day, by John A. McSparran, State
Secretary of Agriculture.
"It should be made a more demo-
cratic institution" McSparran said.
He addressed a mass meeting OF
200 dairymen at State Teachers
College.
after all, the 10000 OF more
members of Interstate are greatly
interested in it. The organization
should be changed from stock con-
Germ to membership concern.
There have been many COM
plants against the stock basis of
voting and against the use Of prox-
les in the election of officers.
II don't say that proxies have
been illegitimately used, bui there
is cog in there that could be taken
out. The member farmers could
more completely take charge"
The speaker praised the Inter
state as lone of the soundest CO.
operatives in existence"

clared. IF cooperative can step

MOTOR VEHICLE TAXES

To lay down broad basis for the
adjustment of highway taxes on a
rational plan, the Federal Bureau
of Public Roads studied the high
way finances of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, and Illinois for the calendar
year 1880, the latest year for which
full records were available, 10 deter
mine the highway taxes pail from
different sources and by different
groups of citizens, based on local
administrative units and the high
way service furnished.
1t was found that rural property
in these States paid no tax Tor ur-
Dan streets, but part of the tax on
urban property was expended on
local township roads.
Rural motor-vehicle owners in
Wisconsin paid 1873 per cent of the
Total motor-vehicle imposts expend-
ed on all classes of roads ana streets
and travel by these same rural mot
or-vehicle owners made up 51.9 per
cent of the total travel on all classes
Of roads and streets. City and viii

per cent of the taxes and did 6S.l

STATEMENT BY CLARK M.
EICHELBERGER

Inc entire speech or President
Roosevelt at the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation Dinner was an import
ant declaration Of American foreign
policy, and that part which partic-
ularly referred to the League of
Nations is declaration of faith on
the part of the American Govern
ment in the League of Nations as
the central part of the worlds
peace machinery. The Presidents
reference to the League as cncoura-
ging disarmament and pacts of nom
aggression, as the meeting place of
which the world has CROPPED for
ward from the policy of entangling
alliances, indicates that the League
is regarded by the American people
as the very basis of new deal in
ternationally.
The statement of the President,
given with decided emphasis that
the United States was cooperating
openly" with the League Of Ma
tions, is welcome relief to those of
us who have been embarrassed by a
policy of furtive back door cooper
alton. Certain dictators abroad
who would destroy the democracy of
the League for their own selfish
ends now know that in every step
the League undertakes for human
betterment, for the consolidation of
peace and for the welfare of the re-
spective peoples concerned, the
American Government vii. give
open, definite and official collabora-
ton.
The officers of the League of Ma
lions Association were particularly
impressed with the Presidents
statement that on question of
world peace the peoples of the world
were ahead of their leaders. The
League of Nations Association has
always maintained that in their at
tlCuuc IOWdAA Am0l4CdH pdl IlClHd-
lion in the League of Nations, the
American people were ahead of
their political leaders who had been
afraid to have the Government par
licipate in the Leagues activities.
The League of Nations Association
is at this moment engaged in cam
paign that will indicate to the Pres
dent the tremendous support which
his policy of cooperation with the
League of Nations receives from
the American people.
With the leadership whiah the
President has given, it Is not too
much for the American people to
urge that the open cooperation with
The League from now on go to the
extent of participating officially in
the deliberative bodies of the
League. The President has laid the
political ghosts which have confused
the American people in their atti-
Jude toward the League. and has
announced an open policy CT coop
Grafton which the country will al
most unanimously support. ire
spective Of political considerations.
The League of Nations should
aever have become political issue.
1t should have remained the great
est social movement of our day.
Once its political implications are
removed and the sentiment of the
American people becomes articulate
in support of the Presidents state
ment, we may stand as n%tion in
full accord with its express purpose
ii. e. world cooperation for the as
surance of peace without a single
surrender Of an American principle
