A movement to seek Federal in- tervention In handling the milk problem which George H. Robert son president of the Farmare Ma tional Association. announced would be started this week gained little momentum Monday.
 Members of the Bloomfield local of the Farmers National Associa- ton, holding their annual meeting, voted informally Monday night against asking Federal interven- tion. They voted after Irving F. Campbell of Holland, association leader who was present by invi- tation. urged the Bloomfield or ganization not to be too nasty in making a decision inasmuch as Representative Herman P. Kopple- mann is conducting an investiga- ton at Washington, He said into alleged excess profits made by many large milk dealers.
 From Waterbury it was reported Morton E. Pierpont, president of hte Milk Producer Dealers Associ- ation, as opposed to any move for Federal intervention. So far as he could speak for the association he said, i've not only do not want Federal control or intervention but we want to keep as far away from it as possible"

The Crisis In Our Schools


about 2O,O00 rural schools will be closed, affecting more than a mill lion children.
 Meanwhile, America, which for years has looked on her public school system as her choicest jew el. is watching other nations forge ahead nile her own schools slide backward. Solicitude of Russia for training and welfare of chil- dren, while it is partly a political measure, still shows the newest great country forging nightly ahead in popular education.
 Reports to the office of Educa- ton here from Mexico, which we tolerantly regard as backward, show renewed activity and plans for more rapid development AUSTRALIA STANDS FAST
 Australia reports Standards of instruction and attendance are be- ing maintained" From darkest Africa" comes this word: Though we have been hit by the depres- sion just as much as the United States" reports l.. G. Malherbe, director of education there, i've have to a large extent spared our educational system the shock of the blow"
 Teachers salaries in the Trans vaal, where no schools have been $500 a year.
 The highest average the United l States ever reached was around l$1,4OO, and while the present aver age is not known, clue is given by those thousands of $400 sal aries.
 The schools were the last to feel ! the depression. Commissioner of | Education Zook estimates that. even with returning prosperity, it will be two years before such pros perity will be reflected in the l schools.
 "Such a highly complex civili- l zation as we have built requires highly trained and intelligences | for maintenance and further devel- opment," points out Secretary of l the Interior Harold l.. Ickes. "No survive, to say nothing of prog l TeSS, uIlcSS COIupOScO OL d WOll- educated citizenry."
 DEMOCRACY ON TRIAL Commissioner Took feels that no less than democracy itself is on trial to-day.
 "The only reason we have been able to succeed as democracy is because the public has been well informed and educated. We will reap the same harvest as have other countries in which democra- cy died, if we let fall the level o1 education and intelligence, as we
 are in danger of doing to-day
 says pr Zook.
 That is why an official like Sec
 retary Ickes, sitting in the yer!
 midst of the hurly-burly of thu
 New Deal, can say:
 "Even in these. days of tremen
 dousIy pressing problems, to m!
 mind the most important of all is
 What are we going to do about oul
 schools?"
 NEXT: How low has education
 fallen in the land which used tt
 boast of its system of public edu. cation as the finest in the world?

BUS SERVICE NOT
 EQUAL TO DEMAND
Waterbury Is Doing Much Better in This Respect
 Than Hartford ....


 Waterbury is not the only place where fault Is being found about crowding in busses. A writer in the Hartford Courant states that the best he has been able to do Is get seat twice in two years. He calls attention to the law which allows for from eleven to fourteen "standees", but frequently he finds himself one of from twenty to thirty-five standing. This is bad enough. but what gets on the nerves of the Hartford man is to see busses passing by six or seven people these cold days. because they have no room for them.
 Things have not been as bad as that in Waterbury, but if one cared to complain, he could cite many cases where there was crowding and folks had to sand around and shiver. But the company is doing much better the past few weeks. Usually two busses come along where before there was only one. and as 8 result the service is very much improved.
 Many new houses are being built in Germany.

 MT. Campbell at the Bloomfield meeting asserted that the farmers are right back where they were last March when they attacked the pooling system, except that they now have price setting.
 MT. Robertson, Farmers Ma tionaI president, said that while many farmers desire to solve their own problem, others believe 1t 1m- possible unless the government steps in.
 Dwight B. Wadhams, president of the Bloomfield local, said that the only hope of the producer was a statewide organization that would handle all the milk and take care of all surplus. MT. Wadhams was reelected l president after several futile at- tempts to have someone else as- sume the office for the coming year.

 HALF WILL CLOSE T..
 The near approach of the crisis is shown by a survey just com pleted in Alabama, showing that half the white rural and city schools of the entire state will close February 1-only half a school year for 1893.
 That would mean 147,926 chill dren in rural and 21,161 in city schools turned out, and 4,224 more teachers out of jobs.
 Two hundred schools in Alabama already are closed, and 1890 are scheduled to close before Febru- ary l. Teachers pay generally has fallen to degradingly low levels, even when they get the pay. But Chicago, for instance, still owes its teachers $28,00O,000, and the country owes teachers $4O,0O0,OOO for services rendered, but not paid | for.
 No one can calculate the loss in pay to teachers paid with tax war rants or scrip which they had to spend at discount sometimes as high as 40 per cent.
 THOUSANDS ARE AFFECTED Despite the fact that high schoo enrollments have risen 1,000,00( since 1880, the number of em- ployed teachers in the country has been reduced by 50,00O, and the building of new school buildings has dropped off 80 per cent since 1880. ...-
