baker Tells Nation.

Americas one-room rural school
house is disappearing at the rate Of
seven or eight a day, it was an
nounced yesterday, as a result of the
P W. A. program of building larger
and better schools throughout the
country.
Despite this encouraging sign, DR..
John w. Studebaker, commissioner
Of education. deplored the fact there
still are $4,000 one-room school
houses in districts too poor or un-
willing to take advantage of Govern
ment loans and grants.
This school year. opening now for
100000 children and adults, pre-
sents challenge to educators, DR..
Studebaker said, to face the issues
Of the day in the class room and in
the community. One in every four
persons throughout the Nation. it
was estimated, is enrolled this year
in the educational system.
100000 Drop Out.
Yet, with all the signs of national
recovery from the depression that
depleted school enrollments, the
Office of Education points out there
will be another drop in the number
of elementary school pupils this year.
Since 1880 there has been a decrease
of 100000 pupils in the elementary
grades, significant guage in edu-
cational conditions
A staff of 100000 public and pri-
vate school teachers instructs Amer
icas school population. The ratio
is one man teacher to every five
women teachers. Teacher salaries
while very low in many communities
are quite generally back to pre-de-
preston levels. The latest figures on
file cite an average salary of s1,735
for city teachers, against s787 per
year for rural teachers. But in con-
nection with the one-room schools
which still blight so many communi-
ties, the teachers of these schools re-
ceiye an average salary of only S517
year.

Plan Proposed at
Meet to Avert |. Y.
Labor Shortages

Con, ;nued from Page y
tices to employees.
2. Agricultural employers pledge
all their resources to protect every
agricultural worker in his right to
work, and insist that all law en-
forcing agencies cooperate to the
end that adequate and impartial
protection of all persons and prop
erty be maintained at all times.
3. We strongly condemn any pol
icy of intimidation or coercion on
the part of employers, employees, or
racketeers.
4. Appropriate steps be taken
through legislation, or in other
proper ways, to bring about re-
sponsibility on the part of labor
o, ,ganizations corresponding with
that imposed upon employers.
5. Because of the perishable ma
ture of agricultural products and
because of the many uncomfortable
factors and elements in producing
and marketing such products which
might cause ruinouS losses to pro-
ducerS, farm laborers, and con-
sumers, agriculture, while not op-
posed to collective bargaining, must
be kept free from the effects of
the imposition of the hiring hall
and the CLOSED shop"
6. We believe that every agri-
cultural worker is entitled to the
protection OF the housing and sani-
tary requirements of the state law
administered by the division of
immigration and housing. Where
crops or combination of crops JUS
tify it, We believe that these facili-
ties should be provided by owners
on their own farms. We believe
that where shifting crops, expert
mental crops or combination of
crops do not justify construction
by farmers, community camps under
local administration and control
should be established, either thru
farm cooperatiyes, camp districts
or other agencies. Such community
camps are also advocated in areas
where migrants gather between
crops. The influx of migrant labor
ers from distress areas is a nation
al esponsibility which should not
be imposed upon agriculture as an
additional burden.
T. Agriculture recognizes the need
for continuous farm labor employ
ment and RECOMMENDS that known
practices TO attain this result i'm
mediately be instituted by indivi-
dual farmers and that program of
study be undertaken by farmers and
official agencies.
8. We favor the establishment
and maintenance of agencies which
effectively determine and coordi-
nate labor requirements and pro-
vide for distribution of workers
as between crops and sections of
| the state.
8. We advocate that farm labor
ers be paid a maximum wage con-
sistent with the farmers ability
TO pay.
10. We endorse the present sys-
TEN OF education of children of
migratory workers and urge its ex-
tension where needs are not ade-
quately met.
II. That agricultural employers,
in the exercise of their responsible
ity OF leadership, freely avail them
selves of every opportunity to edu.
cate the people as to the value of
the American governmental and
economic system and the general
welfare.

cllned S22,377,272 compared to a
similar period last year.
Alfred P. Sloan, jr, chairman
OF the board, ascribed the loss to
the inability of union leadership
TO control their own followers" He
said a trend toward rapidly in
creaSing costs must of necessity
reflect itself in the form of a
substantial increase in selling
prices"
Sloan listed net income for the
period at S65, ,731 loo compared to
S88, 108,372 for the same period of
1896. Net sales rose 7.35 per cent
to S50O,412,84 compared to $780,
114,437.
He said the decline was due to
higher costs incurred without cor
responding increases in selling
prices and without the ability to
offset such higher prices with a
proportionate increase in volume
OF sales.
He critic zed unauthorized
strikes" which occurred after the
company signed an agreement with
the CIO on February II. During
the period, he said, trere were only
10 working days on which there
were no Interruptions of some form
or other
