the public schools should be the
community center where activities
involving the entire community's in
terests can be carried on.
3. Change sin Curriculum-the
postwar period will require radi-
cal curriculum changes. These will
involve added expense. The COM
munity cannot afford to fail to meet
these postwar demands.
4. Schools Combat Delinquency
lighted school houses mean less de-
linquency in the community.
5. Support Needs of the Future
the Dayton schools have a fine record
Of accomplishment and every indi-
vidual citizen should take additional
pride in not only preserving this fine
record but in supporting the schools
that they may expand to meet the
greater needs Of the future.
Let's get behind this worthy cause
and see to it that every voter we
know places his X on his ballot FOR
the 21s mill School Levy.
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1944-10-19

The total amount paid school en-
ployees is more than 83 per cent of
all school operating costs. The sal
aries of teachers is more than II per
cent Of all expenditures for ordi-
nary operating purposes. These
costs cannot be reduced, in the face
of present living costs. In fact, they
must be increased in order to keep
teachers from taking other jobs at
higher pay.
c. All school supplies cost more
coal, materials for maintenance and
for operation, etc.
POSTWAR NEEDS
/. Education for Returning Vet
Observation-Disclosures will return
many war veterans who must be
provided with additional vocational
training to enable them to take
their places in industry. This will
require an expanded Trade Exten-
sion Program in both day and night
classes.

in elementary grades. The number
of children in the lower grades will
increase at least one-fourth during
the next five years.
b. Total costs for salaries and
wages will increase because the
large increase in number of pupils
will require a larger teaching staff
and also because the salary and
wage schedules of the schools will
provide somewhat higher rates of
pay during the next few years.

in a community such as ours unless
we provide sufficient funds. A Cit
izens' Committee especially appoint
ed to study the financial structure
of our school system, after careful
survey, tell us that we will not be
supplying sufficient funds unless
the 21a mill school levy is passed in
the coming election.
Here are some of the reasons why
we should vote FOR the school levy:
BECAUSE ;.
1. There is renewal of the pres
ent extra levy voted in 1910, which
authorized 212 mills for 1941, 1912
and 1943 and 2 mills for 1914 and
1945.
2. The increase from the present
levy of 2 mills to the proposed 212
mills will not increase the total
school tax levy. The decrease in
debt charges will more than offset
the half mill increase for operation
and maintenance.
8. Failure to continue the present
voted levy would reduce the school
income for operation by nearly one
fifth. The loss of this income would
force a drastic shortening of the
school term and the curtailment or
elimination of important school ac-
tivities.
4. The thorough study of the
Dayton School made by the Public
Advisory Committee in 1899 and
1910 pointed out the inadequacy of
taxes under the 10 mill limitation
and recommended a program of
voted extra levies to put the school
system on sound financial basis.
The proposed tax levy is in ac-
cordance wit hthat recommendation
5. The School Board has wisely
been setting aside the money in
tended Tor scnoo lrepalrs but which
could not be spent because of labor
and material shortages. A minimum
of 100000 more than the amount
on hand is needed to make these de-
layed repairs. 1t is not good business
to let the school plants get into a
dun-down condition.
6. The proposed levy if " mill
higher than the levy which is now in
effect (but which expires with the
1945 tax collection) because the
schools face certain inescapable
higher expenses.
These are:
a. The schools must be prepared
for a large increase in enrolment

Veteran Rehabilitation
New York Times

New York Times
That something must be done to restore wounded
and sick veterans of this war all agree. But what?
We have the Convaescent Training program of the
Army Air Force the studies which have been under
taken by the National Research Councils Committee
on Convalescence and Rehabilitation and various pro-
posals of Government and private agencies. But we
have no system plan. Moreover experience at the
front is not directly applicable, inasmuch as the
Army is primarily concerned with returning disabled
man to his regiment All this being the New York
Academy of Medicine has conducted symposium,
in the course of which about forty authorities gave
their views What we have is useful survey which
enables us to focus attention on the medical and
social problem presented by the disabled veteran.
Convalescence seems to present more formidable
difficulties than training the handicapped Tor an
occupation 1t not that physicians are inexperienced
but that they are called upon to deal with I'M
familiar complications At present time, which does
more than any anodyne, must be the chief reliance,
and time is the same rest. The men who will need
care are all young-much younger than the average
patient They have been touched by unfamiliar,
tropical diseases and they have sustained injuries
rarely encountered in civil life Hence the difficulties
The addresses delivered before the Acdamey did much
to clarity these but the authorities were agreed that
though certain principles applicable to con-
vaescent soldiers as to civilians, need research to
give approach.
Training the soldier for job in civilian life is
easier We have experts enough in this field Judging
from the declarations of corporation presidents in
dustry is willing to do its share For some years 1t
will probably need all the workers it recruit to
fill an enormous demand for goods that have not
been made since Pearl Harbor. Lastly, there is the
general conviction that the disabled and discharged
veteran should be given preference when peace re-
turns Good as the prospects are, there is clearly
work to do both for the physicians and for the
trainers and the Academy deserves praise for ndicat
ing the nature of that work.

June IL will mark the opening date OF the Flfth
War Loan Drive. In the last campaign Alaska lea
the nation and there is no reason why we shouldn't
be able to do it again.
Before each such campaign there always a
few who cluck to themselves the quota and shake
their heads about the chances of making it However
the quota is usually surpassed.
Fact is the alarums and howls about sacrifices
on the home front have been distracting but the
amount of actual deprivation has not been great as
far as we have been able to determine
In Alaska the only real sacrifices we have noted
have been among the native population which has
come up with an excellent record in every campaign
where the purchase of war bonds and stamps has
meant actual sacrifice
AS far as other Alaskans concerned, the
purchase of war bonds is considered as an invest
ment and that's all right, too
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1944-05-29

When the conflict ends and the bonds mature,
Alaskans will consider themselves fortunate in having
the good Sense to lay away so much OF their wartime
incomes in bonds The money won't come as easy
in the transition period between war and peace and
the nest eggs or bonds will help great deal
Many who making good money now may be
unemployed for time during this transition period,
and those who will be able to cash in war bonds
NAV find that this will make them independent
of the dole.
Business men who plan to expand their concerns,
or remodel after the when labor is available and
materials will also have money with which to pay
the bills if they have been investing in bonds.

FIRST NEGRO CONGRESS-
Etgfz WOMAN?

New York Democrats, in the past
accustomed to electing Demo-
cratic Congressman from Harlem,
largest Negro community in the
world, now admit privately that
Harlem probably will elect a Re-
publican this year.
Furthermore, the Republicans will
probably send the first. Negro Con-
gresswoman in history to Washing
ton. She is Mrs. Sarah Pelham
Speaks, recently nominated on the
COP ticket to run from New York's
new Goth district.
Opposing Mrs. Speaks will be
flamboyant Adam Clayton Powell,
Negro clergyman, newspaper pub
Usher and left-wing member OF the
New York City Council.
Mrs. Speaks comes from one of
Harlem's prominent families. Her
husband is a doctor who formerly
played with a jazz orchestra She
herself is one of the most success
full criminal lawyers in Harlem.
Meanwhile, Herbert Bruce, Negro
leader of Tammany Hall, has re-
fused to support Mrs. Speaks OPP
potent, Adam Powell. This, to-
gether with the zeal of Negro wo-
men to elect one of their own sex
to Congress, probably means GER
tain Republican victory.
