THE WHITE HOUSE. WASH
lNGTON, D. c., SEPT. l8, 1876
II IS a pleasure to me again to salute
the press of the United States on
the occasion of National Newspaper
Week. The newspapers of the ma
ton did a magnificent job during
the war. They threw their full
support behind the campaign to sal
wage and collect needed war mater
ials. They were in the forefront
OF every drive for the sale of war
bonds and stamps They reported
the war admirably, operating under
voluntary code of censorship. Thev
strengthened the spirit of the people
at home and the morale of the fight
ing forces abroad. In the words
OF your slogan our press is THE
OF overwhelmingly
OF LIBERTY"
Upon it now rests a tremendous
share of the responsibility for SOL
wing the problems of peace. 1 know
well that this responsibility will be
net in full.

Increase Libby
Population

Just how large is Libby? In other
words, how many people at the
present time comprise the popula-
ton OF this growing community?
That is a question that MANY
people are asking themselves these
days. 1t is plainly evident to everv-
one that Libby is making a steady
ana substantial growth. But in the
absence OF an accurate census, the
only alternative is to guess or es-
innate the number by the use of
one or more generally accepted
methods.
In attempting to arrive at some
OASIS for a reasonably reliable esti-
mate of the city's present popula-
ton, the question was put to E. J.
Drlear, local manager of the Noun
tam States Power company. Popu-
Iatlon figures are sometimes arrived
at by using the number of electric
power consumers. Using that method
IN this instance, the Western News
reporter obtained from Mr.. Driear
the statement that there are 7O7
customers of the light and power
company within Libby and its ad
Jacent territory. This number does
not include any of the company's
rural customers. Using the 707
number as basis, what is the prob
able figure to be obtained. In for
mer years, it was common. practice
TO multiply such number by five.
using a 5-to-1 ratio That would {
give a present Libby population of {
$3.50. In recent years, with the size r
Of families growing smaller, 4-to-f +
ratio IS sometimes considered more I
accurate. At that basis, Libby would +
have a population of 1928. {
Using school population as another c
basis for such figuring, we find that v
here are TAO pupils enrolled in the e
Libby schools. At the 5-to-l ratio. G.
here would be a population figure 7
If 1900. At the 4-to-1 ration. a H
population of 1860. q
Everyone comedies that Libby has oil
made a substantial growth during Sc
ne past few years. Outlying sec rs
ions are being filled with new lii
omes, many new houses are being II
unit In the city and there would be al
1ore If building materials were va
lore available. Despite all this
ctlvlty, there still remains a heavy to
emand for houses, a demand that m
IS difficult to satisfy under pres H,
Mt conditions. io
1t was suggested to the writer Ii
uring the past week that this WI
lestion as to Libby's population tn
'uld be nicely and accurately an Pc
vered by enlisting high school Pr
udents in the lob of taking the &c
'unt The district could be divided INF
to districts and teams of students gal
signed to take the count of each an

uld be done in a comparatively
ort time and this question that bel

time could thereby be answered no

to KaliSpell Monday to attend q
meeting, the State Regional M. E.
A. conference conducted by M. P.

the NJ E. A.
Mr.. Moe spoke upon the deplor-
able teacher situation of the state,
stating about 400 schools would be
closed this year due to lack of
teachers. Last year Montana had
approximately $500 teachers, this
year there are less than 1900 teach
erS. He also outlined the contem-
plated legislative program for
school financial aid to relieve the
teacher situation. Out of the 1900
teachers there are only about 1000
fully qualified to teach This situa-
ton Is becoming critical. Only is
per cent of all the teachers in Mon
tana today are married women.
The legislative committee is try
ing to work out a program to stimu-

teaching profession by giving them
an adequate salary. The average
truck driver in the United States
makes $1,000 a week, where the
average school teacher makes $500
a week.
1t is the responsibility of every
community to boost a
decent salary schedule for the
