ing to have to go to the bank and
borrow money to go away to school
to keep abreast of the latest devel-
opments in elephant education.
Therefore he isn't going to have to
worry all winter with the problem
of paying the money back.
Our childrens' teachers are not in
the same happy position. At the
end of long, nerve-racking day, he
or she goes home to exc out what
ever family life is possible between
dinner and an evening of grading pa

ing meetings.
In cogent editorial last week,
The Baltimore Sun pointed out that
a very quiet but deadly strike is
going on in the teaching profession.
It is being accomplished without or
ganization, pickets, or fuss. Teachers
are simply leaving the profession
for more lucrative fields. The war
brought home to them the fact that
they don't have to sit all day in
stuffy, over crowded classrooms,
working heir hearts out for our chill
dren for nothing. They now know
that they are needed in a dozen diff
ferent fields where salaries are COM
mensurate with their training, cap
abilities and efforts. That's where
they're going, and good luck to
them is what say.
1t is up to us to decide what we
want for our children, and whether
or not we can face our own con-
sciences in peace as long as we ask
other human beings to do the most
vitality important task that we re-
quire of anyone, at a wage that is
bitter disgrace.
There is no point in complaining
about our school system when the
fact of the matter is that we are
getting much more than we deserve.
Would we, the taxpayers, who are
completely responsible for this sit
uation, work for less than $4,000.

the wash rooms, and that are, for
the most part, fire-traps, dangerous
ly over-crowded. Don't be silly!
And don't let another figure men
toned in the article fool you. I
refer to the statement, frequently
quoted, that Maryland is the sew
enth highest state in the nation in
average teachers salaries" That's
a fooler. The reason we occupy that
dizzy eminence is this: We lose our
young, well-qualif1ed teachers with
lightning rapidity to systems that
really have something to offer. Re-
suit, the remaining majority are
older teachers who have moved into
the highest brackets. And that's how
your figure is arrived at. Not so
when you know the facts,
is it?
So Wage Averages For Local
Schools are High" are they? Shame
on us and shame, by the same token,
on the whole State of Maryland.

Book Review At The
Library On Tuesday

William Handy To Review Mel

House."
At the third of the spring series
of book reviews at the Washington
County Free Library, on Tuesday
evening, March 10, William Handy,
who recently was featured in all
article in McCall's magazine, based
on Mr. Hamby's remodelling of his
own home in Hagerstown, will re-
view 'Tomorrow's House." by Nell
son and Wright.
The review should be of particu-
lar interest right now, since public
attention is centered on the hous-
ing shortage.
Tomorrow's House, which is pro-
fusely illustrated, discusses the plan
ming of a new home, as well as the
remodelling of an old one to conform
to modern ideas of living, and
touches on the various phases of
building and renodelling as related
to new methods of building, new
equipment and new appliances. One
chapter, oddly enough, is titled
bathrooms are out of date"

public school-and what revelation
those facts were.
The articles stated that Washing
ton County stands third among the
counties in the state Exclusive, of
course, of Baltimore City, in aver
age pay for both elementary and
high school teachers. But it was
the third paragraph that really got
down to facts-and you may read
them and weep:
The average salary for elementary
teachers for the year 1944-45 was
1881 and for high school teachers,
$3.50. How do you like that?
Consider those salaries, minus at
least fifteen per cent Withholding
tax. teachers retirement fund, thir-
ty-three per cent increase in the cost
of living over the past few years
(and there's no prospect of a de-
crease at this point, food, clothing,
summer school, and the little ex-
igencies of living, such as doctor
bills, property taxes, entertainment
and, since most people have teeth,
dental bills
Consider, also, the years of prepar-
alton (and the cost thereby that
go into obtaining the Bachelor of
Arts degree, required by the state
for all teachers.
Consider all these things and then
decide whether or not you would
enter the teaching profession in the
State of Maryland. I don't think
you woodland what is more I'M
portant, an awful lot of top-notch
people who would make the best
possible teachers for your children,
are coming to the same conclusion.
Perhaps they would like to teach
and if there's anything in the world
the schools need, it's people who
really like to teach - but they're
learning that in Maryland they can't
afford to be teachers,
Rearns have been written in the
past year or so about low wages in
the teaching profession. Teachers
salaries have been compared with
the emoluments of every type of
work, or labor, from street sweeping,
up and down the line. 1t seems that
we are willing to pay more for al
most anything than for the most
important thing we ask of anyone
the education of our children.
Along with a prominent local
schoolman, I feel that these COM
parsons are often beside the point.
However, let us take the case of
the man who feeds the elephant in
the ZOO. His salary is paid by the
taxpayer, just as teachers salaries
are. Since his salary is more than
that of the man who teaches our
children history in Hagerstown High
School, it would seem that in his
community the public is more in
terested in the elephants proper care
than we are in having the best that
can be obtained for our children.
Of course, the man who feeds the
elephant doesn't need much prepar-
alton for his job. You don't have
to have degree to carry hay to
an elephant But we expect our
teachers to carry learning, apprecia-
ton, mental stimulus and guidance
to our children, to be able to deal
amiably and justly with behavior
problems, and also be an inspiration
AN assignment, my friends, which,
to drop into the vernacular, isn't

Moreover, the man who feeds the
elephant goes home at the end of
his working day. He's all through
until tomorrow He doesn't have
to grade the elephants papers, pre-
pare an examination for the ele-

Another Iron Curtain

Seventeen visitors to the
United States from Slavic coun-
tries, including II citizens of va
rious Soviet republics, have been
notified by the Department of
Justice that they must register
as agents of a foreign principal.
When it became clear that the
Department of Justice was de-
termined to press the case, with
the tacit approval of the State
Department, the visitors can
celled all further public appear
ances and requested a return to
their homes.
The repercussions of this af-
fair may prove quite serious and
serve to prejudice future cultur-
al exchanges between Slavic
countries and the United States.
Among the individuals involved
are two opera singers, a poet,
professor of law, a journalist and
& playwright, for whom number
of appearances before American
audiences had been arranged.
Although the Department of
Justice insists that there is no
invidious intent in the registra-
tion act, the fact is that few for
eign visitors will wish to come
to the United States if they
must appear as agents of a for
eign principal.
At this point when every pos
sible friendly and international
interchange between the United
States and particularly the So
Wet Union in a steadily-increas-
ing two-way traffic is so greatly
needed, the application of this
act to individuals whose main
mission was in the cultural field
may we'll prove disastrous:
It will stifle all those cultural
contacts which can do so much
to interpret the common inter-
ests as we'll as the differences Of
peoples who must live together

u. 5. High CoutRu|ing
Seen Giving Maryland
NewRiver Jurisdiction.
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 16.-By deny
ing the appeal of man convicted
of criminal assault, the Supreme
Court of the United States may
have cleared the way toward the
solving of one of Maryland's knot
tiest conservation problems-how
to enforce the fishing lays on the
Potomac.
Maryland Attorney General Will
liam Curran said last night that by
inference" certain clauses of the
compact of 1875 between Virginia
and Maryland now are void because
of the Supreme Court ruling, and
the Free State has a basis for prose-
cutting Potomac River oyster raiders
whether they are Virginians or not.
Heretofore, Maryland conserva-
ton authorities had been forced to
turn violators over to Virginia for
prosecution if they were residents
of that State |
The Supreme Court denied the
appeal of Jack Lester Barnes, COL
ored, who was convicted of criminal
assault involving a 53-year-old white
woman on a steamer from Norfolk
to Washington, and sentenced to be
hanged by the Prince Georges |
County, CMd) Circuit Court
He had based his appeal on the
10th article of the 1785 compact: |
And all piracies, crimes and Of
fenses committed on the before |
mentioned parts of the Chesapeake
Bay and Pocomoke River, by any
persons not citizens of Maryland, |
against any citizen of Virginia.
shall be tried in the court of the
Commonwealth of Virginia
jurisdiction of each State over the
river Potomac shall be exercised in
the same manner
Maryland contended the clause
applied only when there was some
dispute over the ownership of the |
river and argued further that an
commission ruled in 1877
that Maryland should have juris-

low-tide mark.
The Maryland Court Of Appeals
upheld the States argument and
their decision was affirmed by the
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Curran said the Supreme
Court decision meant that the opin-
ion could be extended to cover fish
ing-law violators.
