Stale Education
Picture Improves
Megehee Relates

Mississippi's recently. adjourn
ed legislature gave the states
educational system its biggest
boost in many years, A. F. Me-
gehee told the Pascagoula XII
wants Club Tuesday, and the
record breaking appropriations
will result in about a ten per
cent increase in teachers salar-
les. But the County Superinten-
dent of Education added Stats
tics that showed Mississippi will
have to take many additional
steps to bring its system on a par
with that of other states.
The legislature appropriated
S23, 000,0 900 for common schools,
doubled its college appropriation,
more than doubled its vocational
appropriation, and voted S3,0G0,-
900 for building school houses,
Mr.. Megehee said. He said that
most of the latter fund will be
used for building Negro schools.
MI. Megehee pointed to the
alarming rate at which college
trained teachers are leaving the
profession for higher paying jobs
in industry. Mississippi's aver
age pay to teachers last year
was S906.17, the superintendent
said, a substantial increase over
the $675.47 paid two years ago
but still far below the amount
in keeping with the training re-
quired.
In spite of the increased appro-
priations for schools, the state is
spending less of its revenue now
than five years ago, Mr.. Megehee
said, and presented statistics
showing that education more than
pays for itself. U. S. Chamber
of Commerce figures show that
retail sales are greater, that peo-
pie live longer, and crime is less
where more money is spent on
education.
Statistics show that IS per cent
of the worlds people are illit-
crate, Mr.. Megehee said, and add
ed that rs per cent of the peo-
pie in prison in the United States
are ~illiterate and that 80 per cent
come from illiterate homes.

Tampa, Fla-(FP). - Dollars and
orange trees grow in what the state
chamber of commerce happily calls
fabulous Florida" And so do the
people who have no dollars-the un-
employed.
A recent release of the state-owned
Florida News Service, citing bank
statements furnished the state comp
troller, boasted that deposits are
mounting higher almost daily" and
that "many elements in the financial
structure of the state show resources
have often multiplied tenfold within
the last 10 years"
That's the success story of the big
shot Floridans and northern black
marketeers growing fat off the va
cationists who are uncomplainingly
paying spectacular prices at the
hotels, shops and night clubs in the
crowded beach resorts.
Mobs of tourists willing to pay any
price for chicken-coop space have
sent rents in Miami Beach and Palm
Springs soaring to new heights and
not far behind are the price of food,
clothing and entertainment. On dis
play at a haberdashery shop in Miami
recently was tie selling for $1,5C0
which, according to one newspaper
columnist, found several eager Gus
toners.
But Florida's big postwar boom
doesn't show up in the records Of the
U. S. Employment Service offices, in
various cities. In Tampa, for example,
only 900 jobs were available for 1854
registered workers March l with 2,400
more unemployed expected within the
next two months.
OF the 900 jobs currently offered,
more than half are in unskilled cate
gories and all but q few of the rest

have the cash to put on the line. Five
years is as good figure as any ant
probably not too far from the truth.
What is going to happen when that
spree is over? That's, let us say, the
under side of the rosy picture.
The foreign trade picture is com.
| plex. Many countries are broke-cleal
broke. Their buying will be done on
what credit they can muster and then
as they begin to climb back they will
be required to liquidate the bill.
There probably will be longtime
demand, because of the destruction of
Germany and Japan and the ruination
of such industry as there was in some
other countries, including Manchuria.
The need will be there, but the abil-
ity to pay is something else.
But in five years lot can happen.
Britain will do a big come back as
export producers, Nobody knows what
Russia will do. If it serves her pur-
pose to export, at the expense of her
own people, she will export.
Some Of the Latin nations will make
big strides in industrial production.
Mexico and Argentina are two in
that class.
And now we have the picture at
home.
Economists pretty much agree that
our industry can overcome the pent
up demand here at home and five
years is an outside period for that.
Then we get back to what is called
a normal" demand. Of course NOR
NAL" isn't quite the right word, but
is one that gets itself understood,
roughly.
Well, where does all of this lead
us?
1t leads right where any considera-
tion Of industry and it's output always
has led. 1t leads to the fact that if
goods are going to move away from
factories and mills and mines, some
one has to have the money available
millions of someone's.
That ability to buy depends pretty
much on wages. The distressing thing
we have to gaze upon is the fact that
employers, supposedly educated by ex
perience before and during the war,
haven't learned thing They still
try to hold wages down close to a
general subsistence level They don't |
the need for high wages.
They don't know economics. They
think the answer to everything is in
profits.
Well, profits are like water flow
ing from spring. When the under
ground supply dries up, there is no
more spring. Five years should about
zee it.--CMW.

Will Tell How
Science Of Wuves
Is Progressing

The tremendous strides being made
by scientists in the field Of shortwave
transmission will be portrayed at a
meeting on Friday evening, March %
in the Memorial Auditorium, c. l..
Bullock, division industrial manager OF
the Ohio Power Co., announced this
week.
DR.. Phillips Thomas, research engi-
neer for the Westinghouse Electric
Corporation, will be the speaker. His
lecture will include a demonstration
of ultra shortwave radio, development
of which was hailed as the greatest
of the war until the atomic bomb came
along. ii9'h'h
Long recognized in the engineering
world for his contributions, Or.
Thomas is now outstanding as a. hu-
man link between the mysteries of the
research laboratory and the everyday
world in which we live.
His weekly radio program, "Adven-
lures in Research" broadcast from
more than a hundred radio stations
and approaching its fourth year on
the air, presents discussions Of scien-
tific facts, some new, some old, but
all aimed at the man in the street and
the youth in the classroom.
Before wartime research claimed
most of his time, the scientist spent
many hours on the lecture platform
demonstrating the marvels of science
to hundreds of audiences. Now, with
the war ended, he has resumed lectur
ing. Transcriptions of his radio broad
casts on science now form talking
library" and are distributed free for
use in schools and colleges by the
United States Office of Education.
Expert to tell how science Of waves is
progressing
A native of Granville, Ohio, DR..
Thomas was graduated from Ohio
State University in 1904. Two years
later, he was appointed an instructor
in engineering in Princeton Univer-
sity. In 1911, he received Doctor of
Philosophy degree from Princeton,
and the same year joined the Westing-
house organization. He has several in
ventions to his credit, including those
of the ultra audible microphone and
the glow discharge microphone-vital
steps in the perfection of radio broad
casting.

1t is of more than passing interest
to note that, in spite of work stoppage
of one kind or another, our total pro-
duction is now going forward at a
rate exceeding the last pre-war year
That means that we are really
Smelling out the goods.
You can figure out, if you're good
at figures, what we will be doing
when the big disputes have been set
tied and the production lines really
get going.
Our production will be terrific.
For big production there has to be
a big market. But there's more to it
than that. Because we learned lot
of things in the war, our production
will keep on getting bigger and big
ger, if plants can run at full blast.
That means that markets must keep
on getting bigger and bigger-or else.
That gives us quite something to
think about.
For some time the domestic market
will be flush with money, ready to buy
all kinds of new things.
The export market also will be
good. 1t, too, has been starved by
reason of the war And some of the
Latin American nations have big cred
its with which to buy. These were
built up by our military operations in
those countries and by the war ma
farialS uya had to hny in buUa puan
titles.
If we could know how long this
balloon full of money will hold out
we could reach some very interesting
conclusions.
1t might be a good estimate to ex-
pect that five years will be about the
outside period of hunger
is, buying by those at home and abroad
who are starved for goods and who
