Not long ago Peterson searched
the country over for a trained per.
son to teach teachers for elementary
grades in which children learn tt
read and write and do simple
arithmetic. After a long search he
found a young woman who pre-

building from the foundation rather
than going to a more lucrative po-

AS Peterson closed he stated that
5eachers qualified for their positions

Democrats; two Republicans-Wil-

Aiken (Vt.) - voted for effective
rent controls.
In surprise move, the Senate
rent control bill was called up and
in rapid-fire order series of
amendments were passed which
would:
ALLOW a $50 increase over
Sept. /, 1916 rents if landlords and
tenant agreed to lease that ran
at least until Dec. 81, 194S. The OBJ

could cOerce and intimidate ten

agreement" We're pointed out by
