The number of births in the
United States has almost doubled
In the last twenty years. In the
last eight years, the average mum
Der of births each year is more
than million above the average
for the eight years Immediately
preceding. By 1858, the number
OF births in the United States in
creased three and nine-tenths mil
lion. All states have been affected
with higher birth rate in the
last twenty years, but to varying
degrees. In Oklahoma, for exam
pie, the birth rate has increased
only seventeen per cent. In Ohio
the increase is one hundred and
twenty per cent. California'S birth
rate scared to two hundred ninety
six per cent. If these children are
to be educated the nation must
build from now until 1860 anoth-
er classroom every five minutes
and also provide a teacher for
each classroom.
When the present elementary
enrolment moves into high school,
there will be a need for nearly
twice as many high school teach.
erS as at the present time. No one
can predict how this need will be
met, because the number of teach.
ers being graduated each year is
far below the need.
We have talked about teacher
shortage, but up to the present
time we have not really seen a
shortage. 1t is nothing compared
to that which is to come. The law
OF supply and demand will permit
all teachers to select a location
most desirable and those schools
offering the best pay. In Ohio,
there are 10000 teachers, approx
imately $4,000 in the elementary
grades and 10000 in high school
work. The average salary for the
elementary teacher in Ohio, based
on 1S53-1954 salaries, was So
687.00. The average salary of an
elementary teacher in the. Port
Clinton Schools was So, ,443.OO. The
average salary for a high school
teacher in Ohio was 81, 166.OO, in
Port Clinton the. average salary
was $4,05000. Combining both the
elementary and high school, more
than 10000 teachers, the average
salary of a teacher in Ohio was
S3,876.OO. In Port Clinton, the av-
erage was $3,714.OO.
From Detroit, on September the
7th, the Department of Education
OF the National Association of
Manufacturers made the following
statement: "Our schools need
more money. What they are get
ting isn't enough. We are spend
ing a smaller percentage of our
income on schools today than we
did in 1880, and schools were in
adequately supported then"
Teachers, like any other worker,
are naturally seeking the positions
with the best pay. If the Port
Clinton City Schools are to have
an adequate, well-trained teach
ing staff we must meet the COM
petition of neighboring communi-
ties.
Next week, l will discuss the eff
tect of rising costs and will pre-
sent the concluding facts as to
why the two-mill levy is a
MUST"

MARJORIE POST DAVIES
AA Il the most fabulous
hostess in Washington. Indeed,
she is one Of the most fabulous
women In the United states Of
America.
Midst the leveIing trend Of
the mid Goth Century she rep
resents q bygone era Of un-
believable luxury and almost
unlimited wealth. And no era
was ever more gracefully rep
resented.
QueenIy and beautiful with
q youthful, erect figure, she
stands for none Of the coldness
toward the comforts OF her
fellow beings so often cl1arac-
teristic Of the days OF opulence.
She knows she Ii the last Of
another age. but she has no
inclination TO draw her mantle
Of luxury about her. Instead,
she cloaks It In help and hos
pitality around . vast number
Of people.
She has had everything tE1ak
money could buy. but life has
never lost It's SAVIOR or hun1Cr.
Interested In everything and
everybody, she Ii never bored
and never boring. She COM
bines the great feminine love
Of beautiful clothes and set
tings with an organizing and
administrative ability that
prompts the egotistical male to
claim "she has a mans mind"
Among the top taxed In the
country. she has never COM
planned about taxes, nor has
she ever Joined o group to get
them reduced nor used o de-
vice to get around them. She
Is. In fact, . member Of the
Democratic Party that put the
burden Of taxes on the we'll
to-do.
She means 1t when she says
n Ia - privilege to bes m
American and live In the
United States. and one must
realize that the people making
the laws had to consider all
the people In the country.
Still it was taxes and high
labor costs that forced her to
put her magnificent yacht. the
Sea Cloud. the largest privately
owned yacht In the world. out
Of commission. And sailing
aboard it was one Of the joys
Of her life.

doned the university ffor hard

into business for himself and
doubled his investment In o.

During the years to come he
was to make and lose two or
three fortunes. He invented
q blade now in use on the COM
mon piow. also the cultivator
and various other farm inaple-
