HINES TO MAKE CAMPAIGN FOR RURAL SCHOOLS V Country Teachers Are Paid Less Than Unskilled Laborers. MANY DO EXTRA WORK By KATHLEEN H'KEE. Plans for an active campaign for the purpose of improving the rural schools of the state are being formulated by the j state department of education under the supervision of L. X. Hines, state superintendent. Mr. Hines, who returned from the fiveday conference at Bloomington, is very optimistic regarding the results of the meeting. “Action by the trustees and the teach- j ers who were present,” he stated, “is certain. “Earnest interest, which indicates de- 1 termination, was In evidence among all the delegates." In discussing the plans for th* cam-! •paign Mr. Hines said that well-known Ben and women in the Indiana schools wifi speak in the communities in all Lperts of the state. B "There are 4,HSI one-room rural schools j ■ln Indiana, as far as reports haTe been j r received," said Mr. Hines. Fully one-half of this number will be ! without teachers next fall uuless relief is found, was his assertion. SIX OIT OF EIGHT EXPECTED TO QUIT. “Last spring one young man reported i to our department that of the eight j teachers in his village school building, six expected to abandon teaching in the j Immediate future." Mr. Hines said that young men and , women are unwilling to enter teaching ! as a profession on account of the low salaries paid. “The cost of living,” tie said, “has more than doubled in th© last three years, while the increases in teachers’ salaries for the United States in the same time have been about 12 per cent.” "Hundreds of teachers have answered my c aestionnaires with such remarks as ‘I work in a drug store during the summer,’ or ‘I do housework for my room and board,’ or ’I take in sewing to meet my expenses.’ ” “Teachers are paid much less than thousands of unskilled laborers whose preparation is nothing in comparison to the years of hard study of the wouldbe teacher, and who have no expenses for ‘professional upkeep,’ ” he said. The state superintendent said that more than 100.000 positions In the public schools of the country are either vacant , or filled with teachers below tbe stand- ! ■ rd. “In tbe last three years the attendance’ in the normal schools and the teachers' training schools has decreased 20 per cent.’’ be stated. “County and district superintendents from all parts of the United States made a report to National Educational association showing a shortage of 14,CSS teachers.” Mr. Hines said that there is estimates to be 650.000 teaching positions in the : United States, 39.000 of which are va- j cant and 65,000 tiiled by teachers below , the standard of efficiency. TEACHERS CAN NOT LIVE ON SALARIES. “In three counties investigated In In- j diana,” said Mr. Hines, “a majority of j teachers said that they could not live twelve months on the salaries. Figures show that Indiana stands secod in manufacturing, third in production of hogs, fourth In soft coal, third in corn, third in stone and from tenth to fifteenth in education, according to Mr. llines. “Our rural situation is also far from encouraging." said Mr. Hines. "We spend approximately twice as much on tbe education of the city child as that of the country child." “Letters come to our office complaining about what is or is not done In rural schools of a certain type.” Mr. Hines declared that the time i should conn in Indiana In tbe immedi- ! ate future when the rural teacher should receive as much as the city teacher; when tbe rural term should be as long as the city term; when the rural child should b t\c a schoolhouse as good as the city child "When we get these things,'” said Mr. Jitney, “We mil have social justice throughout Indiana." “During the twelve months preceding June 30. 1919, we spent nearly $13,000,006 on amusements and self indulgence." Mr. Hines declared that the people who spent this enormous amount complain that schools cost too much money. "At tbe same time they slave and work In order to accumulate what they consider a competence, they neglect the, education of their children." Christiansen’s Plan Touches All Phases CHICAGO, .fuly 19. —Parley Christian- ; sen, farmer-labor candidate for the presd- | dency, left his campaign plan with sop- ; porters here while be sped toward his Utah home today. The plan is for “a twenty-four hour j day, seven days a week, ball, street j comer and front porch campaigns," he ! said. Blackford County Treasury Runs Dry Spectal to The Times. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., July 19.—The Blackford county treasury is without funds to meet current expenses. The county council has authorized the ! loan of $20,000 to meet the deficiency and to pay a debt of $7,000 which the county owes on its war debt.

Carter and William Walker were fast i friends and Carter borrowed Walker’s machine, promising to return it within a couple of hours.

Ind., July 19.—Rivalry has developed in connection with the estate of Charles X. Huffman, killed June 28, when a train struck an automobile In which he was riding. Huffman bad been divorced from his first wife, Clara, and at the time of his death was living with his second wife, Blanche/ The first Mrs. Huffman has applied to the court to have a trust company appointed administrator of the estate.

WOMEN VOTERS NONPARTISAN? League President Can Not Keep Politics Out — Quits. , Disruption in the ranks of heretofore calm and peaceful existence of the local League of Women Voters has come. Mrs. Edward Hecker, president of the feminine nonpartisan organization of politicians, resigned Friday apparently with no other reason than lack of time to carry on the work properly, but 10, today the real cause for the laying dowu of the gavel was brought to light. Mrs. Hecker, it seems, finds it hard to be the head of a nonpartisan federation. She claims that certain members, prominent workers, too, are stealing her thunder and trying to use her as a mere figurehead. However the three members mentioned in this connection in the case refuse to stand for the accusations which have been thrown their way. Miss Alma Sickler, Miss Eldena Lauter and Miss Sara Lauter claim that they j have only the good of the league in view, that they are active workers, are full of “pep” and united in the firm belief that ! “Americanism before partyism" should be tho general policy and slogan of the members. It is reported that the late president also made reference to their financial donations being so huge that tbe trio felt that they had bougut their right to lay out the policy for the organization. Again, the throe state that tbeir donations together would not enrich the treasury to any startling extent. A dozen others, they say. give equally as much and more than they. The whoie secret of the feminine “cabal” is that Mrs. Hacker has lost faith in the power of a political organ izatiuu to live and prosper ns a nonpartisan i.ffair, that she does not care to try and steer the ship of women unaffiliated with party polities; that the forks of opposition that she has run against have discouragv-d her, and so the “board" is now looking for an enthusiastic leader, one imbued with the wildest enthusiasm, one who will not let her personal party affiliations stand before her league af- i filiation. And is there such a person? Can a political organization be nonpartisan without friction? The majority of women say “yes" and the voters say "no.” The next league election and a little time will tell. j The Young Lady Across the Way | p. ■ '.rr The young lady across the way says ; the new neighbors seem rather extrava- j gant but we must not Judge harshly and quite likely there are extenuated circumstances.
