C. M. Allen, telephone engineer.
With the Forestry Service who has
been spending the past three days
In Koseburp, conltering with the local
supervisor, left this morning for his
headquarters In Portlund. Mr. Allen
has been making a study and Inves
tigation of the forestry methods for
the past ten years and believes tnat
the next few seasons will bring
about a decided revolution In fire
prevention and hire fighting.
Although his duty Is to construct
and keep In operation long lines of
telephones, he is constantly keep
ing In touch with the new inventions
and new experiments in order that
he may plan his own work to give
the greatest assistance in forest fire
protection. Mr. Allen forecasted the
aerial fire patrol long before it was
put Into operation and built up a
system of telephone communication
that greatly Increased the efficiency
of the patrol.
During the next few years he pre
dicts that there will be a great many
now Innovotlons In prevention and
fire fightng methods. "Our detection
system is already for ahead of our
suppression facilities," Mr. Allen
said. "Our (first development must
be to Increase the efficiency of our
fire fiohting service. I believe that
this can be eventually solved by the
aerial transportation. At the present
time we are able to detect fires with
in a few moments lifter they have
started. Next year we will have the
planes equipped with wireless tele
graph and telephone. The obsorvors
will be in almost constant communi
cation with the ground stations and

"At the present lime we nave cn

are stationed at frequent places
throughout the forest and the men
are kept busy doing trail work and
as they are needed are dispatched to

we can reach almost any spot with a
small crew of men In one or two days

That the state board of health is

a letter received this morning by

Ihe Index number. The volume is
companion to "The Index Number
for State School Systems" by Dr.
.eonard P. Ayres, which made a
omparlson of the efficiency of the
hool system til the different states.
Dr. Ilurgess compares the salaries
nnid to the teachors with those paid
laborers and artisans for 80 years
nd finds that the wages paid to the
young women teachers in country
hools have increased from sii.bu
week in 1841 to 117.60 now, an
ucrease of 600 per cent. Salaries of
omen teachers In cities show a aim- :
lar Increase from about 14.60 to ,
H5.00 por week. Men teachers re
ceived much smaller relative ln-
reases.
Up to 1918 teachers received per
centage Increases In salary nony
wlco as great as laborers ana artisans
ir. Ilurgess Kinds, but In spite ol tne '
ncrense in tne average pay ot ine .
eachers. It has never risen as high
as the wages paid to such artisans
as blacksmiths, carpenters and to
painters.
luring the five years since 1915
he salaries of teachers have raised
on the average of 45 percent as com
pared with a 100 percent Increase In
he wages of laborers and artisans.
nys a summary or tne repori. mis
lag In teachers Balarles behind the
eneral rise In price has wiped out
all the gain that was made since the
'line of the civil war. A comparison
of teachers salaries and costs df tho
necessities of life each year for tho
nnst 80 years makes It clear that In
hn past I wo years the purchasing
power of the teachers salary has been
leas than at any other time since tne
t'lvil war. The report maintains that
tho only way to retain efficient tea-
hers In service and at the same time
ittract men and women to teaching
Is to bring salaries to a level corres
ponding to a level of the wages df
other occupations, and the level of
the cost of living. This Is taken to ,
mean bringing salaries to a point
Just double- tho pre war figures.
Estimating tho probame levels or
school expenditures during the next
few yenra, the conclusion Is drawn
y Or. HurgesB that to buy the same
amount of educational service In
III2U as In 1915. It will be necessary
to. double tho school budget. In the
light of price and wage (fluctuations -in
the past and particularly at tho
iliue of Ihe Civil war. it is predicted
that no largo decreases n prices or
wages are lo be anticipated Imme
diately, hut that expenditures on the
enlarged scale will be necessary for
l number of years. '
Considering ways to meet the de
sired Increase In school expenses. Dr.
Ilurgess says he believes the tax rate
on school property and particularly
on land can ' bo further Increased
without disaster. The wide range of
tax rates In different large cities Is
cited to Indlcnte that there la no eco
nomic limit which has been reached
In many cities.
