REMEDY FOR TEACHER
S'lORTAEE REVEALED
Each Community In Oregon
Should Know Instructors
of Children Today.
In asking the state of Oregon to vote
favorably for the two-inlll elementary
school messure, popularly known ax
the Children's KIk)U BUI, the teach
rs of the state of Oregon are not ask
ing for an increase in salary. They
are. merely working for a fair and
equal distribution of lain tor the sup
port of these, basic schools, that the
entire s title will be taxed and not only
the organised school districts, as at
present is the case. -
The shortage of of teachers In Ore
gon is growing so rapidly that the
situation is alarming in the extreme.
Last year 100 schools were closed, and
In these 100 schools, 230 rooms were
closed and close to 4000 pupils were
unable to have the instruction that
rightly should have been theirs. Wbai
was the csuseT
It was due entirely to a shortage
of teachers. Why? Because the teach
ers are being underpaid and are leav
ing the profeHslon for better-paid work.
Tbey have to do this. Some day Ore
gon must come to the rescue of the
teacher. Now, it Is being asked tc
save the child, the voter of tomorrow.
Do we want him educated? Sure.
Only recently in New York did the
question of raising the teachers' sal
aries come up before the legislature
and It was due to a lack of sufficient
Information as to the extent to which
they should be increased, and the
ability of communities to pay Increases
have led the legislative leaders to de
cide to postpone final revision of the
teachers' salary law until another sea
sion.
The temporary readjustment of sal
aries will fix the minimum rate for
the rutal school teacher at $860, while
In the larger country districts the
lowest paid elementary teachers will
gat $900. The minimum In elementary
schools in third-class cities will be
$1,100 Instead of $1120 as at present,
and that In high schools $1,260 Instead
of $940. Second-class cities must raise
their minimum salary of elementary
teachers from $800 to $1,200, and that
of high school teacheis from $1,000
to $1,400.
In order to prevent New York City
draining the adjoining cities of teach
ers, Yonkers, Mount Vernon, White
Plains, and New Rochelle are to be
required to pay within $550 of the
rates in effect In New York City. Flat
increases of $550 over the March 1
rates' are mandated upon Syracuse and
of $400 on Buffalo and Rochester.
These higher salaries will do much to
make the teaching service mora at
tractive. The New York City rates sre to be
fixed by a committee now at work
upon the problem of determining how
the city's quota of the direct state tax
of IV mills $12,000,000 shall be dis
trlbuted among more than 24.000 mem
bers of the supervising stafr. . The
average Increase of $500 would seem
small In comparison with the other In
creases were it not for the fact that
the governor last month signed a bill
giving the New York City teachers an
increase on June 1. Six thousand six
hundred and three teachers will re
ceive from 30 to 40 per cent more pay
than they received on Dec. 31, 1919,
while 6,050 others of a total of 24,123
will have their salaries increased from
SO to 60 per cent But the minimum
salary en June 1 will be only $1,005.
In redrafting the provisions of the
state-wide salary bill affecting New
York City the Joint legislative commit
tee to which the task was assigned has
raised this minimum to $1,600 and has
so revised other salaries that those
grades of the service where the chief
shortage of teachers exists shall offer
salaries that will attract and hold the
best teachers. In no other way can
the standards of teaching be maintain
ed, not to say Improved.
When the legislative committee re
ports next year whatever other grades
of the service have not received due
and proper consideration can be pro
vided for In the general salary inorease
measure.

to
After two years of practical opera
tion of the tuberculosls-frce accredited
herd plan. joint committee repre
senting the pure-bred cuttle associa
tions iiikI the United States Live Stock
Sanitary association has unanimously
decided that no steps should be taken J-i
to lower the high standerd of the
present plan. ';
, It was decided that no herd should ;
be accredited If It contains a tuber- j
cular animal, male or female. It :
was agreed by the joint committee, to
show that owners nre exerting an ef
fort to exterminate the disease, that
a supplementary list be made to the
accredited herd list to contain the
names of the owners cf pure-bred
herds that lire free from tuberculosis
on two annual tests but, in which the
herd bull relets. Such a herd will
not receive an accredited herd cer
tificate. The "reacting bull may be used
under certain conditions.
The accredited herd plan Is adminis

STEERS FATTENED ON SILAGE
Interesting Feeding Test With Shelled
Corn Conducted at Missouri
Station.
At the Missouri experiment station
one lot of steers was fed 15 pounds of
shelled corn per head per day along
with 2.5 pounds of linseed oil cake.
2.9 pounds of clover hay, and 25,
pounds of corn silnge. Another lot re
ceived no shelled corn but a little
more of the oil cake and clover and 40
pounds of stlnge per head per. day.
The results were that the lot that re
ceived shelled corn aud half a feed of
silage charged $15.95 for 100 pounds
gain, while the other lot charged only
$10.69. The cost of feed per steer on
shelled corn was $50.28, while with the
other lot It was $21.17., ' ' ;
WATER SUPPLY FOR CALVES
Common Idea That Young Animals

Let the calves have free access to
fresh and clean water, and also to
salt. The common Idea that calves
will drink too much water is a mis

little calves should not eat too much
