Atlantic City, .Tilly 27. Wealthy
men of public spirit can do a grent
service for tbo school teachers and the
whole school system and at the same
time make a profitable Investment be
taking a portion of the SL'.OOn.OOO
school loan, which is offered at 5 per
cent. This Is the view of Simon GrnU.
president of the Philadelphia Board ot
Education, who Is spending his vacation
In Atlantic City. The $2,000,000 loan
fulled recently through Inck of bidder..
"The citizens' committee, for in
stance," said Mr. Gratz, "can change
its recent plnu to secure nn advance of
$700,000, which Theodore F. Jenkins
advised lis was illegal, by securing a
subscription for n like amount to the
new plan. The same purpose would be
served without any question as to its
legality.
""The $700,000, plus $000,000 to
be raised bv the sale of properties,
would provide ?l,ri00,000.
Might Get $200 Apiece -One
million two hundred thousand
dollars of this "would take care of the
teachers to the tune of $200 apiece.
The teachers understand as, well as
we do that it will he impossi
ble to give them $-100 uniece." The
money simply cannot he raised to do
"With tho other $100,000 something
could be done Immediately (hr the other
employes. Twice that amount would
really be, all too little, but, if wo can
raise that much for them, we might
take a chance! on the other $100,000.
"I do not see how- anything can le
done before September, because I be
lieve it wotild be almost impossible to
get a nuorum of the board together
before that tme. Four members or'
111 and home of the others could not be
reached in tlipe.
"The suggestion that the board drop
its building program, so as to provide
more money for the teachers, is out of
the question, as wo huve already made
contracts for this. Fortuuutely for us,
in a way. the builders are not build
ing, for If they were we would not
have the money to pay them.
"If the loan fails, the board is biirh
and dry. The situation is not an
envinble one tu.facc. The high cost
of living is pushing every one hard, and

The ship was seen b the Teivvnsend's

was impossible in make out what she
was. Pi (im the- rolor of the smoke, it
was believed that she was an oil tanker.
No Information mold be obtained

wireless station at Cape Mav. to which
.she would hove sent an S. O. S. call,
had she been ciiuippeil with wireless,
reported ul noon that nn such cnll hail

Crowds throiiTed the beaches nt Ava-

ship's presence became known. She
appeared to be just on the hoibon. The
Avalon const guards started eiut to the
vessel in their row bout, but soon saw
that the Townsend's Inli't new were on
their way to her assistance in their
motor lifeboat and leliirned. The
Townsend's Inlet ciew re-iehed thc ves
sel nnd disappeared from v lew in the
thick smoke.
According to latest rep.uts fiom Ava

these reports have not yet been con

nt the same time reunited that they be
lieved she was still above the water,
