The report of the committee, giving the rea sons for the action, is aa follows: At a meeting this week of the Joint committee representing the Harrisburg School Board and the Harrisburg teachers, definite plane were made to further In -every way possible the passage of the bill for an Increase of teachers' salaries.- According to official United States government figures, the cost of liv ing baa advanced 80 per cent, and Inasmuch for every SIOO paid a man teacher six years ago, he now gets SIOB, and a woman teacher $lO6, while they have to pay ap proximately SBO more to subsist it can readily be seen that something must be done speedily If teachers are to stay in the profession. In other lines of work, all the employes have received substantial increases, while the Pennsylvania teacher has advanced less than $o a year. „ . While Pennsylvania is the second richest state in the Union, 2 7 states pay higher salaries to their teach ers. These men and women are supposed to train the future C 'J'7 zens of Pennsylvania, hence the highest type of manhood and wo manhood should be employed. To do this certainly a living wage must be paid. The laborer ought to be worthy of his hire. There is only one way to Keep this type In the profession. The wages must be high enough to keep thorn from entering better paying positions. Already, the situation Is critical, hundreds having left the profession in the past year to ac cept more 'lucrative positions. The state must do for its teachers what every corporation in the Uni ted States has been compelled to do, namely raise the wages of those whom it employs. The time has come in the history of this great Commonwealth of ours when either higher wages must in vite into the profession, as well as keep there, the efficient man or wom an,or else the schools will deteriorate. If the schools deteriorate on account of the lack tef efficiency on the part of its teachers, then likewise the coming citizenship of our great state will deteriorate. The greatest \fork of the public school is to train the boy and girl to be intelligent fu ture citizens. The appropriation asked for can only be used for increasing salaries and can be so handled by each local board that the teachers drawing the lower salaries r-n receive a higher rate of increase than the higher salaried teacher. This certainly must appeal to the Intelligent thinker. . . . In view* of the above facts the committee can not see how the great law-making body of our state can close their eyes to the importance of some action being taken quickly to remedy the conditions now ex isting. Harrisburg Yank in Germany Believes He Will Soon Come Home EUsmere Fenstermacher, son of Chrales Fenstermacher, 122 Chestnut street, writes home that he has every reason to believe tbat he will sonn be on his way to the United States. He says: "I am now In the hird Army which was formerly the First Corps of the First Army with some other units added to it." He has partici pated In the greater number of the American offensives, he writes. Speaking of Germany, he says: "I have been in Germany for anu num ber of days and cannot say that 1 do not like the country, because I do. It is practically the same in every respect as our own, and the people treat us with the utmost courtesy and respect, largely, I think, because they realize that if they didn't, they would receive the same treatment that they dealt Belgium and France." Continuing, he writes: "We are stationed at a large Zeppelin hangar, nera town (Trier, Germany), and it is one of the finest pieces of work I have ever seen. The doors are some thing like 110 feet high and made of steel. It is simply wonderful. In it we have some 150 German planes, which the Germans surrendered on their retreat. The Germans are very glad that the end has at last come. Independent government like our and that they shall have a free and own." Since he has been ,at Trier, he marched with his unit for two days along the Moselle river and has Just arrived at Coblenz, being stationed at Fort Alexander, near that city. This post is capable of quartering 100,000 soldiers.
