Y BILLS INCREASE
PROFESSORS' SALARIES
OTHER C OLLEGES BEGIN
REALIZE FACULTY
NEEDS
TOI
(By Thomas F. McAllister)
With the passage of the Univer-
sity appropriation bill by the Senate
of the Michigan legislature yesterday,
action upon the emasure is now up
for final consideration before Govern-
or Albert E. Sleeper.
Increased Pay Noteworthy
Much interest has been manifested
in the success of the bill, and in Ann
Arbor especial interest and attention
has been directed toward the clause
providing for an increase in the
scale of professors' salaries. For the
past several months the matter has
engaged the attention of state legis-
latures and educational associations
throughout the country, invariably re-
sulting in action being taken for high-
er salaries for the faculty men.
Readjustments Seen Elsewhere
Important measures are now be-
fore the universities o Nebraska,
Iowa, California, Princeton and Cor-
nell, te readjust the collegiate finan-
cial affairs since the war. A short
time ago the Wisconsin legislature
passed a biennial appropriation of
$5,900,000, closely followed by the
large university budget passed by the
Minnesota assembly, providing among
other measures for a 10 year building
fund of $560,000 a year and an in-
crease in the scale of professors' sal-
aries.
Members of the corporation of Yale
university recently established a
gaduate increase in scale of pay for
fac lty professors and instructors,
Salaries are raised according to length
of service and reappointments."
In the United States Naval academy
at Annapolis teachers holding the rank
of instructor have been advanced to a
minimum of $2,000 a year, while the
minimum of assistant professors is
raised to $2,500. This is in conson-
ance with the policy of the govern-
ment, taking into consideration the
rise in the cost of living during the
war.
Postmaster Advocates Raise
Postmaster General Burleson has
announced that he will advocate a
raise in the wages of all government
telegraph and telephone employes, and
the Federal Rairoad commission a
short time ago increased the wages of
all railroad employes so that at pres-
ent the minimum o the average train-
man is about $2,000.
Faculty Petition, Low Figure
In making their announcement the
railroad commission stated that since
1910 living conditions have become
vastly more expensive, and that in
the past nine years the ordinary cost
of living has increased 117 per cent.
In, this regard it will be remarked
that in the petition to the legislature
by faculty members, the statement
that such an increase amounted to
110 per cent was a modest figure
rather than an exaggeration.
GALSWORTHY, BRITISH AUTHOR,
TO SPEAK HERE THURSDAY
(Continued from Page One)
ty, not only in his writings but in his
deeds. Since the last years of the
war, Mr. Galsworthy has given himself
and his attention exclusively to the
great work of re-education of maimed
soldiers. All who are so fortunate as
to hear this literary celebrity and suc-
cessful worker for humanity will be
doing honor unto themselves."
Professor Brummn
Professor John R. Brumm, of the
rhetoric depar'tment, makes the fol-
lowing statement: "Galsworthy is pre-
eminently a humanist. He is concern-
ed with the epical realities, with prac-
tical moral issues. He employs the
drama and the novel as a public forum
for the criticism of social institutions.
Yet he is no less an artist for the
teaching power which pervades his
writings. The reader of Galsworthy
must possess more than imaginative
interest; he must also have a sympa-
thetic intellectual interest, an interest'
not in events chiefly, but an apprecia-
tion of personality and the issues of
fortune as character and choice de-
termine it. Mr. Galsworthy's visit to
Ann Arbor will be a notable occa-
sion, an inspiration and a rev lation
to all who hear him speak."
Professor Strauss
Prof. Louis A. Strauss, of the Eng-
lish department, says: "John Gals-
worthy is the most representative{
prose writer of the present day. It is
an exceptional opportunity to be ablet
to attend his lecture."1

UNIERSITY ASSURE
OF NECESSAY MONEY
(Continued from Page One)
University of the needed money. It
is the largest appropriation ever ask-
ed in tfe history of the schobl. In
the past years the farmers have been
somewhat hostile to the school legis-
lation, but this year all such adver-
sity seemed to have disappeared.
A report was read in the legislature
telling how the government is planning
to teach the disabled Michigan sol-
diers. Approximately 4,000, state sol-
diers were incapacitated during the
war, and the government now intends
to prepare these men for any profes-
sion, trade, or industry in which they
choose to engage. It has entered into
contracts with 347 universities to edu-
cate these as well as other state soL-
diers.
While studying, the crippled sol-
diers will have all expenses paid, such
as books and tuition. Besides this he
will receive $60 a month, if qualified
to 'enter a university. Careful su-
pervision will be made of his work and
if it is .satisfactory at the end of the
first year he will be permitted to con-
tinue his course.
Six colleges have already offered
free tuition for these soldiers, it was
announced Tuesday at Camp Devens,
Mass. They are Massachusetts Agri-
cultural colleges, which offers a six
weeks' course in agriculture; Colum-
bia university, Wentworth institute,
Shaw University for Negroes, West
Virginia university, and Gallaudet col-
lege, which is an institute for the deaf.
