SHOULD GIVE INFORMATION
IN HIGHER PAY CAMPAIGN
Presenting statistics on the increase
in the cost of living and on the com-
parative increase in wages for rail-
road men and factory workers, Prof.
L. C. Karpinski, of the mathematics
department, in his lecture on "Teach-
ers' Salaries and the Cost of Living,"
yesterday. afternoon gave information
for teachers in communities where an
adequate campaign has not yet b'een
made to increase salaries, and out-
lined the most effective method by
which increases are to be obtained.
Dollar Bill Shorter.
"The dollar bill looks much shorter
now than it did in 1914," he said.
"According to statistics, the cost of
living in Detroit has increased 139 per
cent since 1914. This means that the
dollar now will' buy only 41 cents
worth of any commodity as compared
with 1914. In some place the increase
has been about TOO per cent, making
the average increase approximately;
120 per cent."
It is hoped the peak has been
reached,Ibut the decline isdnot in
sight. Increased prices and high
wages,"resuitng from the' law- ofsup-
ply aind demand, are by-products of
the waj. The cost of living is.a com-
plicated matter. It differs in various
parts of the cquntry and for differeit
individuals.
Must Pay. Good Salaries
"If teachers are to make a campaign
for increased salaries, they should1
have information available that will
be educational as to the future of the
comnuiity. The only way to get de-1
sirable teachers is to pay proper sal-I
aries. The teachers should submit fig-
ures on the local increase in cost ofP
living and on the increases that havej
been given labor in the community tof
meet the rising prices. Teachers dur-
ing the period of the war 'have not re!
ceived proportionate increases. - I

establishment of a proper salary mini-w

Declaring that there has been public
misconception concerningsupposed
Congressional extravagance, Prof. J.
R. Hayden, of the political science de-
partment, in his discussion of the
problem of the national budget Thurs-
day afternoon, said that proposed bud:
get reforms aim at efficiency in gov-
ernmental administration as well ,as
economy.
"Records show that in the last 20
years there have beenfew cases where
estimates have been increased by con-
gressional committees, and in most in-
stances they have been greatly re-
duced," he said.
$ystem Inadequate
"Politicians and statsesmen have
known that our so-called budget 'sys:
tem is inadequate. Appropriations are
not made in the best way, and the
process of checking the budget is
faulty," he 'continued. "The budget
bill passed by Congress and vetoed by
President Wilson in the closing days
of the last session because of one fea-
ture regarded as unconstitutional, was
a tremendbus step, in advance."
The problem of national budget, ac-
cording to Prof. Hayden, is not merely
one of sources of revenues but also of
expenditures and appropriations and
the metl od of accounting for govern-
nient funds. In past procedure each
bureau has made its own estimate of
expenses for the succeeding year. As7
a result of this system, bureau chiefs
ask for about double the sum they ex-
pect, knowing Congress will pare their
padded figures down. Discussing the
procedure of -appropriations in the
House, he said estimates are split1
among sevdral committees.

Various Chinese organizations in

$1,700 to aid in making the Mid-West-
ern Chinese convention, which will be
held here the first week in September,
a success.
One thousand dollars of this amount
was raised by the financial committee
of the Conference, under the leader-
ship of K. L. Wu, '21E, who canvassed
Chinese merchants in Detroit and
Toledo. The co-operation of the local
Chinese Students' club and the Chinese
Students' club of Detroit with the com-
mittee was a large factor in the suc-
cess' of the drive, according to those
in charge.
Local members of the conference
raised a subsidy fund of $300 to enable
members at a great distance to attend
the meeting. This was also done to
show the members of other schools
the common interest that is manifest.
in all members of the Conference, ac-,
cording to local officers.
In order. that the whole delegation
might visit Detroit and make an in-
spection of the industrial plants of
that city and also to provide enter-t
tainment for them while there, the'
Chinese Students' club of Detroit have
raised $350. This trip will be male

to secure for a period of days, sin

This year, however, the play will b
given by summer school students in ti
class of play production. The chan
was made because it Was'hought the
ne mbers of this class would be ab]
to secure valuable experience 'in pla
production, which could be used to a

LARGE NUMBER OF COUPLES
ATTEND WEEKLY UNION DANC
Approximately 130 couples, the larg
est lumber~ this summer, attended thc
weekly'Union dance last night. Georg
Roderick, '21E, and Knight Mirielee
'21E, were the committee in. charge.
The party for Put-in-Bay left this
morning via the Michigan Central rail-
road and the interurban for Detroit,
where the, large excursion steamer,
"Put-in-Bay," was boarded for a trip
through the Detroit river and Lake
Erie to the island, "Put-in-Bay,"
Mr. F. W. Frostic went on the Michi-
gan Central and Prof. I. D. Scott tool
the interuriban. These men who looked
after the details of the trip, were the
ones responsible for the success of the
Niagara Falls trip, which was made'
earljer in the summer.
The success of these excursion trips
which are planned to be 'interesting.
both from an educational and recrea-
tional viewpoint, has been'proven for
some time and they have become an
instituted part of the' Suminer session.'
Great difficulties have been experi-
enced by the Appointment committee
of the University ingfinding teachers to
fill the vacaneies for which there are
calls. I
The scarcity of teachers is found' in
all of the branches of high school
teaching. The demand for teachers in
technical and industrial schools is also
great,
