WEEKLX SERMONETTE (Continued from Page Fourteen) and events which honor the dead, "which long for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is still" is vocal with appeal. They died for peace. God giyes us to live for peace. Let us be still before God, still in the power of common understanding, altruism, human charity and service in business and in brotherhood. While we muse thus toeether.

while we remember these pioneers blazing the way to unitedness as a nation, as a world the fire burns within us to stand against hate, suspicion, greed, selfishness, sin. We want a country of honor and clean patriotism and co operating citizens. We want a country of righteousness and peace. We want a country which cannot be manipulated as a figure on the chessboard Of time by men who follow not in the spirit of those who suffered, bled and died for their countrymen and the world: by men who have pride to obey, stubbornness to feed, personal pique to avenge or partisanship to gratify. We bow in acknowledgment of the matchless services rendered by our heroes of other days but let us this day bind ourselves to the tasks of a better country to accomplish which they broke their hearts and gave their bodies.

Then In the name of our God who seeks to be exalted in all the earth, we want a better world. The men of '17 and '18 halted gigantic national selfishness, checkmated mad destruc tion, sounded the bugle for peace and a world safe for truth and love and life. The nations are made a neighborhood by commerce, by literature, by the memories and love of migrated populations, by Intermarriage, by travel, by cables under the oceans Look for Finance Committee To Again Fix Assessment At Nineteen Mills MEET WITH HUGE EXPENSE Nearly $3,000,000 Expended Annually Teachers' Payroll Exceeds $1,800,000 No Increase In millage will be recommended by the finance committee of the Scranton school board, It Is understood, when the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1929 and ending July 1, 1930, is introduced to the directors at Monday night's meeting. The tax millage has been nineteen mills for the past several years despite the huge undertakings in the way of the building program, increase of educational facilities and the revamping of schools to meet modern requirements. A personal tax of $2.50 again will be fixed, it is reported.

The Scranton school district Is a $3,000,000 business institution. Its annual expenditures run close to that amount. Its biggest expense item is instructional service salaries paid principals and teachers. This payroll all of which remains in the city exceeds $1,800,000. The payroll of the maintenance and building forces including custodians runs close to $200, 000 annualy.

Safety Program Expensive The Scranton school board has an expensive program to meet in insuring safety of its buildings from mine raves, an expense unknown to school districts outside of the anthracite field. It is necessary to purchase coal blocks beneath new buildings and also beneath old buildings when the lateral support is threatened. Another big expense is the flushing item. Despite these expense factors the Scranton millage compares favorably with the millage of other cities of its size throughout the country while at the same time the salaries paid teachers here are on a par with the salaries in other municipalities of the same population.
