Y.f Feb. 23 IJP) Herbert Hoover returned today by plane from a round trip to Europe to survey food problems in the German and Austrian occupation zones.

The former president, looking tired, said he would have no comment until he had made his official report to President Truman, at whose request he went to Europe. He declined to say when he planned to go to Washington. minimum of $2,600. for the inexperienced, while York pays only an average of $2,500 to $2,600 for experienced teachers. York teachers are often attracted by offers from larger cities, and this helps drain off some of the better material, according to Seyler.

Economic Security Dr. Lyles declared that "more money spent for schools, means less money spent to cure delinquency." She further emphasized that since teachers must be free from worry to perform their tasks of seeing to the physical, mental and emotional, as well as educational well-being of their pupils, they should be given a feeling of economic security through substantial wages. A single salary schedule, with equal pay for elementary and high school teachefs, and for men and women with promotion by merit, was advocated by Dr. Lyles. She stated that the historical system of paying grade school teachers less than high school instructors dated back to the days when the former nppded less of an education.

Now, they all receive the same type of training. She advocated a "York Plan" for good schools and good treatment of teachers, which later would be followed by other cities. This plan would strive for new methods of education. "Teachers should be praised for their good work, not scolded for their poor work," Dr. Lyles declared.

Up To Parents Attacking the problem from another angle, Miss Arrriminta Gully, York Little Theater director, pointed out that since it is the betterment of the parents' town children that is concerned, it is up to parents to take the first step to see that youngsters are getting the type of education they want them to. Miss Gully maintained that it was the educational system of Germany and Japan that instilled ideas into the children of tbfee countries, which were instrumental in bringing about World War II.

Teachers' Aid Theme Of Panel Educators, businessman and York Little Theatre director participate in radio panel on problems facing teachers. Ways and means of bettering the conditions of teachers were discussed by a panel over Station WSBA yesterday afternoon. The speakers were: Dr. Victoria Lyles, city elementary school superintendent; Harry Seyler, administrative assistant of Hannah Penn Junior High school; Miss Arriminta Gully, director, York Little Theatre, and C.

Kenneth Shanaman, local businessman. "Condensing the 345 individual minds now governing the 69 school districts in York county into one school board of five members, would bring about a vast material savings that would enable an increase in teachers' wages," asserted Shanaman. Shanaman urged th3 consolidation of the administrative functions of York school districts as a means of procuring a central purchasing agent to cut costs of running schools. However, he deemed actual consolidation of school buildings as unwise, at present. "Taxation the crux of the whole matter," asserted Shanaman.

"Real estate taxes are usually the goat for increased taxation. The teacher salary problem, how- .1 -1- -i-J. cvci, awu ucpcitua on Maie ctfyiu- Driation." Tax Utilities, Seyler Says Seyler answered Shanaman stating that real estate taxes need not alone bear the brunt of better pay for teachers. He said that a graduated income tax, and the taking of now tax free public utilities, are other suggestions for raising money. Prof.

R. S. Hovis, professor of education at Millersville State Teachers college, who acted as moderator for the broadcast, said that no economic group had suffered more than the teachers recently. He maintained that the united efforts of all state and local groups was needed to solve the -problem of the educational system and educators, Otis B. Morse was announcer.

Seyler, who presented the teachers' viewpoint on the topic, said that since calling the needs of the school to the attention of the public is part of a teacher's job, it is up to the teacher to show the economic need of himself, "the most important factor in education." He said that the better teachers are leaving the teaching profession, and others stay on with a feeling of economic insecurity. Seyler said that fewer college students are preparing for the teaching profession today because of the poor monetary compensation for teachers. This latter factor also kept many ex-servicemen from returning to teaching, Seyler believes. He pointed out that although York schools are supported under a system of state and local appropriations, as are California schools, California pays its teachers a It is profitable To read daily the Little Ads With the Big message Classifieds.
