Increase in Teachers | “There has been un increase in the | number of teachers employed, and this increase has been disproportion-| copy of the resolution adopted by ate to the increase in the number of | the “It is most | at pupils,” the report says. marked in city schools and is due in! part to the increased number of pu- pils attending high school. There is| @ prevalent belief, also, that a por- tion of the increase in the number | of teachers employed is due to the | more ample organization of instruc- tional staffs which has come about | in recent years. It is commonly be- lieved that there has been an increase | in the number of supervisors und | that those who have superintending ' duties have done less actual work in| an instructional capacity; in short,| that the organization of city schools | has been unnecessarily ‘elaborate. There is a common belief that a part | of the increase in the number of| teachers is due to an over-ambitious | high school program, and that high; schools are offering more elective | branches than are necessary for the welfare of the pupils and more than taxpayers can fairly be called upon to provide.” High School Problem The present economic trend has brought about a serious high school problem, the report points out. The legislature provided that a school district must provide a high school ‘or must pay a certain tuition in an- other district. This provision, it is stated, has proved inadequate be- cause the amount which it is made the duty of the home district to pay; is not sufficient to reimburse the dis- triet in which the child attends. “The suggestion is advanced that the county be made the unit of high school for the payment of high school tuition, instead of the township.

Studebaker Duplex ends need of hunting for side curtains in the dark and storm Anew type of car has stirred the automobile world as has nothing since the abandonment of the “buggy” style of body ing. It is the Studebaker Duplex, so called to indicate that it is an open car one moment, and 30 seconds later it is an enclosed car. Like all great advances in the industrial arts, it is “so simple in operation, it is a wonder it wasn’t thought of before” — — — Particularly since its need has been growing, year by year, ever since automobiles were made. Many people all of the time, and most people part of the time, want an open car—to bring to their riding the fresh crispness of the country air, and a free and untrammeled association with the great outdoors. Yet for these same people, the snug comfort of the closed car, shutting out the storm and the wind and the cold, has been at times a necessity. 0 Two cars in one \ _ The Studebaker Duy-texis both carsin one. Just pull down the roller enclosures concealed in the roof of the car. In 30 seconds the open car has been made an enclosed car. ; No hurried efforts to put up curtains; no hunting for the right one while the storm beats in; no mixing them up in the dark; no exposure through holes torn in them while trying to obtain, for the emergency, the protection given by a closed car — — — Just pull down the roller enclosures giving instant enclosed car effect. The body is built substantially —sides, corners and roof frame are of steel. The roof has carved steel sides and back; hardwood front. Steel, U-shaped cross beams, six of them, support the waterproofed, , duplex fabric top and its linings. Here is permanent beauty, no sagging tops. But Studebaker, on which the whole yehicle-using world has come to depend for reliability, would not rest on only one real contribution to the value given the public. 4 It must give all that engineering ability could devise. Striking new features So there are offered three distinct models of cars, to meet each of the three fields of demand—the Standard Six, with 113-inch wheelbase and 50 horsepower motor; the Special Six, with 120-jnch wheelbase and 65 horsepower motor; the Big Six, most magnificent and luxurious of its products, with 127-inch wheel- base and 75 horsepower motor. A Duplex bodies are available on each line. In ad- dition, closed models have workmanship and mate- rials and beauty of line so far above the price class of the car, they must be seen to be appreciated. Of scarcely less importance than the Duplex fea- ture are other improvements such as, automatic ignition system, lighting control on the steering wheel, new location of emergency brake, improved one-piece The body lines, steering mechanism, and even the fenders of the new Studebaker were designed espe- harmonize with grace and beauty hitherto unattained, even by Studebaker.
