Breck pointed out that it is N0t the fntention of those interested in the campaign to decry the beauty of furs or to attack the legitimate metivities of the fur trade. “If any one of us will consider just what the supports of his daily life are” Mrs. Fiske said, “he will be ap- palled, if he is a being of imagina- tion and sensibility, by the ferocities | that are resor + orde . may eat relf, The z s that | s is un- necessary for his comfort Survival of Savagery. “Tt s nothing more nor less than the persistence of that prehistoric savagery that makes it seem neces- sary in this modern day still to clothe ourselves In the skins of animals and | to eat their flesh iety is so or- ganized as to maka it seer sary | for thousands of shoutin men to stand knee-deep in blood, deal- ing ferocious blows right and left upon milllons of shrieking anlmals in order that we may be fed.

The dispute of the rate of pay for substitutes began early in February when the board, at the recommenda- tion of the supervising principals, put into effect a higher salary schedule. It was met by protests from the Teachers' Union and subsequently the Teachers' Councll. As a result a slight modification was made by the board, which did not meet with the pproval of the teachers. The coun- 1 then drafted a lower schedule and ubmitted it to the board at a joint < st week. Plan for Employed Children.
