Yale's financier, or those who are re
nponelble for the payment-of the bills,
la as to where the money la romlnr from
with which to meat this additional finan
cial burden. Kor her war deScIt the unl
veralty called on the alumni and In 191 S
campaign was atarted by the Yale
Alumni Aasoclallon to raise n fund of
$2.',o,(r0u. When the money was all In It
was found that this had been doubled
This year the alumni went over the top
with a fund of J700.000. This annual
contribution on the part of the graduates
has alwaya been available for use by the
i:nlverslty wherever needed, but recently
the sentiment has been growing among
Yale graduates that It wa more needed
In paying the salaries of the faculty than
anywhere else.
Although no definite statemont has
been given out regarding the' actual
plans of the Yalo Alumni Association, It
mads known to-day that the aaso
clatlon Is going out this year to work
principally to get money enough to see
that Yale la not behind other colleges In
paying her men. Henry J. Fisher, Yale
1896, chairman of the Yale University
Alumni Fund for 191-20, has Just Issued
a statement that Is being sent broad-

,w.h ih. v.i mm m aaaanaa cast to Yale men on this subject as fol-
next year th payment of the salaries
of the teaching afl of the undergrad
uate denirtmcnta Is under consideration,
according to a statement made to-day
by a graduate In dlscuaelng Yale aal
ary problem. If such a programme la
adopted Yale will be, as far as known,
tho first an4 only university In the
world where the graduate body pays
the bills of the teachers of Ita alma
mater. Jn the event of the Yale alumni
Association atsumlng thin obligation It
would mean that Instead of a quarter of
a million dollars being subscribed each
year, which was tho high water mark
before the war. It would ba necessary
to mora than quadruple this amount, for
considerably more than a million dollar
will probably he required to pay Yale'i
teachers during 1519-20.
Tills salary question has been one of
(he problems that have been bothering of
ficials and graduates alike ever since an
official stated that the university had
tefnsed to raise the wages of Its stokers
when they asked for an Increase on the
ground that Tale could not be placed In
the position of paying her firemen more
than she was paying some of her ln
tructora Graduates from Maine to
California began to take notice and
queries began to pour Into the treas
urer's office Inquiring what was the mat
ter with Yale that she was not paying
Iter faculty a living wage. One grad
uate even went so far as to send a
check on learnlnr what a member of
the faculty had pledged In order to
make a certain addition to the univer
sity's collection In th letter acom
panylng the check the writer said : "I
certainly do not know what tho hell a
aMfcaMM I - Km if .n. nf ftlir TK.nHv
paid profs thinks It Important enough
1 to put in one-tenth of his salary I
want to be In to the extent of $100."
When several weeks ago Yale's recon
struction plans began to be the subject
of discussion one of the first matters
; that came up was the question of sde-
quste salaries for the teaching staff.
Salaries Prove Inadequate.
1 Certain members of the faculty, en
Icouraged b the statement of Treasurer
Oeorge Parmly Day that no change had
been made In the faculty salary scale
since 1910. come out boldly and showed
.an increase of from 50 to 65 per cent. In
I the cost of Hying for the family of the
average wage earner In mo United
States since the outbreak of the war in
July. 1914, and that salaried men. espe
cially those dependent on university sal
aries, were relatively worse off than the
average wage earner. Facts were
't.rought to the attention of the officials
show ing that unlesa Tale boosted up her
. salaries she was In grave danger of not
,'onlr loslns her mh. who would be forced
3 to go to other places to- teach, but that
j university trained men would not go
Into teaching to starve on a oollcge pro
I fetsor's salary.
The result is that during the coming
vcar at Yale instructors instead of re
ceiving $1,00 as a start and finally
struggling up to $1,60' will start in
with J 1.250 the first year and with a
$250 a year Increase will reach $!,000
the fourth year. An assistant profes
sor's first appointment will mean a sal
ary of $5,300 : second appointment,
$1,000. and third appointment. $S.r,00.
The minimum salary to be paid to a iro-f-Efor
at Yale will be $4,000 during
1 019-1520. and the Increase In salaries
nf some of the professors now receiving
that amount will be taken up later.
Alltough exact figures arc not as yet
available. It Is estimated that In normal
vears Yale pays cut between $820,000
and $850,000 in salaries to her teach
Ing staff The increase of 25 per
cent, which the corporation has au
thorised In the salaries of instructors
an'l assistant prcfesscrs together with a
probable increase of perhaps 20 per
cent, to professors will bring Tata's
salary budget, up to considerably more
than '$1,000,000.

"The greatest crop this country pro
duces Is not corn, nor wheat, nor cotton.
"It Is boys.
"Some them, those In whom you and
I are perhaps most Interested our sons,
our younger brothers are within the
halls nf Yale. Are we doing everything
within our power to enable them to meet
the battle of life an Infinitely bigger
and more complex battle than we had to
face with the best possible equipment?
"I doH't believe we csn honestly mske
that claim until such time as wa shall
give of our best thought and Insistent
effort toward the securing of a Ilvin
wage for the teaching staff of this uni
versity. Call Made for Increase.
"Isn't it time that the men who at a
great personal sacrifice have under
taken the Instruction snd mental guid
ance of those most precious to us during
the formative period of their lives
should be recompensed on a scale a
shade higher than. a good bookkeeper
or secretary or foreman of a gang?
"How Yale's teaching force, how the
teaching fraternity In general, has been
able to carry on during the recent cruel
years and take care of their families
God only knows. Let us use our best
endeavor to remedy this injustice once
for all by putting. teaching on a higher
plane, and let us do It before by dire
necessity this much sacrificing body In
the underpay of Yale is forced to blow
Its horns around the walls of Jericho.
"In other words, let us beat them
to It."
The Committee on Education of the
Yale corporation, which has considered
the salary question at Yale from various
angles, has made the following recom
mendation to the corporation relative
to the Increaae of the salaries of pro
fessors, a matter that will be taken up
this fall :
"The committee recommends Oiat the
determination of questions of Increase
of salary of prbfessors already receiv
es $4,000 or more be deferred until the
uties which such professors assume un
der the proposed plans of university re
organisation are more fully determined
and the principles by which compensa
tion for different classes of service can
be approximately established. Should
this result In deferring the actual In
crease of professors' salaries until the
autumn of 119, It Is understood that
Increases then adopted should be made
to take effect the beginning of the aca
demic year 1919-1920.
"In this connection your committee
desires to report its conviction that the
primary object of the two undergradu
ate schools 1b the education of their stu
dents, and that to thla end the charac
ter and personality of the various
teachers, both Instructors and profeasors,
and their ability and success as slim
latlng and Inspiring influences Is a mat
ter of primary Importance and ought so
to be regarded in the selection and ad
vancement of members of the teaching
force, and that the influence of Inspir
ing and stimulating Instruction on the
undergraduates is even greater In the
freshman year than at any later time.
and that this fa-t ought to be recog
nised In the assignments and. if neces
sary. In the salaries paid."
The argument that Is being used by
those who are In favor of committing
the alumni to providing the money for
the payment of the sauarles is that by
this arrangement the increased expenses
from year to year could more easily be
met than by the increasing number of
alumni than in any other way. It is
argued that alumni generally are more
Interested In the salary question than
In any other one question at Yale, and
that it would be easier to raise large
sums of money for this purpose than
for general university purposes.
Such arrangement would also leave
no room for criticism of the Yale offi
etals on the part of graduates on the.
salary iasue as that feature of Tale's
expenditures would be in the hands of
the graduates themselves. In the event
of some plan of this kind being adopted
and the un4verslty being relieved of the
financial burden of providing funds for
the payment of salaries, the question of
new buildings and of other improve
ments would be up to the university and
not to the graduates.
"In order to swing such a scheme.'"
as one Yale graduate said to-day, "It
would be necessary to Increase very ma
terially the num'jer of subscribers to th
YaHe alumni fu ie Most of the big fish
are, of course, in the pond now, but it
would be imperative to get out after
the little fellbws."

Century Theatre ! to be occupied this
season by the great spectacle of "Aph
rodite." In Kplfe of the successful ar
rangements for scenery and costumes,
the ballet and the choruses, there are
other essentials tc such a production.
Just now Mr. Get Is wondering where
he will find the actress to play the title
role.
"I have heard of managers." he said,
"with stars on their hands and no plays
for them. That situation Is common
enough, but to have the play and no
actress Is rare. The title role Is ex
tremely difficult. It needs a combina
tion of many qualities. For that reason
I have adopted the novel plan that goes
Into effect this week.
With the assistance of his sssoelstes,
Mr. Oest will make a whlrlWInd tour
of the country to Investigate the many
summer stock companies In the large
cities. The country will be so divided
that each of the manager's representa
tives will have a certain number of cities
to report on. Every one Is to bear In
mind what the actress must be to repre
sent adequately the leading role In ths
drama.
Indeed, that Is In a measure their
watchword. Mr. Gest Impressed It on
all of them. What they nre looking for
in the rank of the stock companies
In Nashville. Denver, Milwaukee end
Seattle Is, to quote the manager, "a
young Mary Garden."

Without mentioning how many actors
were exhausted by playing opposite
Louis Mann In "Friendly Enemies'' at
the Hudson Theatre other Interesting
statistics are supplied by the manage

for flfly-two weeks, which made an
average of $13,000. and this record Is
said to be approached only by "Within

the play throughout the United States
durinu this period without diminishing
the number ot visitors at the play here.
Six Old Bitla were seen last winter In
the various companies that played "The

was more siwcesfful than De Wolf Hop

the only comedian to carry on In the

embodiment of the hero, will devote
himself to (preparing for productlot.

first In October.
Walter Jordan has gone to London to
see if there are any new plays there
likely to be successful over here, and
will look with especial care on the new
Plnero musical play founded on "Dandy
Dick."
Persevering purveyors of musical com
edy are still hard at work for the sake
of the dear public. Cecil Lean is to be

Frank Mandel and Edward Psulton.

of William Harris.
Lawrence Shubert yes, he's a cousin
will soon produce the first play written
