HAWORTH RESIGNS AS GEOLOGY HEAD
Professor Gives Too Meage Salary as Reason for Leaving Position at University
Has Been Here 18 Years
Graduated From K. U. in 188
And Returned 21 Years
Later as Faculty
Member
Prof. Erasmus E. Haworth, head of the department of geology at the University of Kansas since the fall of 1802 and former state geologist, will hand in his resignation to Chancellor Frank Strong tomorrow according to a statement in an interview late this afternoon. The prenation will take effect the latter j of June if it is accepted Professor芳愿 said.
The principal $r$ on for his resignation Professor worel said was because of the meen're salary paid to University faculty members. As a practical geologist Professor Haworth can receive from two to four times his University salary with the various big oil companies he has been working for over the week-end for the last few years.
"I intended to resign my position at the University two years ago," Professor Haworth said, "but the war conditions had so drastically degraded utility then and last year that I have until the present time to take action."
"I am getting along in years and want to have an appropriate nest-egg in a few years to keep myself and family in our latter years. I cannot lay up sufficient soil to grow your plant. I am receiving. I can make from two to four times my present salary by doing practical geology work for an oil company."
He said that with his resignation that will be handed Chancellor Frank Strong tomorrow of all the other interests he hoped would be given out to the public.
Professor Haworth, who is known among his students as well as other students of the University as "Daddy" Haworth spent his student days on Mount Oread from 1876 to 1881 and then came back to the University as a member of the faculty in 1902.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FERBUARY 26, 1920.
He believes that the present time will be the best chance he can possibly get to resign because of the change in chancellors at the university and the dean of the college in addition to the fact that the department of geology is in excellent condition with more than 700 students enrolled in the various courses at present, a faculty at the institution is recruited by a way different institution anywhere.
The geology courses here have been growing so rapidly in popularity the last few years that two more assistant instructors had to leave the department the year to take care of the great increase in enrollment.
TEACHERS ARE NEEDED
Many are Entering Other Professions; Wages Must Increase to Meet Demand
More than 1,000 additional teachers are now needed in Kansas according to Prof. W. H. Johnson, and there is no immediate prospect of getting them unless salaries are increased. Teachers cannot be paid because they will not voluntarily enter it unless they can be paid a more satisfactory wage.
Consequently Professor Johnson says "Salaries will undoubtedly be increased soon from 25 to 40 per cent due to increasing base raising up to the local level."
According to figures furnished the National Education Association, 140, 60 teachers in the United States left the schools to enter other employment so Kansas is apparently not it as bad a condition with regard to the teaching profession as other states.
Mav Lift Ban Friday
"If nothing happens, the ban will be lifted Friday night, said Dr. A W Clark, city health officer, today.
"There are no influenza cases among the University students, but twelve town cases have been reported since Wednesday morning. How many added infections over the recent reports and nothing alarming is expected."
Campus Inhabitants Drop In Population
Human beings are not the only ones who have suffered from the cold this winter. Near the center of the open space between Snow Hall and Fraser is a hole in the ground about two feet in diameter, covered with boards. For several years this hole has been the home of a family of toads, the number varying from two to twenty.
Either the "fliu" or the fuel shortage has caused a large number of deaths in the family in the past week. Two of the larger toads and three of the smaller ones have fallen to the ground because of their temperatures and five young ones are left to carry the reputation of the death.

RESIGNATION OF POLK IS LOOKED FOR SOON
New Secretary of State Will Assume His Duties At Once
Washington, Feb. 28—Confirmation of Brainbridge Colby as secretary of state may be made by the Senate, it was concurrent today. Meantime however, there will be nothing to prevent him taking his duties.
His conflation must wait until after the senate foreign relations committee has passed upon his qualification, members of the committee said today. It will be some time before this investigation can be started because Chairman Lodge of the committee is now engaged in the treaty fight and other members including McCumber, North Dakota; and Johnson, California; are absent for indefinite periods.
The Colby regime will be marked by important changes in this country's foreign policy especially toward Russia was thought like today. Lifting of the U. S. embargo against Soviet forces and more lenient attitude toward their country is believed to be one of the changes contemplated.

SPANISH PROFESSORS
NEEDED IN NUMBERS
Persons With A. B. Degrees are Preferred by Majority Of Schools
"Spanish teachers are in demand in large numbers in all parts of the United States", said Prof. Arthur Owen of the Department of Spanish Language instructors. Every spring requests for Spanish instructors are sent here, especially from the middle northern universities such as the University of Chicago, the University of Miami and the University of Minnesota."
"The University of Chicago has recently notified us that they have a number of teaching fellowships amounting to eight hundred and fifty dollars each, which they will give to men who have taken their A. B. Certificates in the field five hours while studying for their A. M. or Ph. D. degrees."
"one reason for this demand," said Professor Owen, "is that the number of students enrolled in the Spanish departments everywhere has greatly increased. In the University of Kansas the number of students taking foreign courses numbered and eighty nine to six hundred and ninety four in one year."
"Professor Weeks of Columbia University, formerly of the University of Missouri, who has placed more young teachers than any man in the country was recently asked to teach English. He was taught in a western school and replied that the schools had better take anyone that they could find as Spanish instructors were not to be had at any price Eighteen hundred dollars was offered for men with an A. B. degree or preferred by practically all of the colleges."
"In addition to the demand for college instructors there is a large demand for both men and women in these positions. The positions are open to persons with an A. B. degree. However it pays a man to take a year more of college work and prepare himself for the "addressed positions," said Profizer Owen.
"The demands for higher pay for all teachers seems to be having a good effect," said Prof. Owen, "however it also seems to be discouraging young men from going into the teaching profession. There are very few professions in which a man can get as good pay immediately after he has finished school as he can in the teaching profession."
