Notifies Schools Os Minimum Wage Dr. Clement T. Malan, state superintendent of public instruction, has notified all school administratois of the new state law pertaining to th * minimum salary schedule for teachers, which ranges from a minimum of $l4O per month for teachers without previous experience who have not more than 89 w eks of training to a maximum of $1212.50 for teachers with 18 years of experience and 180 or more weeks of training. The law is effective for all contracts in force as of August 1, 1945, and all contracts made thereafter . Dr. Malan points out that the monthly salary prevails, except, that no public school teacher shall receive less than sl,200 per annum. Another notification sent by Dr. Malan to all school administrators pertains to the new state law concerning school bus transportation, which is now effective. It provides that trustees may contract with school bus drivers either by negotiation or by bidding, and that trustees must, advertise in three pufblic places and at least once in each of two newspapers of opposite political faith, for both negotiated contracts and for bidding. Negotiations may begin not later than 10 days after the close of the school term and continue not to exceed 45 days, .but contracts may be Jet at any time. Trustees do not need to wait until May and June.

By the new law the school bus driver is penalized for not. attending official safety meetings called by the state superintendent of public instruction and the superintendent of state police. Other provisions of the new school Ibus transportation law, largely reiterate provisions of old laws pertaining to the transportation of school children. o Former Justice Os Supreme Court Dead iSan Diego, Calif., March 23 — (UP)—John Hessin Clarke, 86, retired justice of the United States supreme Court and one of the foremost supporters of U.
