SALARIES TOO LOW TO APPEAL TO TEACHERS 100 County and City School Superintendents Give Opinion to Survey. MANY FUNDS SHALLOW

Salaries which must be offered by boards of education throughout the state are too low to attract high school teachers, is the consensus of opinion of more than 100 superintendents of county and city schools of Indiana. That statement was brought out in a surrey of conditions in Indiana high schools, conducted by E. B. Wetherow, high school inspector, made public today. The report includes a detailed sumyiary of all vacancies and the visible supply of high school teachers in the state. In answer to the question, “What in your opinion is the chief difficulty in filling vacancies in your city?'' flfcy-six city superintendents, or 72 per cent of them, said the salaries they must offer are too low to attract teachers. (Fifty county superintendents reported that the funds are insufficient to pay sal9ries asked by qualified high school [eachers. Reports from eighty-four county superintendents show that but 70 per cent of the high school teachers have been employed for the township and town high schools for the coming year. An additional 5 per cent can be employed from material In their own counyes. they estimate. MUST go OUTSIDE FIFED. The trustees must go outside their own communities to obtain the remaining 25 per cent of their teachers to fill the vacancies. Reports from seventy-eight city superintendents reveal the fact that 86 per • ent of the high school teachers have been employed for next year. None, they say, is available In the local districts. The other 14 per cent of the teaching staff remains to be filled by teachers brought in from outside the state. To fill all positions in city and rural high schools in the state 020 teachers must be employed. Approximately 3,450 teachers already have signed contracts. Superintendents say they believe about 800 teachers can be obtained by scouring the vicinities in which the schools are located. The various colleges, universities and training schools in Indiana have reported that 203 available, unemployed high school teachers, seventy-seven of whom are graduates. are in their schools this summer. If all these teacners are employed there .will still remain 730 vacancies for high school teachers in the state, with no visible supply to fill them. Marion county high school*, employing slxtjr-flve teachers, lack twelve Instructors to complete the teaching staff. The city of Indianapolis Is more formate, having practically every vacancy lied, according to Inspector Wetherow. ..REATEST NEED IN MARSHALL COUNTY. The greatest needs for teachers are in Marshall county, which employs fifty-seven teachers and needs twentvtwo of that amount and Huntington county, which lacks fifteen teachers to complete Its staff of forty-five. Many vacancies of the counties which employ small teaching staffs are but half filled. "There are two ways to get teachers for the schools," declared Inspector Wetherow. "Ono war Is for the state board of education to authorize Superintendent Hlr.es to Issue permits to teachers who are not at the present time fully qualified." “The other way is that the trustees and school boards to increase the salaries of the teachers to such a point a* may bring back former teachers who have gone into other and more profitable businesses.” The latter way Is practically impossible in view al the fact that there is a lack of money in the coffers of the school hoards. “Other states face a similar situation, oi there is not a great chance of securi :g out-of-state' Instructors." No quorum was available at a meetlug of state board of education yesterday and the discussion of the situation will confront the board at the next meeting, the tentative date of which has been set for next Tuesday.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

You remember In the last story that the old woman who flew in her basket across the sky and swept off the cobwebs with a broom had taken Fuss Junior for a ride, don’t you? And that they had been blown into a tree, where a little robin had his nest full of china blue eggs? Well, after that the old woman and Puss climbed down to the ground and the robin threw the basket down to them. Ami after that who should come by but Robin Hood and his merrie men. And they were all dressed in gneen, with great long bows and arrows, and, oh, dear me, they were a Jolly lot! And when they saw the old woman with her magic basket—for it must have been a magic basket to fly through the air, don’t you think so? —they said: “Old woman, we have often read about you in Mother Goose. We are delighted to meet you.” And then Fuss Junior stepped from behind the tree, where he had been hiding, and when Robin Hood saw him he said: "Puss in Boots Well, I declare!” and he he>d out his hand and shook our little traveler by the paw. “We have ofven read about your famous father,” said the bold robber, for

"Well, my little cat, how are yon?” aeked Robin Hood. Robin Hood was a robber, you know, and if you don't, you must read about him. And then the old woman asked Robin Hood to get her basket out of the tree. And after that she got Into It and sailed away. "T?p In the sky, ever so high. I’ll sweep the cobwebs off the sky.” And after that she disappeared, for the basket was going at a tremendous rate of speed. “Well, my little cat, whither are you bound?” “I’m seeking my fortune,” replied Fuss Junior. "Ha. ha!” laughed Robin Hood. "This Is a poor place to seek one's fortune. For my merrie men and I take good care

We must face tills fact, or spend our old age in a fool’s paradise. Monday I open my Lockhart Mill End Sale. To make this occasion stand out as a relief from high prices, I, the manager and originator of this unique business, must proclaim new messages of hope, and anew and different road to economy. The “Mill End” prices speak in a language all their own of the contributions of this business to the welfare of all who take advantage of the opportunities offered. For over twenty-two years the people of Indianapolis have thrilled and inspired me in my strange kind of business. Your wonderful patronge—the great crowds —whisper encouragement and confidence. This never fails to add renewed strength to my strenuous life. I have a staggering business problem to grapple with this year. I must continue to beat all former Lockhart Mill End Sales, and all Christmas store records. I know I can depend on my readers to accurately examine my offerings on which it is your duty to save.

that we And any fortunes which may happen to be in sight” So after that, Puss thought he might as well be going on his way. And with a bow to the robbers bold he started off and by and ' by lie came to a brook that was full of ] little silver fish. And the king fish bad ! a crown of gold on his head and tho j queen fish had a golden throne. And ! when they saw Puss they said: "Good day. Sir Cat. What brings you here?” And Puss replied: “I am seeking my fortune.’’ “Look In the bottom of this stream." said the king fish, "and you will find gold in plenty.” And sure enough, on the bottom of the stream was a thick layer of gold. And Puss filled his purse and went upon his way, and in the next story you shall hear more of his adventures. —Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.)

Archbishop Loses Battle on Divorce

LONDON, July 28.—An attempt by the lead of the Church of England, the archbishop of Canterbury, to prevent any divorced person whose wife or husband may be living from being remarried in any state church or chapel has been defeated.

Wants Boys Saved From Silly Girls

ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 28.—"One of tho most potent factors for ill In the future race lies In the silly girls,” declared Dean Victor C. Vaughan of the University of Michigan Medical school in a lecture

of St. Anthony With BRYANT J WASHBURN In lovely woman’s eyes lie had seven deadly sins—1. He lacked pep and he couldn’t dance. 2. His wildest revel was a stroll in the park. 3. He wore square-toed gaiters and a celluloid collar. 4. His clothes shone instead of his shoes. 5. At a pink tea he was a blue funk. 6. He never pressed his trousers or a lady’s hand. 7. All he knew of life he saw through his microscope. So his sweetheart turned him down, and to cure h's "sins” he turned to the chorus of “Tho Rajah’s Pet Wife.’’ Come and laugh till you’re weak at Anthony’s joyous “conversion.” With the Beautiful Dancer, Margaret Loomis, and a Festive Feast of Girls in Glad Attire!

Advanced engineering and finer manufacturing Four years ago the Marmon 34 introduced the light weight scientific construction which has since been a distinctive Marmon feature. The remarkable easy riding qualities of the New Series Marmon 34 arc in large measure due to this basic superiority of design. Having thus successfully stabilized design, Marmon engineers turned their attention to motor refinements. And in this they benefited enormously by their war-time experience in building aircraft engines. *< The results arc instantly apparent in the exceptional smoothness of performance which distinguishes the High Efficiency Motor of the New Scries Marmon 34. And this advanced engineering and fineness of workmanship have not only set new standards of performance, but also of long life. We shall consider it a privilege to give yon a demonstration.
