■JOINTING OF f?UBLIC TUTORS IS UP JUNE 9 School Board Plans Special Meeting Resolution for Bond Issue Passed. O. K. NEW SALARIES All teachers for the public schools of the city for 1921-1922 will be appointed at a special meeting of the board of school commissioners to be held tne afternoon of Thursday June 9 at 4 o'clock. At the regular meeting of the board last night E. U. Graff, superintendent of schools, submitted a complete list of teachers recommended by him and the entire matter 'will be taken np at the special session. On recommendation of the finance committee the board approved the new salary schedule for grade sehool teachers, which provides for a maximum salary of $1,900, Instead of SI,BOO as Is the case at present, 'fhe full efficiency maximum 1* $2,000 a lyear, but this amount will not be paid to :eachers filling the requirements until the school year of 1922-1923. Contracts for teachers selected at the special meeting. of the board on June 9, will be figured on the new salary schedule. An echo of the wrangle last week when the board went over the head of Its own finance committee and ordered the business director to prepare a resolution for advertising for bids for a bond issue of $487,000 for repairs and additions at Schools Nos. 62, 16, 36 and 3S was heard last night when the resolution was presented for adoption. BARRY OBJECTS TO PBOCEDIRE. "I am in favor of the buildings and in favor of financing their construction properly,” Charles L. Barry, member of the finance committee, said, “but on account of the irregular and illegal procedure leading up to this and the manner In which it was bandied I do not care to participate in any proceedings in regard to this resolution.” W. D. Allison, chairman of the finance committee, expressed himself as not caring to take part In deciding the matter and frankly said that he believed the large delegation of citizens living In the ■vicinity of School No. 62 that was on band last week was “staged for the purpose of forcing the finance committee to take snap action In the matter.” FIVE DO NOT CAST VOTES. Mr. Allison did not charge any Individual with having staged the demonstration, but immediately Bert S. Gadd was on his feet. “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me,” he repeated several times, although there had been no accusation made against him. Finally the resolution was passed with Julia Belle Tutewller, Mr. Gadd and Clarence E. Crippln. Mr. Allison and Mr. 3arry not voting. The proceeds of bonds, which will draw Interest at the rate of 5 per cent an- ' nually, will be used for construction of new buildings and remodeling as follows: School No. C 2, $200,000; school No. 16. $203,000; school No. 36. $242,000; school No. 3S, $200,000. Bids will be received July 7 at 2 o’clock. As the result of a report made to the Parent-Teacher Association of Shortridge High School recently by a special committee appointed by that organization, in which it was demanded that no further improvements be made at Arsenal Technical or Emmerich Manual Training High Schools until something Is done toward building anew Shortridge at Thirty-Fourth and Pennsylvania streets, a committee of the board was appointed to confer with the committee of the association. When the matter came up Mr. Barry, who is a graduate of Shortridge, moved that the Shortrldge committee be invited to meet the board in conference but this was opposed by Mr. Gadd and Mr. Crippln. Finally a motion was adopted authorizing the ehair to select a committee. Mrs. Tutewller than named Mr. Crippln, Mr. Gadd and Ralph W. Douglass, business director. None of the committee ever attended Shortridge. I SCHOLARSHIP ! TEACHERS APPOINTED. I The appointment of eight teachers selected for the Gregg and Beigmiller scholarships was announced by Superintendent Graff. These scholarships provide for summer courses for the teachers selected. Winners of the Gregg scholarships are: Anna Heidergott, school No. 22- Louise Wheeler, school No. 33: Anna Wheeler, school No. 31; Mabel Asher, school No. 41; Margaret Kiefer, school No. 2; Lillian Bohns tad t, school No. 2, and Helen O’Gara, school No. 5. The announcement carried with it the recommendation that if sufficient money remained from the fund of $1,600 that an additional scholarship be awarded to Cora Burris, school No. 5L The Seigmiller scholarship was awarded to Miss Mary Johnson, art teacher at school No. 43. Mr. Graff annonneed the following changes In the teaching staff: Resignations, Julia Bretzman and Agues Lustlg. Appointments: Kate Morrison and Hope Bedford, elementary; Ethel Ealy, part time teacher; John Haines, assistant in the chemistry department at Shortridge High School; Elizabeth Hoyle, assistant In the art department at Shortridge. A committee consisting of Mr. Gadd, Mr. Douglas and L. A. Snider, building adviser, was appointed to investigate the need of a deeper excavation for foundation at School No. 5, Washington and California streets. The architect had reported that the peculiar condition of the soil made it advisable to excavate an Fdditiona' foot or more for the foundation of the new building now under construction. WILL CONTINUE USING MERIDIAN HEIGHTS CHURCH. It was decided that next year the board will continue to use the Meridian Heights Church at Central avenue and Forty-Sixth street for school purposes in connection with school No. 70. The advisability of using old School No. 22, at Arizona and Chestnut streets, as a shop for the department of buildings and grounds, was referred to a committee composed of Mr. Allison. Mr. Gadd, Mr. Douglas. Mr. Snider and C. W. Eurton, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Beginning Sept. 1, the board will take over the work of the School Lunch Association and will operate the entire system. This recommendation had been made by the association. Building Advisor Snider was directed to confer with Herbert Foltz, architect of the proposed Potter Fresh Air School, In regard to a number of suggested changes in the plans. IT WILL TEACH STUDENTS TEN COMMANDMENTS. On recommendation of the instruction committee the request of Mrs. Elizbeth Walcott made at a meeting of the board several weeks ago that the Ten Commandments be taught in the school In connection with Bible readings was granted. This will be begun when the new school year opens in September. During the coming year it was decided that courses in appreciation and vocational inueic will be given as recommendefi by Edward B. Birge, director of music in the schools, it being understood that this will not necessitate adding more than three full time teachers to the music department. Charles E. Rush, librarian, reported that Myron Harding, part time assistant in the catalog department, had resigned. A communication from Grace Shook, secretary of the Parent-Teacher Association of School No. Cd, asking that a print shop and sewing department bo established at that school, was referred to the committee on instruction and Superintendent Graff. , s

sloofiOO PAYMENT MADEONCJL DEBT More Paid in Interest Than Building Cost. After using the taxpayers money in paying only the interest on money borrowed to build the Marlon County Court House instead of taking up the bonds, the county commissioners now are starting to make payments. County Auditor Leo K. Kesier has paid SIOO,OOO to local banks as payment on refunding bonds issued a year ago. This is the first payment to be made on the actual cost of building the 5900,000 court house. Since 1872, the county commissioners and the auditor have paid a total of $1,700,000 as Interest on the bonds. The county officials have paid more

The Truth About Indianapolis FLOUR BAG CLOTH WEAVING and bleaching 4,200 miles of flour bag cloth in a year brings to an Indianapolis bleaching and weaving company the distinction of being the largest flour bag cloth bleacher in the United States. The product in turn is used in this and other cities by subsidiary companies for the manufacture of flour bags, all plants being a part of a large syndicate engaged in this type of manufacturing. High run for the Indianapolis flour bag cloth manufacturing company has been 77,400,000 yards of cloth, varying from 26 to 56 inches in width. Cotton from Tennessee, equal to the production from 10,000 acres and weighing 3,009,175 pounds, was used last year by the company. Fifty carloads of special English china clay for the filling of the cloth were used in 1920. In the manufacture of this cloth 450 men and women are employed in normal periods. In hundreds of homes dishes are dried with the cloth manufactured in Indianapolis after the filling has been removed from it.

PROBLEMS OF The By-Product Coking Business 6.—What Is Domestic By-Product Coke? Some people who are not familiar with the manufacture of coke have assumed that the coke which we sell as domestic fuel (about 25% as explained yesterday) is merely refuse coke. There Is this much to Justify such an assumption: Domestic coke Is a by-product in the manufacture of Foundry Coke. But so also Is gas and other valuable products of such an operation. A ton of coal cannot be converted Into a ton of Foundry Coke. Asa matter of fact less than a half-ton Is usually produced. But all of the other products of the ton of coal are valuable. Domestic Coke Is obtained by removing from the total coke product the smaller sizes and certain softer pieces which do not have the strength required for foundry practice. Much of the smaller material is suitable for many uses besides domestic fuel, and the softer pieces are entirely suitable for blast furnace uses as well. In the preparation of Domestic Coke the material described above Is crushed and sized to meet the requirements of various kinds of appliances used in homes. Now if Domestic Coke were not produced as a by-product of the highest grade of Foundry Coke, It would not be as good afuel as C-.at which we sell. To meet the requirements of the most exacting foundry trade we must use coal of the very best coking quality. Two or more kinds of coal are blended. They must be very low in ash and sulphur, and the ash must be non-metallic and fusible only at very high temperatures. Such coals are not only more expensive than many others at the mines, but bear higher freight rates as well. WITHOUT A MARKET FOR PREMIUM FOUNDRY COKE IT WOULD BE IMPOSSBILE TO USE SUCH COALS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF DOMESTIC FUEL. Thus it appears that the domestic fuel buyer and the producer are equally benefited by the manufacture of Domestic Coke as a byproduct of Foundry Coke. The former by being able to obtain a fuel which Is very high In fixed carbon at a price which is seldom above the bare cost of the coal out of which It is made; the company by being able to select its metallurgical coke with care and yet have a market for its remaining coke. Not all of this remainder has to be converted Into domestic fuel. Not all of it should be. But It Is to the interest of the company to maintain and extend its markets for Domestic By-Product Coke by all reasonable means. CITIZENS GAS COMPANY

but they have not yet taken any definite decision in the matter. The government's refusal to grant a wage increase to the employes of the various departments was announced after several days' deliberation. The clerks occupied the offices but refused to do any work. The teachers in the schools which are under government supervision deserted their desks. No serious disorders had been reported. T. O. R.
