TEACHERS COST THREE MILLION FOR SALARIES (Continued From Page One.) where the salary limit was fixed by State law and was changed the year following In the matter of salaries for high sAool teachers, five cities had a lower minimum than Indianapolis, but none had as low a maximum. At that time teachers in the grades, were drawing from SSOO to $975 a year while high school teachers drew from 3900 to $1,460 a year. ' Other cities of the same grade were paying at that time' as high as $1,620 for grade school teachers and as high as $3,000 for high school teachers. The total amount of money paid to teachers annually at that period was about $1,200,000. or about 66 2-3 per cent of the total maintenance budget, exclusive of capital expenditures, such as for buildings, etc. Teachers’ salaries were advanced in little niggardly Jumps of $25 and SSO a year. As one school official expressed it in, summing up the situation. “That salary schedule was arranged not for the purpose of giving the teachers mope money, but for the express purpose of keeping them from getting it." It meant that a young* woman Just out of high school and desiring to take up teaching as a profession would spend two years at a college preparing herself and then, after all the expenditure of time and money necessary to equip herself for the JpaChing profession she would be given a position at the general salary of S3OO a year, which was almost half as much as a stenographic debutante, fresh from a three months course in a good business college, could command. Then if this teacher was faithful to her trust she had the inspiring outlook of being able at some far distant date in the future to rise to dixzy financial heights of $975 a year maybe. Os course under these condition a decline in the morale of the teaching force was inevitable as was a falling off in the standards of the schools themselves. Teachers began to drift away to Columbus, Ohio, Denver, Kansas City and other cities where their ability was more appreciated and better remunerated than in Indianapolis. However, in the last three years that condition has been remedied to a great extent. Today the school city is spending $3,000,000 a year on its 1,350 teachers as against $1,200,000 on about 1,000 teach ers in 1918. The old SSOO minimum for grade school teachers has been succeeded by a $1,200 minimum, which is more than the old maximum of $975 and the maximum salary provided by the schedule, which., by the way, is being drawn by 333 teachers, is now $1,900. The same improvement has been mede in the schedule of high school salaries where the minimum has been increased from S9OO to $1,500 and the maximum from $1,600 to $2,800. Eighty of the 300 high school teachers are now drawing the maximum of $2,800 a year. By the new schedule adopted by the board recently teachers In the grades are entitled to an automatic increase of ; SIOO a year and high school teachers, $l5O until a certain limit is reached. Indianapolis now ranks, in point of j salaries paid its teachers, at the top of the list of Indiana schools and compares very favorably with other cities of its i class throughout the United States, although there still is room for improvement In certain special Instances.

TEACHERS APPLY FOR JOBS HERE. As the result of this increase in teachers’ salaries school officials of the city are enjoying the novel sensation of having teachers of high standing In other cities applying for positions In our schools, instead of facing a flock of resignations every year from among the best of the teaching staff at the close of every school year. The result inevitably will be a Txettcr standard of scholarship in the schools. In some quarters there has been a marked tendency to criticixe the board for these increases on the ground that it necessitates additional expenditures. Os this there is no question, but the answer is so plain that even the blindest opponent of school expenditures must be able to see it, and that is the object of the public schools to instruct, and in order to instruct there must be instruction, and high grade insyuetlon cannot be obtained unless the instructors are paid salaries commensurate with their ability. Had the old policy of ridiculously low salaries been pursued a few years longer it would have resulted in nothing less than disaster for the public school system of Indianapolis. Now that the salaries have been increased the board of school commissioners is perfectly willing to assume all the credit for it. Asa matter of fact, however, the teachers themselves waged a long, hard, bitter fight, in which they did not at all times have the support of the board for these increases. Teachers who for years have looked forward and fought for better salaries point out that at various times during the struggle teachers taking too active a part In the movement found themselves out of jobs. The fiasco of last year, when one of the most popular teachers at Arsenal Technical High school, both among the teaching staff and the student body, was turned out without any reason or explanation, although the school board spent several highly entertaining but non-productive evenings trying to convince the League of Women Voters that an ‘“answer” was a “reason," is pointed out by many as an example of this character. The teacher in question had been an officer in the World War and came out with a splendid record for handling men. But he also was an ardent supporter of the teachers’ organization and higher salary movement. A number of his most active friends on

THE “HEAL-ALL” OF THE INDIANS There is an herb which grows wild on our Western Plains known as “Manzanlta” and to which the Indians attribute wonderful curative and healing virtue. There is no question but that nature has bounteously provided in the roots and herbs of the field a remedy for many of the ills to which human flesh is heir. This is demonstrated by the wonderful success of that root and herb medicine. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. which for more than forty years has been relieving women of America from some of the worst forms of female ills. It will certainly pay any woman who so suffers to try it.—Advertisement.

Sentenced to Be Good Husband for Seven Long Years MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 29. Guiseppe Fabbrini will be a good husband for seven years, or go to jail. Judge Molyneaux, after acknowledging the marriage of Fabbrini and a violin pupil he had wronged, told the musician he would have to love, honor and cherish the girl and care for her as a husband shopld, for seven years. If the probatloy officer finds that the relationship is unsuccessful. Fabbrini; must go to jail.

the teaching staff found themselves holders of temporary contracts instead of the permanent appointments formerly held by them. But whether the board far slghtedly saw that higher salaries were needed, or whether it followed where others led is really of minor lnportance. The real point at issue is that today the school teachers of Indianapolis, through the action of the school board, voluntary or otherwise, are drawing salaries fitting for the big work they are called upon to do In Indianapolis. No longer are they expected to assume the responsibility of training the youth of the city, the men and women of a few years to come, on a basis little better than charity. This will mean better schools and better children and already the results are becoming decidedly apparent in the public schools.

The matter of the sale of the* old Library building, now used by the school board as its headquarters, was discussed at some length as was the sale of other vacant or unused school properties. The general opinion of the board aeemed to be that while a sale is desirable If the right prioe can be obtained, the board first should be assured of suitable quarters into which to move. It was stated that the present appraised valuation of the property is $390,000. which is considerably less than the figures for last year. During the discussion Mrs. Julia Belle Tutewiler president of the board said that when the new Shortridge High school building is’ erected at Pennsylvania and Thirty-Fourth streets that it might be advantageous to make use of some of the buildings now occupied by Shortridge, particularly if the war memorial plaxa proposition goes through. A request from R. Walter Jarvis, city director of recreation, for the use of one rom in each of five school buildings and also the pianos in those buildings, was refered to Mr. Dougless and Mr. Graff, with instructions to find out exactly what

A Gruelling Test Proves OILDAG O | Def locculated I PLUS Acheson L f Graphite Is the World’s Best Lubricant i Starting from 58 West New York street yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock a Marmon Sedan and a Pierce-Arrow car, with the oil drained from their motors, were driven 18 7-10 miles through Indianapolis streets. The amazing achievement was made possible by the GRAPHOID SURFACE formed from using OILDAG. What Is OILDAGf OILDAG is colloidal graphite, an invention by Dr. Acheson, the inventor of carborundum; held in suspension in a high-grade lubricating oil. This ultra microscopic graphite amalgamates with the. cylinder walls, bearings, etc., and forms a graplioid surface which reduces friction to a minimum. Mr. Chester Ricker, Technical Aepresentative, Indianapolis Speedway, who was officially in charge of this test yesterday, makes the following statement “This is to certify that under my personal supervision the lubricating systems and crank cases of a Marmon Sedan ahd a Pierce-Arrow Roadster were completely drained; and the cars were then operated through the streets of Indianapolis for a distance of 18.7 miles without oil. At the end of the run both motors were cool and apparently running in perfect condition. The Marmon engine was torn down and found to be perfectly normal as regards wear and mechanical condition; the graphoid surface produced by the use of Oildag having apparently prevented damage to bearing surfaces throughout the motors. “It is self-evident thf.t the graphoid surfaces must be frictionless to enable a motor to perform this extraordinary feat.’’ Signed, CHESTER S.
