RETIREMENT FUND AIDS 260 FORMER :

. SCHOOL TEACHERS By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 22 More than two hundred and sixty former school teachers in Indiana schools are receiving annuities or other assistance from the State Teachers' Retirement Fund at the present time, according to Estes Duncan, secretary. The cost of providing for the teachers retired because of old age or disability is approximately $160,000 a year at the present time, it was added. There is approximately $500,000 in the treasury at the present time, Mr. Duncan said. Between 9,500 and 10,000 teachers in the state are paying into the retirement fund this year, it wa3 pointed out, and this will amount to $275,000 or $300,000. A bill is before the Indiana General Assembly at the present time to abloish the office of secretary and place the administration of the fund in the hands of the state superintendent of public instruction. Effective June 1The present state teachers' fund law became effective on June 1, 1921, and provides annuities to teachers who have served for 25 years. It also provides for financial assistance for instructors who can no longer work because of disability. The teachers of Indiana pay annually into the retirement fund on a grad uated scale, the amount depending upon the age of each instructor at the time of entering the service. For instance, a teacher 18 years old when entering the service is required to make an annual contribution into the fund of $32.45. while a person 19 years old is required to pay $34.06 a year. The peak, however, is reached at 2 years of age. when $35.77 must be paid. From then on the amount required decreases until a teacher 40 years old when entering the school system has to pay only $18.04 a year. After ten years' service, Mr. Duncan pointed out, any teacher who quits the profession in Indiana may withdraw all the money he has paid into the fund and receive along with it t percent compound interest. The cost of operating the fund paid by the state, Mr. Duncan said. ....Miss Sarah Swedener of Lvnn. spent Thursday night with Miss Florence Boren, at the home of Dr. and Mrs. C. E.
