MANY TEACHERS
SALARIES RAISED
At Special Meeting of the School
Board the Teachers Were Located
and Their Salaries Fixed-Other
Business Transacted.

The school board met in special ses-
sion Saturday night. The principal
business done was the locating Of
teachers and fixing their salaries. and
the adoption of a Couree Of study for
the High school All of the directors
were present Only one bid was re-
ceived for the furnishing of coal. 1t
was fom the Delaware and Hudson
company and read as follows: Egg
coal S2.15 at the chutes, $325 delivered /;
stove coal, the same; chestnut coal.
the same; pea coal s1.9O al the Chutes,
$40 delivered. on motion Of Mr..
Evans the bid was rejected. The re-
lection Of bids was due to the existence
of the Cartmens union, members of
which intimated that il would be
wrong for the school board to invite
the cutting of prices. 1t was thought
best to defer action on the matter. so
it was laid over till the next meeting.

THE FRENCH CENSUS.
Growing Scarcity of Children a
Source of Much Anxiety.

From the Philadelphia Ledger,
The French census returns have
again attracted the attention of the
world to the peculiar population prob
lem in the Republic. France is practi-
cally stationary in respect TO numbers,
and such a condition in comparison
with the rapid, steady growth of her
neighbors and rivals seems to indicate,
in effect, deCadenCe. From a military
point of view numbers mean strength,
and in France the increase of popula
tion from 1896 to 1901 was only $50 600.
Most of the increase was in Paris and
its environs, in which dwell large num-
bers Of foreignesr. The very slow
growth of France compared with other
European countries, during the past
half century, is strikingly shown in the
following table:
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-08-26

In fifty years of Austria Hungary's
population has increased 30 per cent;
Italy, 52 per cent; the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, "a
per cent; the vigorous German En-
pire, 90 per cent, while France gained
but 10 per cent, for the same period,
Ii should be noted that in the mean
time Great Britain has sent millions Of
its Inhabitants to Australia, the United
States and other lands; that great
numbers of Germans have yearly swell
led our ranks, and that the Italian eX-
odus is assuming large proportions,
while FrenChmen have been stay-at-
home people
The explanation is, of course that
small families in France have become
the rule. The annual excess of births
over deaths in Italy is between 100000
and 100000, The excess in France is
about $4,000. and in 1895 the deaths
exceeded the births by 1873 This is
an explanation that does not explain,
and the real question is, why have the
families become small?
