Des Moines, June Ex-Governor Shaw
on Wednesday approved the new salary
schedules made by the state board OF
control for the state institutions. The
board has made several important
changes in this schedule 1t covers the
salary list for the ensuing year.
Among the changes is the addition of
50, 900 for the next nine months at the
schol for the deaf and dumb at Council
Bluffs. OF this, s15O per month for nine
months will go for new teachers there.
Recently the board has begun 30 feel
the same competition with which the
other state educational institutions
| have had to deal-the demand from out
side for the talent which is developed
in the Iowa schools.
Another important addition to the
salary list contemplates the employ
ment of twenty-nine instead OF nineteen
I walters for the Soldiers Home. Nothing
done by the board during It's incum-
as the substitution Of women for men in
the dining room service of the state in
stitutions. This and the maintenance
of exact equality as to salaries between
the men and women employed in the in
4 stitutions have done much to popularize
4 the board. In addition to the employ
ment of ten additional walters at the
Soldiers Home, the board has advanced
!. the salary of the matrOn Of the wom-
ems hall there. A telephone attendant.
who is also member of the home is to
be employed at IS per month and BOARD.
The board has increased the wages OF
the cottage matrons at the Orphans
: Home at Davenport from $22 to $25 per
: month. with living. This was not asked
/, by the matrons, who were gratefully
surprised when they We're notified OF the
r increaes in wages. The board has be-
: come we'll acquainted with the people
, employed in the institutions now, and as
a rule is quite able to determine who
should be advanced and who should no,.
a However, the board is now paying the
a maximum of salaries and keep WITHIN
: bounds. Without more allowance from
e the legislature, it finds it impossible to
t advance salaries.
n This is the situation with reference to
: keeping school open to exceed seven
|, months at yinton and Council Bluffs.

: ule and the expenditure of the apropri-
