The New Law Of Wages for Teachers.
The Legislature of Indiana has made
some serious blunders in its proceedings
of the past winter. In attempting to
amend the law governing teachers
wages 1t has made mess of 1t. The
law provides:
That the daily wages of teachers for
teaching in the public schools and
be less than any amount determined by
the multiplying two and one half cents
by the general average of scholarship
and success given the teacher on the
highest grade of license at the time of
contracting; provided that only the
general average of scholarship shall be
used in determining the wages of
beginning teachers.
On the face of it, this law looks as if
IL might be beneficial to the school
interests But here Is how it works:
Five teachers in the public schools of
this city, young and largely mex
perienced, earned lsst year S32 per
month. Three of them would have
been glad to have returned ct q slight
advance, and, taking age and expert
ence into view, were getting good
wages. The highest percentage on ex.
animation was 9S $40; this multiplied
by 2ll cents for each percent raised
their wages to 1926, S125 more than
several teachers who had been in the
employ Of the schools for years, and
whose experience is worth ten times
II at of younger teacher. The iDJus
tice of such q law makes itself mani
fest by such illustrations. The law
makes it q penal offense to give these
teachers less than S4y.25 per month
Other teachers, whose experience and
teaching qualities have proved them
selves by years of watchfulness, com
msnd much less salary, and IL the two
were placed side by side as to theiI
merits would receive higher wages
than the fret.
Another mistake of the law is that Il
will compel school authorities to refuse
employment to inexperienced teachers
from the very fact that girl or boy
lust out of school can pass q mucf
better examination on technical studies
than can q teacher who has been EN-
pIoyed on special branches to the neg
Iect of other branches. but whose
experience has made their services
valuable.

NO MAN Is STRONGER
Than HIS STOMACH.

The stomach is the vital center of the
body. 1t is the organ from which all
other organs are fed. A weak stomach
means a weak man. There never was a
strong man with a weak stomach What
is called "weak stomach is i'll general a
diseased condition of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
which prevents the proper digestion of
the food which is taken into the stom-
ach, and so reduces the nutrition of the
body. When all food is taken away the
body starves. When the food eaten is
only digested and assimilated in part it
only nourishes the body in part, and so
the body is partly starved And this
starvation is felt in every organ of the
body dependent on the blood which is
made from food.
The great variety of the cures per
formed by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is due to its remarkable
power to heal diseases of the stomach
and allied organs. 1t cures through the
stomach diseases seemingly remote, but
which have their origin i'll a diseased
condition of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition

ness of other organs is cured with the
