MUCH TYPHOID
MORE CASES THIS MONTH
THAN EVER BEFORE.
But Health Board Is Not Worried.
People Can't Be Too Careful
in August.

Twenty three cases of typhoid fever
have been reported to the Board OF
Health so far this month, showing a
large increase in the number of cases
for this month over previous years.
and being an increase of nearly 20 per
cent. over the last two years, with six
days of the present month left.
The health officials are not worried
over the increase, as they say there is
no danger of an epidemic of the dread
disease. The sanitary precautions in
the milk inspection and other depart
ments minimizes the danger of the
spread Of typhoid greatly. Most of
the cases are slight, and but few fatali-
ties are expected There were twenty
two cases in July 1904; fifteen cases in
July, 1906, and only eleven cases in
July of last year.
Chicago has been fighting a typhoid
epidemic this summer, and under the
date of July 20 the bulletin of the Chi
cago Board of Health contains the fol-
lowing advice from the chief medical
Inspector and the advice and sugges-
tlon can be applied locally:
This is the season when the city dweller
leaves the comfort and safety of his home
and in pursuit of rest and happiness in
the country eats and drinks things infected
with typhoid fever germs and is bored into
by hungry mosquitoes frequently loaded
with malaria germs. These seekers after
rest and happiness are liable to drink poll
luted surface water lakes and streams.
Open wells are often Infected with TYPHOID
fever germs, and are among other sources
Of TYPHOID fever.
I'VE do not wish to frighten the rest
seeker or in any way mar his happiness
while taking a mueh-needed vacation; but
we wish to warn him against drinking
typhoid-fever germ polluted water or milk.
Each year In August there Is an increase
In typhoid-fever cases, and the investga-
tions show that about one-fourth of all
our city cases are contracted In the coun-
try. where the victim mas been spending
his summer vacation.
Typhoid fever is pneventabIe disease.
The water, ice. milk and raw vegetable
supplies are the most frequent sources OF
typhoid fever infection. In the presence of
discharges from a typhoid fever patient
flies may carry infection to your food and
drink There Is safety In boiled waters
Pasteurized milk and cooked vegetables.

BIG INCREASES
FOR SCHOOL
TEACHERS
Generous recommendations
Made to Be Acted on by
Board Tomorrow

The salary schedule of the public
school teachers and principals of this
city was definitely decided on at the
meeting of the teachers committee of
the Board of Education yesterday
afternoon, a general increase being
granted to most all the teachers. With
several changes from the schedule, as
prepared at the special meeting of the
committee last week. 1t win be sent to
the board for approval tomorrow night.
All the advances are to so into effect
on September 1.
Dr. Addison B. Poland, Superinten-
dent of Schools, viii receive $1,000 per
year, an advance of $500, and David b.
Corson, assistant superintendent, $1,000.
will be raised from $500.
Wayland e. Stearns, principal of the
High School, will receive 5000 in
crease, from $4,000 to $4,000.
Chairman Frank Crissey raised the
question as to the justice of giving the
High School principal a larger salary
than the assistant superintendent, and
suggested that Mr.. Corson be given an
$500 raise, as at first was intended, so
as to put him on an equal basis with
Mr.. Stearns, but this the commissioners
thought unwse at the present time.
The largest increase of the year was
given TO Miss Hester B. Dean, secretary
OF the principal of the High School She
was raised from 81 900 to $1,000, and her
title changed to general assistant. IT
was pointed out that the increase will not
go into effect Immediately, but 1t VIII
take six years before the maximum Is
reached. at jumps of 500 per year.
Since the death of Miss Green, vice.
principal of the High School. Miss Dean
has practically filed that position, along
with her other duties. and as she holds
a certificate to teach in the High School
the increase is not considered by the
committee as being excessive
Comparisons of the salaries paid to
school officials in other cities shows that
Newark ranks eighth in the amount Of
salary paid to school superlntendents
sixth in assistant superintendents. fifth
In principals OF normal schools. and In
the paw of principals of High Schools is
second only to New York.
II Is pointed out that Newark ranks
high in the salary list OF the cities only
because number Of the cities, which
intend TO advance the salaries of the
school officials this year have not yet
taken such action. New York will in
crease the salaries $3000,000. and Chicago
and Boston will make substantial advances,
which will put Newark farther down the
list before September.
