WAGES the HE

OF SCHOOL MA'AMS
Higher Salaries Will PRODUCE
Teachers, Says Dakota
Educator.

Watertown, S. D., Dec. 23.-Speaking
before an audience of 200 school teach
erS and officers here Professor j. +. Or
lander, of Pierre, chairman of the state
examining board, department OF pubhc
instruction, declared that the average
low wages paid public school teachers
was responsible for the shortage in the
profession throughout the state, and
not the increased severity of the Xan-
nations as has been generally supposed
to be the cause.
He said South Dakota needs owe
5000 teachers to keep her schools open.
Only 3,671 persons wrote the fall ex-
%aminations for teachers certificates
and it took three calls to get this many
and in the end 43 per cent failed. The
situation is desperate, and the trouble.
is with the wages. He said:
Origin Of Trouble.
you will have to go back to about
1893 to find the starting point OF the
present shortage. On account of the
hard times many went into teaching
at the prevailing low wages Of SIS and
$50 per month. They thought it was
good money. The salary thus fixed
remained low until very recently, and
it is not now high enough to attract
teachers from the ranks of stenogra-
piers, clerks and hotel mattresses.
In some parts Of the state they are
Offering from $35 to $40 a month for
q three months term. Think of it! The
average term the state owe is q trif1e
under seven months, which at $40 per
month is $3.50 a year. Teachers are
forced to pay abou 81 per week for
board, also institute expenses, and 9TH
er smaller items. What has the teacher
left at h end of the year?
II wish I could make every Gchool
officer in the state hear me that we

MASKED MEN KILL
800 HEAD OF SHEEP

Sheridan, Wyo., Dec. ga band
If eight or ten masked men descended
upon a sheep camp belonging to Wais-,
ner brothers, of Sheridan, killing 500
head and burned the camp wagon
and outfit. The herder was driven
away at the point of a rifle.
The sheriff was m from
here and followed the tracks of the
mounted raiders until they were
merged into q main thoroughfare,
when the trail was lost. While their
identity is not known. it is believed
they are the same men who COM
n,itted a similar outrage on another
Waisner amp a e ago. The CATTLE
men say the Washers have their
sheep en4the other side of the boun-,
dairy line agreed upon between cattle
and sheepmen. AS it is government
land, the Washers claim the right to
use 1t. The ranchmen of Powder riv-
er valley are very bitter against the
Waisners. who have 20 bands of sheep
in that locality.

ICANOVA BANK LOSES
$500 BY ROBBERY

Canova, S. D., Dec. 21.-While the Of
fcials of the bank refuse to say any
thing with reference to the matter, it
is reported on apparently good author
lty that the Canova bank, which a few
weeks ago was robbed in a sensational
manner by five or six expert cracks
men. will suffer q loss of about $1,000
above the amount of the insurance car
rled. The robbers secured over 5000
in cash from the safe which they
wrecked with nitroglycerin.
1t appears that While the banks loss
was fully covered by insurance, there
was a clause in the policy exempting
the insurance company from the loss of
any money which was not locked up
inside the money chest inside the safe.
At the time of the robbery $1,000 was
locked in the safe outside Of the money
chest, and this sum the insurance COM
pany refuses to max good under the
clause referred to,
