LOW WAGES The
CAUSE or SCARCITY
OF SCHOOL MA ANS
Higher Salaries Will Produce
Teachers, Says Dakota
Educator.

EVatertown. $. d., Dec. %. 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 public
instruction. declared that the average
low wages paid public school teachers
was responsible for the shortage in the
profession throughout the state, ana
not the increased severity ut the exam
nations as has been generally supposed
TO be the cause.
He said South Dakota needs over
5000 teachers to keep her schools open.
Only 3,67l persons wrote the fall eX-
aminations for teachers certificates,
and it took three calls 10 get this many,
and In the end 43 per cent failed. The
situation is desperate, and the trouble
Is with the wages. He safd:
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 S25 and
$50 per month They thought II was
good money. The salary thus fixed
remained low until very recently, and
ii is not now high enough TO attract
teachers from the ranks OF stenogra-
pliers, clerks and hotel Mattresses.
In some parts of the state they are
offering from S35 TO $40 a month for
n three months term. Think Of It! The
average term the state over is a tritie
under seven months. which at $40 per
month Is $3.50 q year. Teachers are
forced to pay about 81 per week for
board. also institute expenses, and 9TH
er smaller items. What has the teacher
left at the end of the year2
II wish / could make every school
officer i'm the state hear me that we
are crippling our educational system by
our niggardly pay for what should be
some OF the highest and would soon
become the highest skilled labor in thG
state"

$4,000 DAMAGE,

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 23.-Mayor
Frank NJ. Pillsbury. of this city, has
been made the defendant in suit for
damages in the sum of $4,000, the
plaintiff being Mark ID. Scott, editor
of the Sioux Falls Journal, a local

The commencement OF this action
grows out Of the recent acquittal of

was preferred against him by Mayor
PillsbuTy. 1t is probable the damage
suit will be tried at the next regular
term of state circuit court, which

leges that the charge of criminal libel
made against him by Mayor Pillsbury
injured his good name and reputation,

a judgment in the sum OF $4,000 for
the injury done him by the mayor.

CAN0VA BANK LOSES
$1,000 BY ROsBERY

Canova, s. D., Dec. 21.-While the Of
ficials OF the bank refuse To say any
thing with reference to the matter, it
is reported on apparently good author
ity that the CanOva bank, which a few
weeks ago was robbed i'm sensational
manner by five or six expert cracks
men, will suffer a loss OF about 81 300
above the amount OF the insurance car
ried The robbers secured over SO, 600
I'm cash from the safe which they
wrecked with nitroglycerf.
II appears that while the banks loss
was fully covered by insurance, there
was 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 81 300 was
locked i'm the safe outside of the money
chest, and this sum the insurance COM
pany refuses to make good under the
clause referred 10.
