Teachers Paw lie Raised.


Des Moines.-That the new state
certificate law has done much
was pointed out by the State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction John F..
Riggs before the Northwestern Iowa
Teachers association in Fort Dodge.
It has resulted, he said. in increasing
the aggregate wages for Iowa school
teachers for the year ending July 1,
1907, In the sum of $398,39O.69. 1t
has increased the aggregate wages
for the two years ending last July,
$7S0.316.85. This new state law is
the one which abolished the custom
Of county superintendent granting
second and third grade certificates.
Now the teachers are given examine
lions In the various counties by the
superintendents from questions fur
nished from the office Of the state
superintendent The papers are then
examined by board Of examiners
appointed by the state superintendent
and certificates issued from the state
department. Superintendent Riggs
urges that the raising the standard
OF efficiency among teachers has had
the effect to raise the aggregate sal
airy OF teachers. He reports that now
country districts that formerly paid
but $50 per month for teachers gre
paying $50 and even more, with pros
poets for other increases.

Tomorrow began Harry's summer
vacation. and he had planned a
months pedestrian outing through the
wide ranch valleys and the farther
ranges. and this should set him up
again.
Now, however. as he walked along
he was bitterly absorbed in thoughts
other than his own needs. He passed
more than one acquaintance with a
stare Of nonrecognition. One of these
was the bishop, who turned an instant
to look after him. The bishop had seen
that look frequently of late and had
wondered If 1t betokened physical ILL
ness or mental unquiet. More than
once he had remembered, with sigh
the old whisper Of Harry Sanderson's
early wildness. But he knew youth
and its lapses, and he liked and re-
spected him. Only two days before,
on the second anniversary of Harry's
! ordination, he had given him for his
silken watch guard little gold cross
engraved with his name and contain

people on the opposite side of the

on Its front was painted in glaring

and the danger now seems to be large

reported over night. Four Of the

"A young man named Walters, who
was caught by the fire near Erke's
camp and who only escaped death by
lying In a little ditch, is almost crazed
by his sufferings and the horrors he
endured. He was also badly burned.
He was found wandering around by
Erke when that unfortunate man
went back to his camp in search OF his
family.
Attention is centered now on the
relief problem. Supplies of every de-
