NO SALARIES FOR
XMAS VACATION
Superintendent Clark Calls At
tention to Revision Of
Statutes

We are in receipt Of a circular
letter from Superintendent J. f.
Clark, in which he calls attention
to some charges in the law in
regard to salaries of teachers and
other things. We publish here
with the letter:
On account Of the fact that
there is great deal Of misun-
derstanding concerning vacation
salaries, ! would ask you to read
very carefully Section &C. Chap
ter 81, Laws of 1907, found on
page 215 Of the Compilation of
School Laws for 1909, and note
that this chapter was amended by
Section 10, Chapter 121, of the
Laws of 1909. On careful read
ing you will note that
First, the holder of permit or
third grade certificate may not
receive a salary in excess of $50
per month.
Second, the holder of q second
grade certificate may not receive
salary in excess of $75 per
month.
Third, there is no limit placed
upon the salary that may be paid
a holder Of a first grade certifi-
cate or any higher form of teach
ers' license.
Fourth, that a holder of a per-
nit may receive back pay in ex-
cess of $50 per month, provided
he secures a regular teachers
license at some time during the
term for which he is engaged.
Fifth, that teacher is entitled
to full pay for a period not to sx-
ceed one month during which
school may be closed for reasons
specified.
Sixth, that the original provi-
sion of the law of 1907 giving a
teacher the regular salary during
the holiday vacation for a period
not to exceed fifteen days has
been repealed,
1t is the last item in the fore
going that has been misunder-
stood in particular. Some teach
ers are of the opinion that they
are to receive pay for the holiday
vacation.
The length of the holiday vaca-
ton is fixed by the board of
school directors and it may be
made one day or one month.
whatever the board may decide.
Holders of third grade certifi-
Gates who advance their licenses
during the term for which they
are elected may not legally re-
ceive back salary in excess of
$50 but they may receive ad-
vanced salary from the date of
issue of the advanced grade of
license. This is true also Of hold
ers of second grade licenses.
The matter of payment for
certain holidays and the matter
of making up certain days lost
during the term is wholly a local
, one which the board of directors
| and the teacher together with
the county superintendent should
decide.
Yours very respectfully,

MRS. CoNRIED NOR A CLAIMANT
For Part Of Policy on Husbands IAfe In
Favor OF Metropolitan Opera Co.

For Part Of Policy on Husband's LAfe in
Favor OF Metropolitan Opera Co.
1t was learned yesterday that tho life
insurance policy Of slso.o0o In favor Of the
Metropolitan Opera Company on the life
OF Heinrich Conried had not yet been paid
1t was reported that Mrs. Conried as ex-
ecutor OF her husbands will had decided
to claim share whom it was paid.
Mrs. Conried will carry on the litigation
begun by her husband against the directors
OF the Metropolitan Opera Company
Frederick Sperling. her attorney. told a
SUN reporter yesterday. but it is not
true that she will claim a share in the
insurance even II the company decides to
pay it. It is extremely questionable,
however, il the opera company had any
insurable interest In Mr. Conried's life
after he CEASED to be the managing di-
rector OF the company.
-The policy was made out in 1908 by Mr..
Conried. who insured his life for the bene-
fit OF the company. So long as he con-
tinued its director he paid the premiums
and the company had OF course an insur-
able interest in his life. After his retire
ment the company continued to pay the
premiums, but what possible insurable in
terest could the company have had in his
life while Mr.. Conried was living abroad2'
Mr.. Sperling said that the question Of
the sl5o,o0o insurance money, although
Mrs. Conried made no claim TO any part OF
II, was involved in the general considera-
ton Of the terms under which Mr.. Conried
had retired as active manager Of the
Metropolitan Opera House. The case will
come up in October.
1t will be blow to the Metropolitan
Opera Company directors in case the
insurance company does not pay the
$50. .0co policy. 1t was expected to help
toward paying of some Of the deficit OF
the last season.
