THE TEACHERS INSURANCE

THE TEACHERS INSURANCE
AND RETIREMENT FUND LAW.
This is chapter 323 OF the laws of
1911. A summary Of its provisions is
as follows:
Teachers who enter the profession
after September l, 1911, and teachers
who shall have begun teaching prior
to that time and who shall previous TO
September l, 1912, elect to come under
the provisions OF the retirement fund
law shall contribute to the retirement
fund one per cent of their annual sal
airy for each Of the first ten years Of
service as teacher and two per cent per
annum for each succeeding year of SER
| vice, payments to cease at the end Of
twenty-five years of service. The
amount contributed shall be withheld
from their salaries 10y the school
boards and passed on through the reg
ular channels to the state treasurer.
Ten cents per capita for each person of
school age in the state shall annually
lie set aside by the state treasurer from
the seven-tenths mill state school tax
and the amount set aside shall be add
ed to the retirement fund.
The fund shall be managed by a
board consisting of the state treasurer
and state superintendent of public in
struction, as members ex-ofilcio, and
three members, one of whom shall be
a woman, elected for terms of three
years, by the members of the teachers
insurance and retirement fund at their
annual meetings. The state treasurer
shall be ex-otficio treasurer of the
board. The board may employ Sec
retary at salary Of not to exceed
81, POO per year. The members of the
board are paid only their necessary
travelling expenses.
After twenty-five years of service as
teacher, of which eighteen years must
have been in the public schools of Wis
consin, teacher who has contributed
to the retirement fund, as provided by
law, may retire from service and be en-
titled to receive annually $3.50 for
each yearof service, not to exceed $3.50
in any one year. The amount may be
ratably reduced oy the retirement fund
board whenever the condition of the
fund shall require such reduction. The
payment of annuities shall be II ade
quarterly. Nopayments shall be made
prior to September; 1912.
AS above stated, teachers who begin
teaching in public schools after Sep
tember l, 1911, are required by the
law to lie members of the retirement
fund. A teacher who has contributed
to the fund and who ceases to teach in
the public schools before being entitled
to an annuity shall be entitled to re-
turn of one-half OF the amount paid in
to the fund.
The Milwaukee school system does
not come under the provisions of this
law; there is special retirement fund
law for that city which was enacted a
number of years ago.
A number of applications for teach
ers' pensions under the general retire
meLt fund law have already been re-
ceived by the state department of edu-
cation.

Since the passage OF the law two
years ago authorizing the condemna-
tion OF unsanitary or otherwise unfit
school buildings by state school inspec-
tors, fifty-four schoolhouses have been
condemned. About two-thirtls of these
had to be rebuilt, the rest repaired.
There were six condemnations in Calu-
ment county, four each in Dane and
Fond du Lac counties, three in Grant
county and from one to two in twenty
six other counties. There have been
only two appeals from the decisions OF
the inspectors. OF the schools con-

During the school year many famil-
les move from one part OF the state to
another. This moving has tendency
to interfere with school attendance and
also to make the statistics of school
attendance incorrect. If child at.
tends school portion of the year in
one district and the remainder in an
other district he is reported at the end
of the year as two delinquent pupils.
When we consider that there are
perhaps thousands of cases of this kind
in the state every year we can see
that the final reports do not do justice
to the children of the state.
To remedy this defect in the school
attendance records the state superin-
tendent has devised system of trans
fer cards. These cards will be sup
piled county superintendents, who In
turn will supply the teachers. When
D child moves from one district to an
other district anywhere in the state
the teacher gives him transfer card
on which is recorded his school atten-
dance up TO the time he leaves the dis
trict. When this card is presented to
the teacher In the district to which he
has moved, she gives him credit for
his attendance in the former district
and at the same time informs his for
mer teacher that he has been enrolled
and given credit for attendance in the
school from which he came. The re-
suit will be that at the end OF the
school year all pupils will get credit in
reports for their full attendance even
though they may have attended In two
or more districts. Reports as now
made out exaggerate the number Of
children who do not comply with the
compulsory attendance law.

A new postofllce has been established
in Franklin, near the town house. 1t
will be served from the Cato postoffice.
The name of the new Office is Taus and
Joseph Zahorik, now the town clerk Of
Franklin, is postmaster. Another new
postoffice named Meggers is credited
to this county.
The graduating exercises took place
at the assembly room of the north side
school on Friday afternoon.
The class consisted of seven persons,
five young ladies' and two young gentle
men: Pearl Smart, Clara Krainik,
Amy Dow, Spencer johnson, Isadore

programme in the order here given.
The essays were of the usual type,
though less pretentious than such
efforts are apt to be, indicating de-
gree of modesty quite creditable to
the members OF the class.

1t is astonishing how many editors

does. 1t is singular how perverse the
people are in not selecting one of these

DEfARIURE Of If1E AHSlioWOC
COUNTY GUARDS This company of
Mapitowoc soldiers left here on Sunday
evening, and their departure attracted
to the pier where the steamer Comet
lay awaiting their reception, the larg-
est crowd of people ever assembled in
the village.-Large numbers came
from the country to see their friends
leave, and the number on the pier and
in its vicinity was not less than $500.
The company was escorted from their
rendezvous to the boat by the Brass
Band and the Home Guards under COM
mand of Capt. Leups. On their arriv-
al at the pier halt was made, and
friends permitted to give a parting
farewell. The scene was Impressive,
and we never wish to be q Witness of
the like again. Fathers, mothers,
brothers, sisters and lovers felt and act
ed as they can only feel and act when
they are parting with each other for
the last time. AT last the Comet start
ed off, amid the cheers of the people,
which were answered by the company
on board until their voices were lost in
the distance. They arrived in Madison
on Monday, where they will probably
remain some time before being called
into active service. We annex full
