SCHOOL BOARD REFLECTS
OLD ROSTER OF TEACHERS
Meeting Held Thursday Evening
Miss Arnold Resigns and Miss
Menner May Resign.-Same
Roster as Last Year.


Roster as Last Year.
The members of the borough
school board held their last meeting
for the school year last Thurs
day night. The meeting was called
to order by President F. c. Schoell.
Members present were T. B. Clark,
j. A. Brown, w. j. Ward and A. M.
Leine. The graduating class of the
Honesdale high school was passed
and approved and the regular busi-
ess of the board was transacted.
The principal business to come be-
fore the board at this meeting was
the selection of the staff of teachers
for the coming year. There seemed
to be no difficulty in that, however,
for the old staff of teachers, with
the exception of Miss Arnold, was
reelected for another year. Miss
Arnold resigned and no teacher has
yet been named for that grade.
Professor H. A. Oday was also chos-
en- for another year.

NEW STEEL PROCESS FOUND
High Speed Product Patented All Over
the World.

The London Daily Mail says that
great interest has been aroused in Shelf
field in a method Of producing superior
high speed steel by the introduction of
cobalt.
The process has been patented
throughout the world by a continental
firm, but there are indications that at
Sheffield. the center Of the English
high speed steel industry, the manufac-
turers win fight for the privilege of
making the new steel without having
to pay royalties under foreign patent
The new material, It is said, marks
a great advance on the best qualities OF
steel at present obtainable for boring
and cutting tools.

Seml-MonthIy Pay Day Bill.

The house labor committee reported
cut favorably the Ogg -Monteith semi
monthly pay day bill, which is de-
signed to compel railroads, telegraph
companies and other corporations
that pay by the month, to pay twice a
month.
The committee removed the pun
ishment clause and substituted one
that provides that corporations that
fail TO pay every two weeks shall be
obliged to pay five per cent. extra
every salary not paid within the time
required in the bill.
The measure was strenuously op.
posed by railroad representatives, in
cluding most of the Michigan mana.
gers. who alleged that 1t will cost in
extra clerical and other work, sums
ranging from $4,000 annually for the
Michigan Central, down to $1,000 for
some Of the roads that have short
trackage in Michigan.
The committee also reported out
favorably an amendment to the law
used by the public shall swing out
ward, so that the provisions OF the
measure can be enforced. Owing to
defect this is not now possible.
Prosecutor Hugh Shepherd of Detroit.
who tried to prosecute under the act
and failed to get action, is responsj

When the Industrial accident board
ruled that the employer was liable for

attack as an epileptic stroke. the in
surance companies who are carrying

delegated competent physicians and
surgeons to deliver addresses to the
foremen and superintendents OF the
plants where they carry risks. and
In these addresses the overseers are
instructed to make a study OF the

Says Bill Is Unco Institutional.

Apparently all chances for passing
a teachers pension bill at the pres.
ent session of the legislature have
gone glimmering. Attorney General
Grant Fellows, in an opinion to Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction -
L. Wright, declared the bill now be.
fore the legislature TO be unconstitu-
tional.
Il am Of the opinion that under the
present constitution OF the state the
legislature would not be authorized
to appropriate money from the public
treasury to be used for the payment
to teachers of pension in addition 0
the salary which they have received
under their contract with the various
boards OF education by which they
have been employed" said Attorney
General Fellows in his opinion.
The teachers pension bill or meas.
ure to provide a retirement fund has
inspired one OF the most persistent
lobbies of the present-session. Since
the first of the year the mail Of the
members has been filled with com
munications from teachers all over
the state urging the passage Of the
bill, and a number gathered in Lansing
when the public hearing was held in
the senate on the measure.
For some time 1t has been con
tended by able constitutional lawyers
that the bill before the legislature
relative to pensioning of teachers ID
unconstitutional. The ruling OF At.
torney General Fellows confirms their
opinions.
