North Dakota Teachers Not 40 Well
Paid ~ Many Others.
The average annual salary paid to
public school teachers in the United
States as whole Is $4S5. In one
state the average is only 5000 per
year. The wages received by school
teachers constitute a measure of two
things:> First, the quality Of ability
of the teacher; second, the value the
community puts upon the teachers
services. The fact that teachers
wages are lower than those paid for
almost any other sort of service
means that as nation. we are neither
asking for nor getting high grade
Of service and as a nation we place
q low valuation on the teachers
work.
Statistics on file at the office of the
North Dakota Development league

that we stand thirty-second in the
matter of the number of school teach.
ers employed. There are teaching in
the public schools of this state 1881
men and women, who receive total
Of s2,501.102 annually. This is an
average Of only $3.50, per teacher per
year. The state gets more value
than that from it's teachers and it
should pay them more.

North Dakota's twenty.fifth ami.

year. 1t became a state in 1889. The
enabling act by congress was in Feb

assembled July 4, and the state was
actually admitted on proclamation by
President Harrison In November.
AS neither February nor November
present the most suitable dates for
a monster celebration in this state,
it has been decided to hold the big
silver anniversary function in July
of 1914.
81 An attempt will be made to show
North Dakota's development from ag-
ricultural, commercial, financial, CIV
&c; social and religious standpoints.
For this purpose the albest speakers

ALAS,WHISKERS DEPART
Portland Chronicles Wane of Facial
Covering in Kansas.

Whiskers. according to an article in
the Portland "Oregonian," have gone
the way of the corn crop in Kansas.
Whiskers are on the wane. An old
Kansas tradition is shattered. Not only
the crops, but the hirsute chins in the
Sunf1ower State have been affected by
the hottest summer in years. Follows
one of the best "whisker' stories that
has been printed for some time:
CartooniStS who have extracted much
joy and added to the gayety of nations
by picturing the average Kansas man
with his face in ambush behind a weird
growth of whiskers must revise their
notions. 1t is all due to the record
breaking siege of heat. For many
years Kansas has been associated with
curiosity. When the hot winds rolled
in from the south and curled up the
corn on a thousand hills and dried up
the streams and wells and turned the
pastures brown and sere, they also laid
a heavy weight on the Kansan toting
around a bushel or so of whiskers.
The inha bitants could leave off most Of
their clothes. and it finally occurred to
a few reckless leaders to shear off the
whiSkers. The example was quickly
followed and became epidemic.
A lot of men who had worn heavy
boards since early manhood had to in
troduce themselves when they went
home. Many of the wives had never
seen their husbands without whiskers
and thousands of children, now grown
to maturity, had never seen their faith
ers with shaved faces.
