Normal School Grads
in Demand; Earn Big
Salaries First Year

Nowadays we hear great deal Of
t'the JOY of service" that comes as a
reward to the teacher. Certainly this
is reward that comes in full measure
to the real teacher, but is it the only
reward?
OF the class Of 1917, at the State
Normal school here, numbering up
wards Of 200 members, practically ev-
eryone who wished it has secured a
good teaching position. At the pres
ient time not all of these young PEG.
pie have Informed the school what
salary they are to receive, but of the
116 young women who have so report,
ed the average monthly salary is
about $40. Some will receive consid-
cradle more; others less. The range
of salaries is from $50 to ss5: The to.
tai aggregate amount that these ZIG
young people will receive this years is
$72,630. .
Just how this will be earned may be
seen as follows:
Five will receive $50 month; two
will receive $62.5G a month; "a will
receive $65 month; four will receive
S67.5O a month; AZ will receive $40
a month; 81 will receive SIS month ;
six will receive $50 month and two
will receive $85 month
Reports have been received thus
far from nine young men who will
receive salaries ranging from $50 to
$11O month and averaging over $97
This will be earned as follows:
Three will receive $50 a month; one
will receive sos month; four will re-
ceive 800 a month and one will re-
ceive $40 a month.
The total aggregate sum that these
young men will receive this year is
$7,S75, which added to what the young
women will earn brings the sum tc
$S0,5O5, a sum that will be earned by
a little more than one-half the mem
bers of the class.
These young people are earning
these salaries with a preparation that
represents from one to two years be
yond the high school course. They
receive these salaries in their first
positions, and salaries grow with ex
perience. -
Just another evidence of the fact
that teaching is remunerative as well
as pleasant and that young persons
who qualify for the teaching profes
sion are in demand.

Canadian Parliament
Voted $350,O00,O00 for
War at Last Session

Ottawa, Ont, Sept 20-The twelfth
parliament of Canada ended late to-
day. The governor-general, the Duke
of DevOnshire, in his speech from the
throne said: .--s.ee
"Although the stress Of war be-
comes increasingly severe, the people
of Canada, resolute in the supreme
purpose of achieving through victory
an. abiding peace, have not faltered.
And am confident that whatever fur
Their efforts are necessary will be put
forth in the stern determination that
the vast sacrifices already made shall
not have been in vain"
The session lasted eight months. To
finance Canadian war operations $780,
100000 was voted. CONSUMPTION was
enacted to provide 100000 reinforce
ments for Canadian troops in the field.
Prime Minister Borden unsuccess-
fully endeavored to induce Sir Wilfrid
Laurier to join with him in the for
nation of coalition government. This
failing, and application for extension
of the term of parliament, having been
rejected, arrangements we're made for
election by enacting bill providing
votes for soldiers overseas and in Can.
ada A wartime elections act was
passed extending the franchise to
wives, mothers, sisters and daughters
of Canadian soldiers overseas, while
the right to vote was withdrawn from
aliens from enemy countries, whose
Canadian naturalization is of less than
Is years standing. These measures, it
is calculated, will give military vote
of not less than 100000. The cleo
ton is to be held before the Christmas
holidays.
1t was announced that the first class
of conscripts, comprising unmarried
men between 20 and "a years of age,
will be called Immediately.

RUSSIAN TROOPS KILL
OFFICERS DURING THE
koRNILOFF REBELLION

Stockholm, Sept 20-German agents
made Viborg, a city of Finland not 100
miles from Petrograd, place of hor.
ror.
Loyal Russian soldiers threw 10 of
their officers, including two generals,
into the river, and then shot at them
until all but one had disappeared in
the swirling waters. This one, a col
onel, clambered up the bank only to
be Drained by one of his own men.
Another officer was found dead at his
home with his head half severed. Still
another was : found lynohed in the
woods. "
German agents spread. rumors that
Premier Kerensky, then at bay be-
cause of General Korniloff's rebellion"
had repulsed the troops of General
Vassiluf, commander general of Fin
land, to aid in the defense of Petro.
grad, as he had refused his appeal and
order.

Members of the workingmen's and

executed an entire regiment of his
men at Tarnopol During the revolt
many troops turned the tables and ex.
ecuted their officers. The Viborg hor.
ror occurred one week ago today. The
German-inspired story spread like
wildtre among the troops. Moved to
anger, almost insanity, they went
forth to seek their officers. Many
were thrown in prison.
Vassilus himself, with nine other
high army officers, were seized. The
lnturlated soldiers dragged these men
TO a bridge. There they threw them
into the water and while they swan
desperately for shore the Russian SOL
dlers fired On the helpless officers.
A great crowd gathered. A panic
occurred on the packed bridge and
many were injured in frantic strug
giles to reach the banks again.
For half an hour this target prac
tice at the officers continued. Most OF
them were killed, overcome by wounds
or exhausted in their efforts to keer

LUIS managed 20 reach the pier. There
he scrambled up. A group of infuriat
