1t is believed that opportunities

them greater in number and more
inclusive in scope, can be attacked
with the addition to the force. Al
ready plans for entertainments,
physical exhibitions and get togeth-
er meetings are being planned by

expected to combine his end Of the

so as to give the local association

PAY INCREASE
New Salary Scale BASED on Pop
ulatiOn is Authorized by Last
General Assembly.

Increased mpensation for
county superintendent of schools
was authorized by the Illinois
general assembly in its last ses-
sion just closed, and under the
new law the next Rock Island
county superintendent will receive
IS. 400 per annum instead Of $4,000.
This conclusion is based upon the
assumption that the population OF
the county will be more than $4,000
when the next census is taken.
The law applies to superintend-
ents who shall enter upon the dis
charge of their duties after July /,
1919. The salaries are fixed in ac-
cordance with the population of
the counties as shown by the cen
sus OF 1910, as follows:
Less than $4,000, 81 800.
