new SCALE OF
PAY FOR TEACHERS

Our Teachers to Re-
main Next Year
NEW STANDARDS

That all teachers are underpaid

Blackfoot teachers Of grades and
high school have been drawing less
than they could get in neighboring
towns was brought before the school
board at it's meeting Of April 81. A
committee was appointed to work
out a new schedule of salary with the
cooperation of Superintendent w. D.
Vincent. The new scale keeps nearly
all of this years teachers in Black
foot for at least another year, while
failure to act would possibly have
lost two thirds of the present teach
ing force. The committee reported
Monday evening this week.
49, The grade school scale has been
$85 base pay. 1t is now raised to
500 base pay per month, with an
increase of $40 per month for the
second and third successive years on
the job. BY attending summer school
a teacher can command an extra
$3.50 each month for those two
years.
At the high school minimum of
800 has been raised to minimum
of $3.50, which may be increased by
remaining for successive years to
$3.50.
New Standards of Efficiency. ......
Working together the school board
and Superintendent Vincent have
drawn up a new set of qualifications
for teachers, which from this time
on will be followed.
No grade teacher will be engaged
by the school board hereafter unless
qualified by two years of normal
school training and two years of ex-
perience.
No married woman will be elected
to teach in the Blackfoot schools un-
less such domestic arrangements are
made in her home that she may give
her entire time to teaching, and not
be called away or kept from her
duties to the school by household
cares.

"Inaamuch as one of the very i'm
portant factors in ship operating costs

also is evident that sound commercial
practice and proper accounting meth
ods require a reduction in values at
which ships already built and now
building under war conditions are
carried. i 1t is estimated from the
figures SO far obtained that the pro-
posal write-of Of from thirty to forty
percent would be the minimum
amount properly chargeable to the
cost of the war.

an adequate postwar footing both as

AMERICAN Marine
READY TO COMPETE
Under Provisions of Governments
New Shipping Policy.
FORMULATED BY HURLEY
Plan Proposes to Wipe OF Billion
Dollars From Tonnage Built
During War. :

Paris, Jan. 20.-American shipping
will be enabled to successfully COM
pete with other maritime nations and
keep the seas open to the great busi-
ness development with the end of war
until the provisions of shipping
policy adopted by the United States
Government, it was learned today.
Formulated by f. H. Hurley, chair
man of the United States shipping
board, after an extensive investiga-
ton, this policy, which has been Of
ficially approved, proposes to write
off virtually $1,000,000,000 from the
cost Of American shipping built dur
ing the war and possibly a proper
tionate write-off from the valuations
of American ship yards. This write
off, according to the plan, would ap-
ply to, ships, worth approximately
$3,000,000,000.
1t Is expected the moral force Of
the government, in making such re-
duction, will bring privately owned
shipping into the plan. AS all ships
constructed in the United States dur
ing the war were built by the govern
ment, the percentage of privately
owned ships effected Is small. This
reduction in shipping values to an
after the-war basis has been chosen
rather than plans calling for reduc-
tion in wages. Offici. ) were con-

Because of the rebuff she had suffered at
the hands of Baudricourt, Joan, according
to her own testimony, made an effort to re-

ing. In January of 1929 she again appeared
before Baudricourt. Again he refused to
receive her statements seriously. Joan re-
mained in the vicinity and won over num-
ber of his advisers. On February II she
told of great defeat of the armies of the
King at Orleans. A few days later the Off

her own lips there is a denial of this. She

Yet her chief occupation was that of a
maid of all-work. She was an excellent
cook. She was proficient in the use of the
needle. She was noted for her physical
energy, which is often a complement of a
highly nervous temperament.
None could possibly have been more sur

came forward with claims that were looked
upon by all as fantastic and fanatical. Per-

gradually withdraw from their society and

means a freeholder. His circumstances

The name of Joan of Arc takes its place
with martyrs and confessors, and vcnera-
ton of her name becomes an obligation
upon Roman Catholics everywhere. Ten
years ago, by order of Pope Plus, Joan Of
Arc was beatified. This meant that her
memory had been formally pronounced
"blcsscd' and that local veneration was
permitted The sanctions of to-day's cere-
mony are not merely permissivc; they arc
mandatory.
They represent the ultimate effort of the
Eoman Catholic Church to remove a stigma
which it long since rcpudiatcd. They
represent the operations of long and in
volvcd process which. in the eyes of the
Church, can permit of no mistakes. Re-
viewing her history meant the appointment
