LODGE NOTES
ROYAL ARcANuM

More than 10000 members of the Ueval Arcanum who were in the mil tsrv or naval service will recieve an | appcaI from Samuel. N. Hoag | urging them to continue their Gov ernment War Risk Insurance. |
 Addressing his message to the $500 Arcanians who were in the service and 10 the 800 new members who Joined the society after being dis charged from the army, navy or ma rines. Supreme Secretary Hoag points out that the young man who has just returned to civil life will do well to keep up the government in- surance After welcoming the mem- bers back to fraternal life, Mir. Hoag states that if the members who carry government insuranc and certifi- cates in the Royal Arcanum should ego West" the money received from both sources would insure the ma: terial happiness of their dependents. i All members of the Royal Arcanum are entitled to compensation up to f3e00 for their families after death If the returned service man is also insured by the government, however, his dependents will continue to re- ceive the monthly payments as pro- yided by the war risk insurance act.
 Discussing the large number of ap plications recieved from men who were with the colors, Supreme Sec retary Hoag attributes Sie eagerness of ex-service men to join the Royal Arranum 10 the fact that their bud dies informed them that the frater- nitv continued the protection of its members in the service without ad- ditionsl cost to them and without the levying of special assessments on the membership at large.
 Simultaneously with the demobil- tzation. the various councils of the Royal Arcanum launched a quiet but effective campaign through tbeir em
 pioyment' bureaus to place the re- turning heroes in their old job or better ones. As a result of this movement. the order has obtained work for hundreds of it's members without cost to the applicants.
 According to the Supreme Secre- tary, "the Royal lArcanum is first last and all the time a fraternity The society is not in the insurance business although it is true that all its f50.O0 members carry certificates worth from $50 to S3.000 to the de- upendents after the Arcanians have entered the unseen temple. In addi- tion to its free employment bureaus, inc order also maintains free hos pital beds ir various institutions. The Royal tArcanum is not a sectar- ian order members of all faiths, creeds and denominations being en- listed under the emblenls which stands for virtue. mercy and charity"

TEACHERS MUST GET
MORE PAY FOR WORK
Superintendent Churc hill
Says General Shortage Ex-
lists i'm Middle West.

SALEM, july 1C.-Education oi
school boards to the necessity of pay
ing better salaries to teachers is tht
only way in which the high standard
set by the schools of the United
States can be maintained, according
to state Superintendent Churchill
who returned to his offices yesterday
after attending the annual meeting OF
the National Education association al
. Milwaukee,.
"Reports at the convention indi-
Gated a serious shortage Of teachers
said Mr.. Churchill, and In some sec-
tions OF the country the schools are
suffering bccauge of an Inadequate
supply Of competent instructors. This
is particularly true in the middle west,
where mill:n" and other war activi-
ties necessary to carrying on the war
have been on an upward trend. Many
teachers, dissatisfied at the wage paid
them in different parts OF the coun-
try have abandoned the schoolroom
and have engaged i'm other lines car
rying more lucrative salaries. Be-
cause of this fact the schools are con-
fronted with a serious situation and
higher salaries seems to be the only
remedy"
Americanism, better preparation OF
teachers and vocational training were
other subjects given consideration at
the convention.
