SAL ARIES OF TEACHERS
IN OKLAHOMA INCREASE
BY "A To SO PER CENT

Norman, Okla, April 2S.-Salaries of
men teachers in Oklahoma highschools
accredited by the North Central Asso-
citation Of Colleges and Universities have
increased "a per cent in the last two
years while those of women teachers
have gone up to 26 per cent.
These figures are included in a chart
prepared by A. c. Parsons, state high
school inspector, showing the effect
of wartime conditions on the schools
of Oklahoma. The chart is being eX-
hibited at the University of Oklahoma.
The average of the men teachers in
these schools increased from 81 l,003
in 1916 to 81 ,347 in 1918. The average
for women increased from $S23 in
1916 to $1,034 in 1918. These figures
show that men receive on the average
$344 more yearly than women in the
~ high schools of Oklahoma which
are members of the association.
The association recently adopted a
rule that any school not paying ade'
quaba salaries to instructors should
be dropped. No definite scale was
adopted but it is expected that the
minimum of $1,000 per year, now that
standard of the National Education
association will be established.
This chart shows that in 1917, 4C
per cent of all teachers We're men
while in 1918 the percentage dropped to
2S, showing that II per cent Of the
teachers in these schools entered the
Service.
For the entire nation the chart
shows that ~ per cent Of all teachers
in 1916 We're men as compared to Il
per cent in 1918. In Oklahoma tn,
percentage of men teachers was Is
percent in 1916 and only nine percent
men in 1918. In the grade schools OF
Oklahoma the figures are percent
men in 1917. and three per cent mer
in 1918.

Review Boys Having a
Hot Time in Contest

The Circulation Contest being car
r1ed on between the carrier boys of
the Review is becoming hotter as the
time for the close draws near. The
boys are on the trail of every possi-
bic new subscriber, and there is no
getting away from them, as all are
fully determined to do their darndest
to get away with the capital prize.
This prize, an Ingersoll watch, is on
display in the window of the Imper-
ial Jewelry Co.. and is worth while
striving for.
Frank Larose heads the list at the
present writing, with Robert Polaski
a close second The other young
|sters are not far behind, and between
them all, one hundred new names
have been added to the Reviews SUBJ
scription list. The object of the con-
test is to put the Review in every
home in Morgan City. The manage
ment wants everyone in this city to
read southwest Louisiana's best dali
ly. If you know of any one who does
not get the paper, will you not help
the little fellow who delivers the
|paper in your neighborhood to land
them as subscribers? You will be
helping to make the Review bigger
and better paper, because every time
you help to add new name to the
list. you add to the value of the pa
per as an advertising medium, and
thus afford the paper chance for
expansion.

given in the new Peace Pro
gram Of the Junior Red Cross
outlined by the officials at National
headquarters and affecting the 4S,269
Junior Red Cross members in the Gut
Division, comprising Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and Alabama.
The purposes are given as follows:
To furnish relief to suffering
children throughout the world.
To stimulate community activi'
ties appropriate to the spirit OF
the American Red Cross.
To develop an international un-
derstanding and good will made
necessary by the new world con-
ditions resulting from the war.
To provide motives for the pur-
poseful and useful school activi-
ties.
To inculcate ideals and habits
Of service.
There is a great need for relief
among the millions of children in for
eign lands who are suffering and Will
continue to suffer for a long period
because of the deprivations forced
upon them during the war. Through
the new plan of the Junior Red Cross
the children of the Gulf Division, az
well a thousands Of other Juniors
throughout America, will be given an
opportunity to help these children
across the sea.
The questions arising are: Are We
not vitality bound to help the children
