HOW TO CORRECT THE TEACHER
SHORTAGE

First, raise salaries until self-re.
spect can be maintained and the best
teachers can be retained. The Fair
Wage Schedule will do it. It pays
teachers as much as we now pay
maids, cooks and clerks.
It is not an ideal schedule but it
is one within our reach. Behind every
teacher is an average of $189, $50 OF
assessed valuation. Many schools
now meet this schedule. Some already
exceed it. One mill additional tax will
raise all schools to the minimum.
Second, improve living conditions
for your teachers. frequently all this
needs is little foresight and atten-
ton by school officers. Sometimes q
It is good business investment for
it increases wages and comfort to the
teachers more than it costs the district.
A home which costs the district $3.50
annually for interest and upkeep is
worth $500 to the principal of city
or village school. The consolidated
schools teacherage for four teachers
which may cost $3.50, year in inter-
est and upkeep, is worth more than
SIS a month extra salary to each
teacher.
Third, present the social, patriotic
educational and moral advantages of
teaching to promising young people
in your community. If these three
things be done the present normal
schools and colleges with little ad-
ditional equipment or expense will in
three years supply home trained
teacher for every school room in
North Dakota. The facilities are
ready, the young people are here. It's
up to the citizens to make the job
worthwhile. Your children deserve it.
Democracy demands it.

BIG PROFIT IN SHOE RETAIL
Economic Expert Says That Half Of

Washington-Half of what you pay
for pair of shoes is clear profit for
the retailer, manufacturer, tanner and

the shoe industry presented to- the rail

Retail dealers absorb more than one
third of the profit, Lauck told the
board.
"The retail dealer has increased his
margin of profit 1902 per cent since
