SCHOOL SITUATION
MORE PROMISING

Never before have so many school
districts voted the prescribed limit for
school purposes and in addition a re-
pair and furnishing fund which in
many cases is equal to that for main
tenance, according to State Superin-
tendent Sam A. Baker, who has COM
piled some interesting figures relat-
ing to school conditions in this state.
According to information received in
reports from county and city superin-
tendents from all sections of the
state, as a result of the recent An
nual School Election, teachers wages
for next year will be very materially
increased over that of last year and
in many cases so to 100 per cent above
that received in 1914.
The top salary paid rural teachers
in 1914 was $50 per month and one
county reports maximum of 5000
per month for rural teachers next
year.
In order to supply ample funds to
meet the necessary advance in teach
ers' wages, Superintendent Baker re-
Gently advised all school boards to

position of voting. repair and fur
nishing tax and transferring the I'M
expended balance to the incidental
fund, thereby releasing the larger part
of the regular levy for school pur-
poses to the teachers fund.
All but two districts in one county
voted the constitutional limit for main
tenance and all but ten voted an ad-
ditional repair tax, part Of which
may be used to supplement the incl
dental fund This county will nav
$3.50. per month with minimum Of
$85 per month for rural teachers next
year. The average monthly salary of
teachers in this county was $58 per
month.
In Barry county 100 districts voted
the limit and in addition 80 voted re-
pair tax, while in Saline county 10
voted the limit and 20 voted a repair
tax.
Reports from Greene county indi-
cate that 85yper cent Of the rural dis
tricts voted the limit and so per cent
voted an additional repair fund. This
county will pay $125 per month with
"a minimum of $50 to rural teachers
which is an increase of 20 per cent ov-
er that paid last year.
III The increase in revenue for teach
ers' wages is general throughout the
State, as shown by the fact that all

Sugar again is becoming quite an
object, not only in this city but in
most places. 1t is retailing here at
20 to 80 cents and merchants report
that they can hardly obtain it at all
and are having to pay present retail
prices for what they are now able to
get. It. reminds one of the story of

l
Through the kindness of Mr.. E. E
Sanders of Bonnie Terre the County
Superintendent is enabled to here pub.
fish an article which appeared in the
Dell Rapids Tribune, a paper publish.
ed in Dell Rapids, South Dakota, by q
brother of Mr.. Sanders.
1.-THE Dell Rapids Board Of Educa-
ton is a pretty progressive organiza-
ton, and when the realization came
that it must raise the salaries of the
teachers or let the school deteriorate,
| it promptly chose the first alternative
and voted to raise the pay. At recent
meetings of the board it has been de-
cided to pay the teachers on a twelve
month basis instead of for nine months
so that the teacher receives an income
throughout the entire year instead of
during only three-fourths Of it.
Salaries for the grade teachers,
most Of whom have been getting $50
a month for 8 months only, have for
next year been placed at 500 a month
for the entire year, total Of $1,000.
The entire year extends from Septem-
Der LIST to September 1st, and q twelfth
Of the annual salary is paid on the
first of each month, beginning Octob-
er LIST. The teacher is hired for the
year and will get her pay for the year
provided she teaches the straight term
of nine months and then holds herself
in readiness to teach extra during the
remaining three months If there are
backward pupils who are required to
make up work. or anything Of that
nature. As a rule, however, the
teacher will have no summer work to
do at all.
"This new plan is being tried out in
several places in the state this year.
Mitchell is to pay 500 a month for
twelve months, for grade teachers,
and Sioux Falls viii probably do the
same. It is being recognized that
this is the logical solution of the
teacher problem and probably will
generally be adopted throughout the
country. Dell Rapids has the honor
of being one Of the first in the United
States to adopt the plan.

NEW INCOME TAX LAW

Millions of men and women who
have just paid taxes on incomes Of
$4,000 and less found the rate 33 per
cent lower than it was for the prev
ious year, and their saving was in pro
portion. That is to say, not includ-
ing exemptions, this saving averaged
So on every $100 of income upon which
payment was made. To many thou
sands of persons on wages and sal
aries this reduction in the rate meant
a cut of $40 to 500 in this years pay
ment.
This decrease in the tax rate on the
smaller ncomes-those of the vast
number of taxpayers who depend on
their daily earnings-is due to the
foresight of Democratic Congress.
At the moment hostilities were brot to
a close in November, 1918, the Sixty
fifth Congress-a Democratic body
made prompt provision for reduc-
tion in the tax rate on the average
mans income during the succeeding
calendar year-that is, for 1919.
In the aggregate this saving to
those who can least afford to payataX-
es runs into many millions of money.
1t appreciably reduces the cost of liv-
ing in tens Of thousands of homes. It
will unquestionably be gratefully re-
membered by those who found at least
one burden lighter than they thought
it to be.

Since the World has been the leading
metropolitan organ of the Wilson ad-
ministration this aroused great inter-
est and some excitement in the Demo
cratic camp. The important question,
of course, was whether or not it meant
that Mr.. Hoover was the choice of Mr..
Wilson. No one could answer this Of
ficially. Some of the Southern Demo-
Gratis said they would not favor Hoover
because they considered him a Repub-
lican; some of the members of the
party from the West thought the farm
ers would oppose him because he put
a fixed price on wheat and let cotton
soar. Mr.. Hoover himself maintained
o dignified silence. The secretary OF
the Bryan league says Colonel House
/, responsible for the Hoover boom.
There has been some talk of Edward
l. Edwards, the vet governor of New
Jersey, as the Democratic nominee,
and there, too, Mr.. Bryan ONE to the
front. He says he would oppose any
such movement and would not be a
delegate to the convention if Nebraska
should instruct for Edwards. Further
more, if Homer S. Cummings favors
Edwards he will never again be ma
tional chairman of the Democratic
party if Bryan can prevent 1t. So
