TEACHERS PAY
Grand Forks Schools Only
Slightly Below That Ask
ed BY Association.

s TeAchers' salaries in the Grand
Forks public schools appear to aver
age only from 5000 to 5000 per year
less than those recommended by the
North Dakota Educational association
lin ~a2recent bulletin.
From the bulletin it would appear
that the. local salaries are higher than
those generally prevailing in the
state. Comparison between the SAL
aries paid here and those recon-
mendedeis difficult owing to the diff
Sferent clasSifications OF teachers used
Apparently the following is q fair
comphrison: re-
graduates in the grade schools, the
salaTyasspaid In the Grand Forks
schools range from $500 to $1,400
per Wear; while the educational sasso-
ciationts recommends salaries ranging
from $1,000 to $1,000 per year, ,ac-
cording tos4ength of service.
Thescity schools allow an increase
.preparaticil above the elementary.
normal Course. Under this plan a
graduate GOT the advanced normal,
would receive from $3.50 to
S1,450, and a college graduate $3.50

onmends that advanced norma grad
yates should receive from $1,1.O0 to

$1,000 to $$1,S00.a tSx
In the Grand Forks high school
women teachers are paid from $1,100
to $1,60e. and men from $1,1O0 to

salaries for high school teachers IT
from $1,000 to $500, according to
length of service without making any
distinction between men and women.

POLITICAL CRIMES In
DUTCH TREATY EXEMPT

The United States would find itself
in very embarrassing position be-
fore Holland, IL the treaty were rati-
fed, and it proceeded to join the al
lies in a demand for the extradition
fthe kaiser and for his trial for
even a political offense.
This situation arises out of the fact
that the United States, in 1887. made
treaty with Holland on the uues-
tion of extradition. This treaty, after
specifying extraditable offences, such
as burglary and other statutory
crimes, contain the following:
THE provisions of this convention
shall not apply to any crime or Of
fence OF political character nor to
acts connected with such fences; and
no person surrendered under the
provisions thereof shall in any case
be tried or punished for a crime or
effence of a political character, nor
for any act connected herewith CON-
mitted previously to his extradition." ="
The attitude of this government. as
developed at Raris before the peace
conference, was that the United States
opposed the trial of the kaiser GRIM
inally, but did not oppose his trial
for a political offense."
