was about TO drain when a cry from
a soldier near by made him turn his
head in the direction OF the sound.
The cry had been uttered by swede.

exist in Southern states.
Salaries paid teachers in 1918 sta

$6os for elementary teachers and
si.o3t FOR those teaching in high
schools. From salary schedules col
lected from various states, giving sal
aries received by Individual teachers
in three counties in each state. it is
shown that wages paid rural teachers
fell far below the foregoing average

$500 year.

bolshevik morale, but they are accom-
panied by a suggestive sudden silenc'
ing of the Moscow wireless, which has
heretofore been maintaining a verita-
BILE chatter of news and claims under
the direct control of the Lenin- Trotsky
government The signals ceased Sun
day afternoon and at latest accounts
had not been resumed. This may mean
a change of government policy at boil
shevik headquarters, or it may mean a
revolt.
The anti bolshevik elements in Rus
STA have evidently been waiting for an
opportunity to act. With the col
lapse of the Kolchak and Denekine
movements there has been no organized
opposition to the soviet regime for sew
eral months. Now with the Poles and
Ukrainians jointly advancing against
forces that are supposedly the pick Of
the bolshevik army it would seem that
the hour for an internal resistance
to the red rule has arrived, and the
silence of the Moscow wireless may
mean that the opportunity has been
seized and that the Russian people are
at last striking for their liberation
from tyranny worse than was ever
that of the most cruel czars.
