MITCHELL TEACHERS
TO BE BETTER PAID

Mitchell, s. D., April Sat its
regular meeting this week the board
OF education decided to grant
straight salary increase to the teach
ers in the Mitchell schools next year.
The increases, taken on the whole,
will average approximately 25 per
cent. and put the salaries for teach
ers on a par with those paid in any
other city in the state.
Under the new ruling the lowest
paid teacher in the grade schools will
be paid between $1,100 and $1,000,
although the board did not raise the
minimum wage that could be paid
from $1,000. Whether the minimum
shall be paid or not was left to the
discretion of Superintendent ]. c..
Lindsey, who declared today that 1t
was likely that the lowest salary
that would be paid to any teacher
here next year would be $1,000.
This year the school board took
care of the increase in the cost of
living by giving each teacher bonus
for the years work of 800.

Marshall Van Camp has issued the
following proclamation:
Fire and disease are invited by rub
Dish piles. We urge the cooperation
of all residents of South Dakota in
general cleanup of the winters ac-
emulation of papers, oily rags and
other valueless material, both inside
and outside of their premises.
Nothing adds more to the value OF
property than that it is clean inside
and out, and nothing does more to
reduce the fire hazard.
Remember that the year just closed
saw the lives of 33 citizens Of South
Dakota snuffed out on account of the
demon fire. In addition to this prop
erty to the value of more than $1,000
600 was consumed. A thorough clean
up campaign will reduce this loss
