TEACHERS MUST FILE
FOR PENSIONS BEFORE
SEPT. /. 1922, IS RULE

Indiana teachers have until Sept i,
1922. in which to signify whether they
wish to become beneficiaries OF the
new Indiana state teachers pension
law, which went into effect Monday,
Aug. /.
The new law providing for PEN
sion of 500 a year for all teachers
who have taught for 40 years or more,
and who have paid their yearly prem
iums according to the rate fixed by
law, demands that all persons now
entering the profession become bene-
ficiaries. Old teachers may. or may
not, come under the new law, accord
ing to their wishes.
Before a teacher who has already
taught for 40 years can benefit by the
500 a year pension, he or she must
pay the premiums due for the past 40
wears. This has caused some disap-
proval among the older teachers, be-
cause in several instances, the back
premiums for the teacher would
amount to $4,000. This is as much as
the teacher will receive in four years
under tie pension provision. 1t would
not be until the fifth year that one
would be benefited by the law. Such
circumstances will yet have to be
ironed out by legal opinion.
State Gives Aid.
II teacher teaches for less than
five years after the law went into eff
feet, he or she will lose the amount
paid into the retirement fund. But
if he teacher continues to teach more
than five years and then quits, only
the amount paid into the retirement
fund in the years past the fifth will
be refunded with four per cent in
terest
Funds for paying the $500 year to
teachers who have taught for 40 years
or more comes from the annual prem
iums paid into the fund by teachers
and from fund set apart by the state
In this manner Indiana teachers pay
four-seyenths of the pensions and the
state the remaining three-sevenths.
Must Retire.
No teacher can benefit by the pen
sion provision unless she retires al
the end of the 40 years of service. A
teacher must quit at the end Of that
time to draw the pension.
1t Is claimed that the law is not sc
good for teachers as it might at first
appear. Some say that it is nothing
more nor less than an insurance
policy. Premiums, or annual pay
ments, based on the age of the teacher
when entering into the arrangement
is demanded before teacher can bene
fit. This makes it seem more like
insurance than as pension. The
greater part of the pension is paid by
the teachers themselves.

This Athletic bunch went over to

saw the smoke coming out the windows
and rang in the alarm, but found that it
was smoke from the trail the boys made
around the hall.
Now this is where you come in. All
you have to do is get up there early and
get up near the front and the heat
thrown out from this fast travelling
bunch will keep you warm. Simple
amt it? Oh, l know you won't believe
