Educational News


So many school board members and
teachers as well, have written in to
find out how salaries run this year,
that / feel that all viii be served bat
ter if l make this statement through
the newspapers. T he situation is
about the same as it was last year,
so far as scarcity of teachers is con-
cerned; the situation so far as prices
for some communities is concerned is
a little better, but taking everything
into consideration it now looks as
though rural school salaries would
range from $50 to $3.50 per month.
That is, with the exception Of a very
few positions, the same as last year.
The opinion of those who have cover
ed a broader territory, is that the
salaries will be about the same as
last year, at least not lower. All po-
sitions that have been filled recently,
have been the same or higher than
last year.
The following schools have reported
money deposited for the Public School
Nurse Fund: Vernon County Normal,
A. w. Zellmer, teacher, $50; Wopat's
Dewey Brown, SIS; Elk Run, Ethel
West, SIS; Spring Valley, Barbara
Monson, $3.50. Watch this amount
grow from week TO week.

 Special window displays and ad- vertising campaigns are used as a high pressure method of popularizing this high pressure lubricating sys- tenn.
 A. Y. Aydelott. local manager for the Alemite Sales system, at 200 Twenty first street, south. says that this is campaign not only to ad- vertise and sell Alemite lubricating systems, but also to introduce the other products of this company.

 Now we have the latest device for road maintenance-the road razor Its makers claim that it will shave the toughest of dirt roads so clean and smooth that it will resemble a boulevard. If the razor" will do this more than 9,00O,0OO motorists
 will nominate it's inventor for the Hall of Fame.
 They are making sign posts and signal towers of traffic policemen in some cities. For instance, in Bridgeport, Conn, they have evolved white Sam Brown belt for traffic officers on night duty to increase the visibility on dark night. And in New York city traffic cops" are wearing signal lights strapped to their chests. By pressing buttons they flash ''go" and stop" orders.
 Rural motor express and other mo- tor truck operators are protesting vigorously against the wave of re- strictive legislations to limit weights of loads which threatens to cripple the trucking industry. Trucks are not wholly to blame for road fail ures. Invariably such laws result in overlooking smaller sized trucks which all engineers agree will have d more harmful effect on the roads than the same load on trucks de- signed to carry such loads.
 The Illinois state highway depart ment has under construction an ex- perimental road containing 64 test sections, each section differing from the others in design. The types of pavement used include macadam base with asphalt surface, macadam with brick top, concrete base with brick and asphalt top and regular concrete roads. The different types will be tested by trucks carrying light loads and then gradually in- creasing the load. Records will be kept and analysed.
 Few inventions have done more for the health of the nation than the automobile. There's nothing more invigorating than a brisk spin in the fresh, germ-proof air, Whether used as convenience, for vacation tours, for day outings and picnics or for motor camping, the automo- bile offers a change of scene, mental rest and relaxation and a whole some effect on the eyes. Even fa- tigue from driving is good, healthy, tired condition.

 Speaking of gas-these farmers put 1t to use right along. After an oil well is drilled in on their farms they run a h inch pipe from the well to their homes and light up and cook with gas. It would quite likely break my friend Brabson's heart to have people using natural gas in lieu of electricity for cooking, heating. washing, and ironing. They have ingenious Title engines here that vii! whiz along on natural gas the same as gasoline and they can use them to run cream separators. churns, or whatever else is needed.
