Nineteen Kansas Third Glass
Cities Increase Teachers Pay.
Thirty-TwO Towns Are Con.
templating Salary Reduction.
1865 ANSWER QUESTIONABLE
Can't Expect Cadillac Quality
Instructors at Ford Prices.
Agitation for Teachers Unions
Has Been Revived in State.

Nineteen Kansas cities of the third
class probably will Increase the sal
aries paid to elementary and high
school teachers for the 1s22-1923
school year, according to information
compiled by F. L. Pinet, secretary of
the Kansas State Teachers association.
At the same time only thirty-two cities
of>the third class are contemplating a
reduction in salaries paid to teachers
in elementary schools, and thirty-six
such cities contemplate reductions in
salaries for high school teachers.
School boards in 110 cities of the third
class intend to continue the present
salaries of teachers in elementary
schools. Ninety-seven school boards
plan no reductions in the present sal
aries for high school teachers.
The information was gained thru a
QUESTIONABLE sent out by the Kansas
State Teachers association, and is be-
ing sent out to the teachers of Kansas
in a circular prepared by Mr.. Pinet.
1855 Questionnaires Answered.
OF the 166 questionnaires filled out
by school superintendent in cities of
the third class not one advocated any
lessening of teachers salaries. With
one voice they declared that unless the
present salaries for teachers are main
tanned in cities of the third GLASS, the
best and strongest teachers will mi
CRATE to cities of the first and second
classes where salaries are higher.
In this event it is pointed out that
children in cities of the third class
where salary cuts were made, would
have to depend for education on in
structors of a less efficient and well
trained sort. The summary of the 166
questionnaires shows that Cadillac
quality teachers cannot be obtained at
Ford prices"
Agitate Teachers Unions.
The impending salary cut in the
minority Of the third class cities of
Kansas has resulted in a new and in
cipient revival of the agitations for
teachers unions" which would func-
ton on the principle of collective bar
gaining The Kansas State Teachers
association has discouraged and
frowned on such agitation ever since
such action was first suggested several
years ago. 1t even went SO far as to
put the matter to test vote at state
convention when a huge majority of
the membership at large voiced its
disapproval of teachers unions.
However" Secretary Pinet points
out, "the present agitation by a few
school boards in cities of the third
class in Kansas looking to a reduction
in teachers salaries has revived some
of the union talk. The association
lends no countenance to such talk but
the fact that a few of the teachers
of Kansas are reviving what was a
dead issue shows a determination to
uphold the present salary scales in
cities of all classes"

II You Need a Medicine

reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill

applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate 20 recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suite, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
90 many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
