N. D. SCHOOL DIRECTOR --
TAKES EMPHATIC STAND
Opposes Repeal of Teachers
Minimum Wage Law, Issue
at June. Primaries
(By United PreSS)

Grand Forks, N. D., May 18-
A. NJ. Kvello of Lisbon, president
Of the North Dakota School Direc-
tors: association, took an emphatic
stand here last night against repeal
;Of the teachers minimum wage law,
an issue at the primary election in
June. -
1.-The minimum wage law for
teachers is first and last an effic-
iency measure" Mr.. Kvello declared
intimating that the minimum should
be raised rather than lowered.
The statement, coming as it did
from the head of the school dir
rectors, upon whose aid the oppon-
ents of the law had largely counted
was considered a, staggering blow
to-. those working for it's repeal.J
At Minot school directors of the
Northwest voted unanimously for
the preservation of the law, altho
many members had come to the
meeting sincere in their belief that
the measure should be repealed.
Mr.. Kvello spoke before the
Northeast division of the State
Educational Association which is ex-
pected to 60 on record as did the
Valley City hnd Minot sectional
conferences for maintaining the law
but repeating some phases such as
the required advance of $50 for
each years experience. This section
some educators say, often permit an
inferior teacher to draw greater
salary than one of superior quail
tications, simply because she has
been longer in the service. Mrs.
Barry of Larimore president of the
Parent Teachers Association, will
also go on record against repeating
the law in an address at this meet
ing.
The minimum wage law passed
last session OF the state legislature
fixes a minimum salary but raises
requirements of teachers providing
that after August 1923 no one shall
teach in North Dakota who has not
a high school education or its equiv
alent.
Minimum salaries range from $50
a month on a twelve months basis
for less than high school training
up to $1O8.S3 for college trained
with an $50 additional for each year
in the service.
1T will take" said Mr.. Kvello,
"only slight calculations to figure
out the possibility Of laying by any
thing on this schedule"
Over half of the twenty-five mil
lion youths Of school age in the
United States are taught, the speak
er said, by teachers without ex-
perience or training. Less than one
fifth of the teachers have as much
as; high school education plus two
years Of professional training.
In North Dakota last year five
thousand teachers received six and
a half million dollars per annum.
Twenty five millions were spent for
games and shows; thirteen millions
for soft drinks, etc.
During the war; added Mr..
Kvello, "wc spent millions upon mil
lions upon officers training camps,
Today we are sending to the Little
Red School House, the greatest and
most important training camp in the
world, over five hundred thousand
unframed leaders.

Mrs. Hallan Huffman Of this city

Mrs. Hallan Huffman Of this city
an active Auxiliary worker and past
president OF the local unit was elec-
ted as chairman, Mrs. G. w. Bow
man of Pine River was elected vice

yhortly prior to the state convention.
Mrs. M. E. Witnro of International
Falls attended the sessions with a
view to organizing an Auxiliary unit
in that city. Altogether a very prof
liable convention was held and the
delegates from out of town were
very we'll impressed with Bcmidii
and the program arranged for the
meetings. Practically all of the dele
gates returned to their homes, all
feeling that much good has been
accomplished through mingling with
delegates from other Auxiliary units.

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

A lady called the office yester-
day and asked us to look up an ad-
vertisement which appeared in the
Pioneer last fall relative to carpet
weaving, which we were pleased to
do. .."
The lady had lost track of the
place and the name but remembered
that Someone had advertised to do
carpet weaving.
When you want to talk to people,
when they are in a mood to listen

where our subscribers look for in

Bond Market

New York, Oct 5. During the
early hours prices went higher
again today IN the bond MARKET
Dealings were spread out over .
large number Of issues.
However, In the late afternoon
there was . substantial reaction.
especially in the foreign list Both
French issues got slightly below
Wednesdays close and United
Kingdom issues, were on fraction
ally. Probably this was nothing
more than profit taking by specula-
tors.
Foreign bonds we're particularly
strong early, although advances in
most cases we're confined to frac-
ton Of q point United Kingdom
5hs of 1897 sold up to 104. The
price of this bond has been pecu-
liarly responsive to the news from
the near east. Probably also there
was some reflection today from the
address Of Sir Reginald McKenna
before the bankers association
Yesterday. The French issues
showed q more confident feeling.
Even more than the obligations OF
Great Britain, the power partfcu-
larly concerned, French bonds have
been sensitive to the trend Of opin-
ion as to the outcome in Thrace.
Among the other foreign issues the
greatest activity centered in Meth
erlands IS and the Japanese bonds.
In the industrial list the feature
was United States Realty deben-
ture S. of 1924. These today equal
led their high price for year year
at 9s1z. up point over yesterday.
The bond is redeemable at los on
any interest date on three weeks
notice, the next coupon being pay
able on Jan. l, next. Reports as
to the earnings Of the company are
very favorable. u. s. Rubber re-
funding IS were also active at fiuc-
tuating prices. Chile Copper Is
sold up to above Ill. The controll-
, ing influence was the advance in
the price Of the stock into which
bonds are convertible.
Among the rails confident buy
ing was noted of the st. Paul is
sues. Buyers of both the bonds and
the preferred stock are apparently
confident OF further improvement.
Southern Railway IS among second
/ grade issues and Central Railroad
| of New Jersey SIS among the very
high grade scored advances today.
In the speculative list Seaboard IS
also made small gains.
An active demand was noted for
| Commonwealth Power Is OF 1947, a
large block of which was offered
last May at 80. Sales were made
today at 91H.
