TEACHERS GIVEN
SALARY ADVANCE

Especial Moline ServlceO
The board of education of the
East Moline township high school
last evening authorized an increase
of 81 800 a year for IL persons, IN
Guiding the music supervisor and
the clerk
Salary of superintendent John
w. Castro was increased from
So 800 to $500. The custodian of
the building will receive $3.50 a
month the year around. Harold
Heimbeck, head of the manual
training department and athletic
director, was given an increase OF
$500 a year. His salary will be
$500. Mr.. Heimbeck has directed
athletics at the high school for four
years without compensation.
All of the ten teachers will befie-
fit, and possibly two will receive the
newly adopted maximum of $1,000.
The new minimum is 81 800. Last
year the minimum was 81 200 and
the maximum 81 400.
East Moline's high school teach
ers have long been underpaid. The
result has been an unsettled condi-
ton in the school due to so many
designations. Only two of the teach
ers who were members of the staff
in 1918 are on the payroll today.
Inadequate compensation has been
the cause of 25 different teachers
leaving in the last four years.
This year the township board
has made a careful study of the
salary situation. A recent tabula-
ton of salaries paid teachers in
township and community high
schools of Al districts in Illinois
shows that East Moline has the
biggest surplus, yet has the low
est salary scale of the lot.
Practically II of the teachers
will be offered contracts. for the
next school year at advanced sal
aries.

Chicago, April 13.-Improyements

nois is indicated by definite signs,
according to the April bulletin of

favorable outlook.
From 925 firms in a wide range
Of industries reports were received
that they increased the number of
their employees Is per cent during
the month. The comment is made
in the bulletin that if the industries
were omitted which normally re-
duced their forces at this time of
year, the increase would be much
larger.
Fewer Men Seek Jobs.
Unemployment was another in
dex used by the board in .measur-
ing industrial activity, and in this
instance it is declared that the ex-
cess of workers seeking jobs at the
Illinois free employment offices

ed activity contemplated in con-
struction work. Permits issued

as large as in March last year;
were largest in nine years in Chi

than in February.
Gain in Steel Group.
The iron and steel group, con-
sidered by the board as one of the
most important in indicating the
general trend of employment, made
gain for the month Of 5.4 per

LARGE AUDIENCE
HEARS ORATORIO
BY TRINITY CHOIR

Some three hundred people heard
the sacred oratoria, Rossini's
"Stabat Mater" (Tribulation) sung
last night by choir of 81 voices at
Trinity Episcopal church. The
concert was the most pretentious
and artistic ever given by the choir,
which had rehearsed for three
months on the choruses. The finale,
ITO Him be Glory Evermore," by
the choir was the most impressive
choral number.
Solo parts were taken by Ben A.
Hartz, tenor; Mrs. Wallace War
rem, Miss Mile Beck, sopranos; ;
Ralph Syrett and E. E. Russell,
bassos Mr. Hartz' rendition of the
tenor aria, Lord, Vouchsafe Thy
Loving Kindness" was most
beautiful part of the oratorio and
the most familiar solo number. The
quartet sang the 'Sancta Mater
beautifully together and the So
prano aria, "Inflammatus ct accom-
sus," impressively sung by Mrs.
Warren and the choir was given an
exceptional rendition.
Miss Mile Beck, the director of
the choir, also a soloist, deserves
much of the credit for the success
of the presentation, as does Mrs.
Harvey Sangren, organist. The
organ numbers and accompaniment
showed to great advantage.
The offering, which amounted to
$40, will apply on the new organ
fund.
