Prepare For War In China

Shanghai, March 2+(AP)-Both Chinese and JAP
anese were grooming their ~trappings of war outside of
Shanghai, as formal peace negotiations got under way
today in the international settlement.
The first session was brief, and both sides gloomy
when they filed from the British consulate at the end
of the session. Japanese were represented as refusing
to accept the Chinese viewpoint that they should with
draw entirely and quickly, leaving the zone in the hands
of the Chinese police.
Further complicating matters, came conflicting re-
ports of political differences among the various Can

STATE FILES FOR

SCHOOL BOARDS OF
COUNTY AGREE ON
TUITION, SALARIES
Uniform Tuition Charge of
Five Dollars Decided
at Meeting Here

Meeting with the county
superintendent of schools at
Red Lodge Saturday, board
members of the eight high
schools in Carbon county
adopted a uniform salary
scale, clarified and stand
ardized the matter of tuition
in county school districts.
A resolution was adopted after
an all-morning discussion, setting
minimum and maximum salaries of
teachers, which were decided upon
as: minimum high school salary,
$3.50 a year; maximum high
school salary, $1,450 a year; max
mum salary of coaches, 81, 600;
minimum salary for grade school
teachers in districts maintaining
high schools, $1,000; maximum
salary, $1,150.
In the matter of buttons, it was
recommended by Miss Duffield,
county superintendent, that no dis
trict which maintains a school
should be Obliged to pay tuitions
on pupils attending in another dis
trict, which recommendation was
put in form of a resolution and
adopted. An abuse of the rule, it
was seen, would lead to the dou-
Bile expenditure Of public moneys,
as each district purchases equip
ment and pays salaries on the basis
of expected attendance, and should
not be obliged to pay for i~nstruc-
ton of district pupils in other
schools.
In the light Of adopted resolu-
ton, it was decided that a fixed,
standard rate of tuition-$5 a
month per pupil, payable in adj
vance-will be charged by each
school district.
The meeting was held on sugges-
ton of several county school
boards. Representatives of the
boards of Carbon high school at
Red Lodge, Bearcreek, Belfry,
Bridger, Fromberg, Joliet, Edgar,
and Roberts high schools attend
ed. DR.. G. F. Tidyman of Joliet pre-
sided as chairman, Ronald Kretzer
