SCHOOL BARD
IS ORGANIZED
FOR next YEAR
Hiring of teachers Delayed
Until fter Election
ForExtra Levy

Trustees bf school district No. /
effected organization for the COM
ing year, at a meeting Saturday
night. Election of teachers for
the city chools was postponed UNI
til aftg the special election
scheduld Saturday to determine
whethe the Red Lodge schools
will receive the same extra levy
as last year, or whether the
schools will be forced to operate
for only part of the year 1933-34.
Newly elected trustees, S. G.
Merriman and John Castagne, met
for the first time with the board,
otherwise consisting of J. j. Ger
ondale, c. C. Rowan, Harry Bailey
and Carl Pelo, clerk. Mr.. Geron-
dale was reelected chairman of
the board and George DeBourg
was elected to serve as clerk.
Within a week after Saturdays
election, notice of which is print
ed elsewhere in this paper, the
board will meet for the purpose OF
hiring teachers for the coming
year. The trustees want to be
sure that funds for a full school
year will be available before Of
fering contracts to teachers. Re-
fusal of the 12-mill levy would
mean that Red Lodge schools
could not be operated enough
days during the year to allow
their being accredited by the state
board of education, and teachers
would be asked to accept part
time contracts.
Considerable lowering of educa-
tional standards, with detriment
to school children of Red Lodge as
compared to those in other Mon
tana cities, would result from
shortening the normal school per-
iod. Loss of teaching talent
would be inevitable, as many OF
the best teachers might be unable
to carry on under abbreviated
contracts. 1t has been previously
noticed by the board that Red
Lodge has difficulty in retaining
competent teachers at the COM
paratively low salaries paid in the
local system.
Local queries have revealed that
the average salary paid to Red
Lodge teachers is sufficient for
their living purposes, and only a
modest return on their invest
ments for education. In consider
ing teachers salaries, many peo-
pie overlook the fact that every
teacher, in order to qualify under
the state school laws, must be
possessed of a college education
representing a considerable cost
in money and time.
The maximum load is now be-
ing handled by Red Lodge teach
ers, and further condensation of
pupils in classrooms, to permit
the hiring of fewer teachers,
would be out of keeping with
American principles of schooling,
according to school officials.
Crowded schoolrooms are charac-
teristic of public school systems in
some foreign countries, such as
Finland, where common education
consists of little more than in
struction in reading and writing,
but the American system is calcu-
lated to give the pupil a better
education than he could receive in
the public schools of any other
country-hence the restriction on
the number of pupils who "a be
taught by a single teacher.

LE GAL EXPERT
REMINDS Of
DICKENS
Harry F. Payer, of Cleveland,
Brings Wide knowledge of
Law and Diplomacy

A judicial expert who might
have stepped from the pages Of
Dickens "Pickwick Papers" has
come to the State Department as
Assistant Secretary of State in
charge Of legal affairs.
He is Harry F. Payer, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, close personal friend
Of Assistant Secretary Of State
Raymond Moley.
He brings back to the depart
ment the expert knowledge on
legal affairs that formed part of
former Secretary Of State Henry
D. Stimson's qualifications.
Short and Plump
Bearing a striking resemblance
to one of Dickens characters, he
is an elderly little man, short and
plump, with buShy curly hair that
stands out in effusion on both
sides of a head that gives the
appearance of being rather large
and is bald on the top.
A rotund face normally masked
by serious and scholarly coun-
tenance assumes joviality when
twinkles light up the eyes, and he
places one at ease with gracious
affability. A penchant for high
collars and cravatS accentuates
his resemblance to a Pickwick
character.
Although possessed with an
everready flow of wit, he is new
in the field of statecraft and
takes his duties with conscien-
tiousness that almost approaches
the point of exaggeration.
Asked what induced him to en-
ter the Government, he replied
in earnest:
"A desire to render what little
service / can to my country in
this great, critical and interest
ing period of our renaissance"
Noted Lawyer
A noted trial lawyer in Cleve-
land, he served as Assistant City
Solicitor for the City of Cleve-
land under Newton D. Baker from
1901 to 1907, and was chairman
of the Committee on Legislation
and Judicial Reform Of the
Cleveland Bar Association from
1920 to 1925.
In the latter year he became a
member of the Judicial Council
of the State of Ohio, and was
one Of three lawyers appointed to
deal with a survey of the Ad-
ministration of Justice in the
State Of Ohio.

NEW YORK. April 6.-(UP).
A nondescript fleet of sea and air
ships cruised yesterday over the
watery grave of the dirigible Ak
ron, which went hurting to de-
struction in a black and furious
thunderstorm Monday night off
the New Jersey coast.
Five naval ships, led by the
cruiser Portland. at least Is coast
guard vessels and 80 airplanes
covered almost 100 square miles
in their search for bodies of the
victims.
Somewhere in the choppy seas
lay the wreck Of the dirigible,
presumably still clasping in its
twisted framework and fabric all
or nearly all-of the missing
II bodies.
The sea was comparatively
calm and visibility was good, but
the search was devoid of results.
Among the vessels on the scene
was the naval tug. Kalmia, carry
ing graphing equipment and
hosting apparatus, her officers
hopeful of picking up part of the
wreckage. The navy department
is anxious to obtain such debris
since it might aid in solution of
the mystery which surrounds the
disaster.
So far little has been found. A
coast guard vessel picked up a
fve-foot piece of aluminium pipe.
another boat found life raft and
several bits of fabric from the
giant crafts hulk have been found
floating on the sea.
Among the planes engaged in
the search were half dozen ma.
val ships piloted by "helt divers"
who ranged as far as 100 miles
out to sea, and as far south as
