Railroad bonds were in broad de-

The general tone of trading in all
sections was cheerful though the

Will Open
September 9Th

Following recommendation to
the board of education Tuesday
night of accepting four more res
ignations on the faculty of New
ark schools, Superintendent Paul
B. Edwards warned that future
designations would have to be
carefully considered before teach1
ers would be released from theiH
contracts. He cited the shol t
age of teachers.
designations accepted were
those of Ruth Johnson, recentl :
married; P. H. Sager, Louis
Wiseman, and Edith KautskY|
Appointed were William Dodge
in the machine shop, a gradu&
ate of Ohio State university,
with IA years experience; Miss
Garnet Sullivan of Baltimore,
o., who has taught four years
at Lancaster and one year at
Canton, o., and a graduate of
Ohio State, and Elizabeth Burris,
graduate of Muskingum college,
who comes to Newark well rec
commended after one years teach
ing experience at Byesville, O.
Discussing the difficulties of
transportation this coming win
ter for athletic teams, Superin-
tendent Edwards informed the
board that trains will be used
for the most part, at least for
football schedules, but that it
will be necessary to "see what
happens" before basketball is
considered.
The school calendar Of vaca-
tions was approved on recon-
mendations Of the superintendent.
The new school year will start
Tuesday, September 8, following
Labor Day.
Janitors and clerks contracts
for the new school year were ap-
proved. A letter was read from
Harold Weaver, recording secre-
val VI Vic L IL cilldll anu JdIlIIOIS
union, requesting the board to
give serious consideration to
raising salaries in that depart
ment. During the discussion
members of the board were in
agreement that the salaries in
some cases were inadequate but
regretted they were unable to
remedy the situation because of
lack Of funds and growing def
icits because of loss of sales tax
revenue.
Bills were allowed in the
amount Of $10OO.67. Tentatively
approved were bills for national
defense totaling $9,782.72, checks
to be issued when money is re-
ceived from the government.
