our educational problems are dis
regarded. The present serious short
age of teachers for rural areas
will continue, Miss Condor pointed
out, until the neglected condition
of salaries and working conditions
are improved.
In speaking specifically to the
graduating class Miss Condor said
that "love of children" makes a good
teacher. Neither a mortarboard nor
degree makes teacher. Teaching
is wonderful career" said Miss Con-
don. She feels it was the duty of
every practicing teacher to inspire
someone else to enter the profession.
In closing Miss Condor expressed
the hope that the minimum require
ment for teachers would be raised so
that the standards of teaching and
the service to our youth would be
upon.

Chest Survey Covers SIS
Counties; Number x-Rayed
More Than Doubled

Intensified chest X-ray surveys
have recently been completed in six
Montana counties to bring to 55 the
number of Montana counties surveyed
under the intensified statewide pro-
gram. 1t is expected it will require
several more months work to com
plete follow-up activities and work
involved in developing statistical re-
ports and civilizations of the state
wide intensified survey in the SO
counties.
Mobile X-ray units operating in
Blaine, Hill, Gallatin, Park, Broad
water and Meagher counties X-rayed
34,323 adults (12 years and older)
This is more than double the number
of people X-rayed in these six coun-
ties in previous chest survey pro-
grams.
The number X-rayed represents
1882 of the 6-county areas adult
population.
Montana's intensified chest X-ray
survey program is comparatively
sponsored and financed by the Mon
tana Division of the American Can
Ger Society, the Montana Tuberculo-
sis Association and the State Board
of Health. The intensified, statewide
survey program will be completed
after the remaining county, Jeffer-
son, has been surveyed, necessary
follow-up work completed and sur
vey data for all 56 counties evaluated.

MONTANA EMPL OYMENT SET new
RECORD LAST MONTH

struction employment to have de-
clined 500 from year ago, and 1000
from the level of July, 1862. Metal
mining was down 500 from its year
ago level, partially due to the I'M
certainties attending the wage nego-
tiations.
Hiring of additional miners in the
metal mines of the state is being
stimulated by recruitment at stra-
tegic points throughout the coun-
try. To a large extent the deple-
ton in miner ranks is due to scare
ity of qualified and experienced
applicants. With stable employment
conditions restored, there is re-
newed hope that the job openings
there can be filled.
Offsetting the July declines were
gains of 700 in wholesale and retail
trade, 500 in manufacture of durable
goods, 400 in finance, insurance and
real estate and 100 in industrial serv-
ice establishments.

~ MONTANA SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO Benefit
FROM One Bill PASSED BY 84TH CONGRESS
BY CONG LEE METCALF
BY CONG. LEE METCALF

My committee felt that this would
work hardship on the local districts.
So last August, we postponed the eff
fective date of this new formula for
a year. The year has now passed
and by the present amendment we
hold off application of this discrimi-
natory formula for another year.
Another section of the bill we have
just passed provides for a transfer of
temporary school facilities. Public
Law 815 takes into account sub
stantial - although temporary - in
crease in school enrolment In that
case, the Commissioner of Education
may furnish temporary school facili-
ties to take care of this increase in
stead of making payments for con-
Istruction of permanent schools. Or
he may pay the district the cost of
temporary facilities. The new bill
authorizes the donation of such facili-
ties to the school district.
One of the most important parts
of the bill from Montana's point
of view is the section providing
payments to schools educating chill
dren living on tax-exempt federal
property. These are mostly Indian
children.
This section expired at the end of
June this year. We extended it for
another year and made two changes
designed to facilitate the absorption
of Indian children into our public
schools.
Another part of the bill authorizes
the commissioner to make payments
in hardship cases-such as when the
local school district cannot finance
its share of the cost of a project.
The Montana districts participat-
ing in the program set up under Pub
lie Laws 815 and STA are: Arlee it.

The first session of the Saith Con-
gress passed bill that will mean
thousands of dollars to % Montana
school districts in "federally inn
pacted" areas.
These are areas where school
enrolment is substantially in
creased by federal activities
for example, the Great Falls Air
Force Base, Canyon Ferry dam
near Helena, the Rocky Mountain
Laboratory at Hamilton. And, of
course, we in Montana have the
additional problem of educating
Indian children, who also are fed
orally connected.
This aid for local school districts
is provided for in Public Laws 815 anc
874.
Under Public Law 815, federal pay
ments go to help build schools in dis
tricts burdened with substantial in
creases in school enrolment due to
federal activity. Under Public Law
874, the federal government helps
operate and maintain schools in these
federally impacted areas.
The House Education Committee,
of which | am a member, recon-
mended that the House extend these
beneficial programs and suggested
some changes necessary to correct
inequities and to improve their oper-
alton. The House and Senate agreed.
This program began in 1850 and
was to have expired in 1858. 1t was
continued two years ago, in part be-
cause of the excellent testimony pre-
sented to my committee by our Super
of Public Instruction Miss
Mary M. Condor.
One of the inequities is an amend
ment written into the law by the Re-
publican 83rd Congress. 1t would re-
quire local school to absorb an in
crease of federally connected chill
dren of up to three per cent of the
schools enrolment prior to the fed
eral impact.
Application of this new formula
would have cost Montana school
districts approximately $4,000 a
year. 1t would have meant cut
in all the program and eliminated
payments for operation and main
tenance to several school districts
in Montana-and several hundred
over the nation.

montana InQuStrlaI employ
ment rose in July to record
setting 161, 800 wage earners,
according to Chadwick I'll.
Smith, chairman of the state
unemployment compensation
commission. Highest previous
marks were 161, 400 in August
of 1854, 161, 800 in July of 1864
and $1,000 in August of 1862.
"The present employment level was
reached" Chairman Smith said, sin
face of several wage disputes which
discouraged new hiring but which
have since been settled without work
stoppage. Further gains in August
and September may quite logically
follow"
The top level reached a year ago
IN August, Smith explained, was fol-
lowed by a wage dispute starting that
month and idling from 5000 to 10000
workers in the metal mining and
processing industries. Effects of this
let-down persisted even after its set
Element in October, and each follow
ing month showed deficit from the
preceding year, until June, which was
followed by July figure topping
last July by 800 and setting an all
time mark for employed Montanans.
The states labor force, Smith says,
has maintained steady growth in
recent years, but the actual number
employed has varied Transition from
the heavy construction years of 1862
and 1868, with Hungry Horse and
Canyon Ferry dams furnishing thou
sands of job openings, resulted in a
showdown in 1854 from which the
employment figures are just now
emerging.
That the growth in labor force
has not been fully equalled by the
growth of job opportunity is indi-
Gated In an increased number of
available work-applicants. In July
there were 4,62S such work-appi-
cants in files of the states employ
ment service offices, about 400
more than in July year ago, and
$500 more than the unemployed
list in July of 1852. The present
figure is the highest in any July
for the past eight years.
"With the labor outlook cleared of
work stoppage threats" Smith says,
there is good reason to believe COM
ng months will show even greater
and fewer workers un-
able to get jobs. The heavy construc-
ion period is giving way to increased
employment in permanent
plants and enterprises"
A notable instance of this is the I
transition from construction to pro- ]
luction at the aluminium plant at
Columbia Falls. Construction crews of
Up to 1900 there have set the stage
or permanent employment of $50 I
