TEACHERS WHO GET TOP PAY Hundred and Fifty-Two Elementary and Fenr In the High School. One hundred and fifty-two teachers Ini the elementary schools and four teachers In the high school will reach the maximum salary scale this year. This Is tinder the new schedule adopted last September. Thirty two teachers In the grades reached the maximum last year. Next year the promo tions In the grades will doubtless be larger while four teachers In the high school are scheduled to reach the maximum salary In another year's time. Under the new schedule, a teacher starts In the grade schools at a salary of $6(10 a year, $120 higher than the start under the old schedule. This Is for teachers who are normal school and college graduates. Teach ers who have not had that training, start In the grade schools at a salary of $420 the first year and receive $450 the second year, being placed on the same plan with grad uates at the opening of the third year. From then on they receive the same salary raises as the graduates. Starting at $o00 the first year, the college graduate receives $560 the second year, and together with the non-graduate, $900 the third year. The fourth year, the teachers receive S50, fifth year $700, sixth year $740, seventh year $780 and eighth year $3U. hlch Is the maximum under the new schedule. The old schedule was a follows: First year $380, second year $427.50, third year $475, fourth year $422.50, fifth year $570, sixth year $617.60, seventh year $665, the maximum. High School Salaries. Under the new schedule in the high school the teachers receive $fiG6 the first year, $760 the second, $S3 the third, i'.ftO the fourth and $1,00 the fifth year, which is the maxl mum. Of the aixty-one teachers in the high school, thirty-nine now receive the maximum pay. Heads of departments re calve $1,140 the first year and $1,233 the second. There are twelve heads of de partments. The promotion of the teachers Is not made simply on point of service, for merit largely enters Into the raise of salaries This Is especially the case with elementary teachers after they have taught six years. Before advancing to the $780, seventh year salary, they must prepare a thesis on some subject given tiiem by the superln tendent, and this procedure Is duplicated when they complete the seventh year and become candidates for the maximum sal ary of $S30, paid teachers In the elementary school, f jr the eighth year work, and sub sequent labors In the school room.

GREAT CS0WD OUT TO LISTEN He Is Denounced aa Exponent of Anarchy In Standing; I'p ior "Personal Liberty" Sends a Shot Back. If I am elected governor of Nebraska, and I expect to be, I will never sign a pro hibition bill and will oppose all laws, against Sunday theaters and base ball. I think prohibition strikes at the very foun dation of this nation of ours and robs the Individual of his personal rights." This waa Mayor Dahlman's challenge to Mrs. Mary Harris Armor at the Bcllevue Chautauqua Wednesday night. "Mayor Dahlman may not be governor after his speech tonight," was the response of Mrs. Armor, when she spoke In answer to the talk of Omaha's executive. Mrs. Armor is presldrnt of the Women's Chris tian Temperance union of Atlanta, Gtv. There was a huge crowd In the giant tent and people were standing many deep abeut the sides as tlie debate went on. The argument was many times heated and car ried a vein of sarcasm, but the talkers were good natured, though Intensely In earnest and when the end was reached. though Mrs. Armor had decidedly the bet ter of her antagon st In the number of sup porters and the warmth of their expression of enthusiasm. It wss evident the mayor had many sympathizers In the company, who. If they did not side with htm politi cally, applauded his views on prohibition. Mrs. Armor commented on this in her speech. The program Included two vocal solos by Miss Elizabeth Hamllng.of Omaha, a clever talk by George R. Stuart of Georgia on the subject, "Is Fun Divine or Devil ish?" and a moving picture exhibition. Not Hair-Palling- Matrh. The vast crowd was most orderly and appreciative, and Incidentally full ot tun. Judge A. L.
