BSADFTrT.T) &EOTXATOB CO, - Atlanta, Oa, School Board Talks Salaries of Teachers Some of Them Refuse to Accept Amount Offered and Othen Will Be Employed. The hoard of education held a brief spe cial session last evening and heard reports and listened to recommendations made by Superintendent Bcverldge In connection with the beginning of the school year on September S. It developed that a number of the teach ers, tllHi-atlsfled with the salary allotment, had refused to s!gn the contracts sent to them and thus created severnl vacancies. In addition to the election of Irma Walker. Anna Van Druff. Henrietta Sperle and Prances Wood, the latter a kindergarten teacher, the teachers' committee recom mended the election of Charlotte Hemmln ger. Ora Fulmcr, Hazel Gooch, MattleA. Phillips, Margery Turner and Anna Ken neday, and also Miss Laura Schlbold, if her certificate proved satisfactory. Several of the teachers who had been scaled down In their pay through the oper ation of rule 5 asked to be restored. Among them was Miss Carson, who asked that her salary be restored to $70 after having been reduced to J15 under the rule alluded to. Miss Walker and Miss Jonnson had presented similar requests, but after con siderable discussion the board declined to make exceptions to the rule. The request of Miss Maude McAneney and Miss Rupp, of the Avenue B building, for an Increase of $10 Instead of $& a month under rule 5 was granted when It was shown that each of the teachers had not been given proper credit. A general dis cussion of the methods of determining the ratings of teachers followed, and Superin tendent Bevcrldge said the ratings had been obtained by calling upon the principals and taking their reports of the general ef fdency of the work of their teachers, and also by visiting the rooms and watching the work of the teacher. President Tin ley was a little suspicious of this method and thought there should be some way de vised more definite and that would be less likely to work an Injustice to the teachers. The teachers' committee was authorised to fill further vacancies that might occur be tween the present time and the opening of the schools. Upon the recommendation of the finance committee, following a statement of Sec retary Hughes indicating the necessity for the purchase of an adding machine for use In the secretary's office, the offer of the Burroughs company to supply a new $376 machine less the usual 2 per cent discount and a reduction of $50 was accepted. The net cost of -the machine will be $318. It was pointed out that the machine was neces sary to insure accuracy In handling the long columns of figures connected with the work of the secretary's office and the finance committee. The board authorised the payment of the typewriter company that supplied seven new L. C. Smith typewriters at $100 and took In exchange seven old Remingtons at a gross total' of $210. with other credits that still further reduced the bill. Thieves -Steal 1 Railroad Checks fsMnnajnnna) Break Into Great western work Train and Make Off with Negotiable Paper. , Robbing railroad boarding camp cars haa become a new and profitable business by Council Bluffs thieves who have developed such consummate skill that they can enter a car filled with sleeping men and rob them all without disturbing them. A week ago a car was robbed and the men lost about everything of value they possessed Including watches and money and some of the provisions that the cook had prepared for breakfast. Monday, night a car on the Oreat Western waa invaded and a bundle of about forty certified pay checks and $19 were stolen. The foreman reported the loss to the police yesterday morning. The checks are negotiable and for that reason are very dangerous. Their payment at the bank upon which they were drawn has ' been stopped, and the person who presents them there for payment will be re fused and will have to tell where he got them and lose the amount paid. . It will make business men cautious about cashing any Great Western checks except when presented by persons they know. Th eneexs represent a large sum of money. as many of them are for more than $70. YOUNG WOMEN WILL MAKE REPORTS OF THEIR TRIP Misses Howletto ana MeAneney to Speak Fridsr Nlgat After Trln to Geneva, Wis.

They were aent to the national meeting for the purpose of getting Into touch with the greatest work ers in ine movement and acquiring the lat est ideas.

There are still a number of the member snip workers wnose report cards have not been turned tn, and all such are earnestly urged to attend the Friday night meeting and make their reports. It Is believed that when these reports are made the total membership will be found to be very close to the greatly desired 1,000 mark.

The solution to the problem lies in the populating of that wonder ful section known as the "Golden West." The stories-that have been told about this wonderful section are true; they are not. exaggerations, in fact, they are in most instances the very opposite, because, when you dis cover the vast possibilities that nature holds in store on the other side of the Rockies you will gauge people by your own experience in the east and then you will know that the truth in all its vastness will make your story seem like a fairy tale; and when you tell ' others you, too, will hold the most wonderful stories in reserve. Just to show how some succeed read the following; S. L. Bennett, 2 miles north of Medford, realized, in 1908, from 2Vi acres in Newton Pippins and Ben Davis apples, 3,500 boxes of merchantable fruit which brought $5,250 or $2,100 per acre. Right in this section there are acres that produce $4,000 worth of fruit at -average prices in a 6ingle season. It's hard for the average easterner tp grasp this story as a real truth when he has fre quently 80 or 160 acres, all of which do not net him $4,000 in two seasons. The Omaha Bee and The Twentieth Century Farmer wish to convince the people about the wonderful possibilities of the west and they are back ing up the Western Land-Products Exhibit because they realize that an exhibit of this kind will show people more of the real truth about this wonderful section than any amount of pure talk. And their real interest in the upbuilding of the empire is due to the fact that they realize that it is upon the west that Omaha must depend for its future progress and greatness.
