FACTS REQARDINO KEYSTONE
SCHOOLS.
The New Law Fixing Minimum of
Salaries.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press gives some facts on school matters
in Pennsylvania which, in view of the
passage of the teachers' salary bill and
its approval by the governor, are of
considerable interest. The correspon
ient says:
The number of school districts affect
-3d is 1,125. There are but three coun
ties in the state that are exempt from
the operation of the law. These are
Philadelphia, Lancaster and Delaware,
[n Lancaster county there are but two
listricts where the average monthly sal
iry paid to teachers is as low as §35.
In Delaware county there is but one.
These two counties are shining ex
lmpies indicating a true appreciation
jf the utility of public schools.
In each of 31 counties there are more
than 20 districts in which the average
ialary is less than the new legal limit,
in 12 of these the number of such dis
tricts in each one exceeds 30. Craw
ford county has the unenviable distinc
tion of presenting the highest number
—57 out of the 65 districts. Bedford
itands next to Crawford with its 52
penurious districts. In the 12 districts
>f Fulton county 11 will feel the protent
touch of the law. So will4o of Mercer's
18. In the 18 districts of Snyder county
there is but one in which the taxpayers
nay feel easy, Selinsgrove borough.
Thirty-eight out of 44 districts in Somer
iet county will experience the salutary
senefits of the law. Susquehanna has
13 school distrtcts, and in 40 of these
the teachers will have occasion to re
joice. Wayne has 28 out of 30, and
Wyoming 27 out of 31 that the good law
will agitate. Washington county
jhows an exoellent record. Only two
af its 66 districts will be nettled by the
new order of things. Sad to say, in 44
t>f these the school year Is only seven
months, just the legal limit.
In 64 counties out of 67, the total
number, there are 881 school districts
wherein the average salary per month
is S3O or under. Fifty-four of these are
in Crawforn county and 52 in Bradford.
The latter has 59 school districts. Sus
quehanna has 38 such low-grade dis
tricts. In Bedford, Tioga, Wayne and
Wyoming the number is the same 26.
Blair, Chester, Montgomery, and Wash
ington have but one each; Cameron and
Northampton two, and in the remain
der the numbers vary from four to 24,
the latter Perry. The two exceptions
in all the 68 counties are Bucks and
Westmoreland. In one district in
Bucks, Bridgeton township, the aver
ige is s3l, and this is the lowest In
Westmoreland, Fairfield township, the
iverage is S3O 75, likewise the lowest
in that county. In the 48 districts of
Bucks there are but six having an aver
lge below $35; and in Westmoreland's
50 districts the number is the same.
In Thompson township, Fulton coun
ty, with itß seven schools, there are
two female "teachers" and their aver
age monthly salary (seven months) is
&18. The amount of tax levied in that
listrict in 1902 was $500; State oppro
priation $1,008.14. Let a charitable pen
refrain from indulging in comment!
The same average is paid in Pinegrove
listrict, Montour county. That dis
trict has one school blest with the at
tendance of eight pupils as reported
iast year. Perhaps $lB a month might
be considered extravagant under the
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1903.
circumstances. Theamountoftax lev- I
ied wan $72 7<>; state appropriation $91,. |
80. After paying the tectcherthe treas- I
urer apparently would have a cheerful |
balance of $38.56. If the new law does
not extinguish that district, the direct
ors will he obliged to nearly double the
teacher's salary, and this cannot be a
pleasing prospect |
Elkland Independent, Tioga county,
also has one school that flourishes un
der the weight of an expenditure of $lB
for its teacher, who administers to the ]
mental needs of 18 pupils. The tax
levied in that district last year was ,
slOl 68; state appropriations, $89.98, a
better showing than some others make.
Susquehanna county does not present
a favorable record. In that county
there are eight districts, where the
average salary is represented by these
startling tlgu res—sl9.42, $19.42, $19.42, I
$lO, $lB 86, $18.50, $18.42, $17,43. Apola- i
con township has the singular distinct- j
ion of paying the lowest sum. This i
district has eight scoools, taught by [
eight unblest female teachers. The |
total number of pupils last year thus I
economically instructed was 117, tax j
$625.93, state $567.86, school year, seven i
months. With a balance of $517.71 |
after paying the teachers, is there any :
excuse for such a miserly practice?
Yet even Apolacon can fling a taunt
at two districts in Wyoming county— j
Braintrim Independent and Meshoppen t
township, where the average salary is .
the same in oach, $16.71 —twin records 1
of discredit.
There is one district in Monroe coun
ty that deserves special mention by j
reason of its singularity. This is In
dependent school district. It has one j
school which accommodates 23 boys j
and 24 girls. There are two teachers j
in that school one male and one fe- !
male, according to the official report. ;
The salary of the former is S4O per |
month, that of the latter $6 per month, j
yielding to the happy teacher the im- !
posing sum of S4B for the school term 1
of eight months. There may be some i
mitigating circumstances connected j
with this curious case that do not ap- !
pear on the surface. Possibly, the j
youngwoman is the ambitious daughter
of some worthy farmer eager to satisfy, j
in a small way, the cravings of a hungry !
purse, or to lay something aside to j
soften the infirmities of old age. Who '
knows but that she will blossom !
into a successful teacher and that some
time in her life she will look back con
tentedly on the day of small thing?
Let us hope that the new law will pros- j
per, rather than blight, her modest as- j
pirations.
Let it not be forgotten that one-third
of the state appropriations is distribut
ed on the basis of the number of paid
teachers regularly employedfor the full
annual term of the district. Even in
this county of Bucks there is one dis
trict, Bridgeton township, above men
tioned, where there are four schoois in
which 138 pupils struggle with the per
plexities of education during seven
months of the year, and those four
schools (I blush to say it) have five
teachers, three males and two females,
to carry out the irksome business. This
district receives from taxpayers, $661.-
17, and from the state $1,080.81, a sum
that is augmented by the employment
of a superflou* teacher. Brideton can
not justly claim the admiration of
mankind.

Letter to W. H. Cramer.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: The cost of labor in paint
ing a house is three times the cost of
the paint. You seem to save a little
when you buy a lower priced paint,
but you certainly add to the cost of
labor when you pay for spreading more
gallons.
You don't even save on the paint.
Devoe Lead and Zinc costs a little more
than mixed paints, but ic takes fewer
gallons and the cost is actually less.
Wears longer too—longer than mixed
paints, longer than lead and oil.
You don't save a cent.
Mr. O. Loch, a painter in Magnolia,
Miss., writes:
After years of experiments with
mixed paints, I find that your paint
covers more surface to the gallon than
any I have ever used. For density and
wearing qualities it cannot be excelled.
Compared with lead and oil: A
house belonging to the late President
of the Croton River Bank, atßrewsters,
N. Y., (cost $31,000) was painted with
lead and oil in 'B4 at a cost of S4OO. In
'B7—three years—it was repainted with
Devoe at a cost of $350. In '97 the
house was still all right.
Results; lead and oil—cost S4OO, wear
three years; Devoe—cost S3SC, wear ten
years.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & Co.,
New York.

AN ANSWER TO INQUIRIES.
Numerous inquiries have recently '
been received at the New York and !
Philadelphia offices of the "Mercantile !
and Financial Times" asking for infor- j
mation as to the methods and business j
of the Storey Cotton Company, whose
general offices are located in the Bourse
Building; Philadelphia, as well as to
the desirability and value of investment
made with this company. On several
occasions in the past there appeared in '
these colums extended and favorable
references to this company from the
pen ofour Philadelphia correspondent,
and we have carefully watched the pro
gress and operation of the company in
order to determine whether his com
mendation was justified by subsequent
developments.
Justice to a worthy corporation re
quires that we should extend the
editorial endorsement of this paper to
this company at the present time, and
to say that it has more than fulfilled
every claim orginally advanced in its
behalf. It is only simply truth and
justice to say that the management of j
the company is today entitled to the
highest oraise and commendation for
the conscientious straightforward
manner in which they have carried out
all of their obligations to those who
have become indentified with the enter
prise as investors, and we are full war
ranted in making the assertion that no
financial or investment institution in
the country can show a cleaner, more
satisfactory or honorable record in its
liberal treatment of investors and the
public at large than the Storey Cotton
Company.
We are much gratified, of course,
that the later development of the com
pany's business and its fair and equit
able methods have justified the early
predictions of our Philadelphia corres
pondent, and it is equally a pleasure to
add that the company are to-day

make such investments will placetheir
