"The Teachers Minimum Salary Law."
I am Informed that Id some of our
neighboring counties that certain
school boards have a determination to
not hire teaches holding protuwlonal or
permanent certificates, because of the
new law fixing their salaries at not less
than 150 per month. In -'order to avoid
tuoh a possibility In our county I
present these facts regarding the new
law, to directors and patrons who have
not had access to It.
Tbe Law provides first; that teachers
holding provisional certificates shall
receive not less than $40 per month
and second; that teachers having 2
years successful experience, holding a
professional or permanent certificate or
Normal school diploma shall receive
not lees than tf0 per month.
It also provides that In all cases
where the salary required under this
act Is greater than that paid during the
year beglunlng June 1, l'JOrt, the state
will pay the difference. The money to
pay this difference will be taken from
the 'general appropriation before it is
distributed.
This difference will not be paid until
after the close of the school year, the
same as haB always been the custom re
garding appropriations. It will there
fore be necessary for the boards to pro
vide, either by loan or levy, sufficient
money to pay the teachers and this dif
ference will, at the close of the year,
be repaid by the state.
If a position paid 135 per month last
year and a teacher holding a provisional
certificate teaches it this year, the
state will pay the difference between
135 and 140. If a teacher holding a
higher certificate teaches the same
school the state will pay the difference
between. 135 and 150.
It is clear that the advance required
by law will la reality not hi a hardship
ott the townships. Instead of avoiding
the professional teachers' the boards
should seek them. Each district can
thus have the benefit of the best trained
teachers and without any extra expenBe
in the end.
I do not wish to be understood as ad
vising that good teachers holding pro
visional certificates be "turned down"
in favor of those holding higher
grade certificates. I have been prompt
ed to make this statement so that all
boards and patrons mlghtknow the pro
visions of the new law and how the in
crease Is to be paid.
School boards are now justified in hir
ing the best teachers they can get with
out regard to the class of certificate
held- This new law takes effect June
1st, 1907.

A person who has seen the new state
capitol at EarriBburg. which cost thir
teen million, and the Congressional
Library at Washington, D. C, which
cost six and one half million, can have
some conception of the graft there was
' in the capitol building at Harrisburg.
In Pennsylvania In 1900 there were
10,632 deaths from tuberculosis,. 4,039
from typhoid fever, 2,484 from diph
theria, '1,683 from whooping cough,
1,585 from measles, 525 from scarlet
fever and 85 from malarial fever.
Total deaths from the seven diseases
20,987.
It is not a good policy for-a large
business firm to appear before the
, people in an old-fashioned, carelessly
written, small-sized ad. People are
apt to judge the business by the ad.
Better to fix up a bright, catchy ad
vertisement and - take a space big
enough to credibly represent the
business.

A New Strain of Honey Bees.
i Ueynoldsville, Pa., June 20.
Reynoldsvllle Is troubled by the little
butty bee. For the last month, ever
since hues have begun to swarm, they
generally migrate to some neighbor's
back yard and if a Hue full of nice white
clothes are handy, In a short time they
need washing. Mombera of the town
council have been Interviewed on the
matter and the council perhaps will be
Induced to take steps toward stopping
it, as It Is very annoying to the ones
afflicted by the Industrious bee. Beyn
oldsville correspondent Punxsutawney
Spirit.
The ordinary bees on their first
cleansing flight after long confinement
In winter or early spring, are liable to
soil objects within 50 or KM) feet of their
hives, and without regard to color, but
at other times, and especially In the
swarming season, they will not do this;
and a swarm may be wrapped up for
hours In the daintiest linen without It
being Boiled.
But the bees referred to In the above
clipping are an entirely different strain
of bees and are procured by a cross be
tween a would-bee reporter and a vir
gin dally rewspaper. They will be
known as the Polkadots. This new
strain of bees promises to revolutionize
bee keeping; more than half of the bees
in town have already been purchased
by enterprising bee men within a week.
With these new bees you can throw
away your swarm catcher, discard all
your non-swarmlng devices. Abandon
the idea of sometime developing a strain
of non-swarming bees (for bees will
swarm whenever conditions are favor
able), but If you will get in possession of
these new bees, Bave your old linen and
window curtains Place your empty
hives In some desirable place, hang up
some white clothes around them. These
bees have such a mania for dotting
white olothes that the absconding
swarms will be attraoted by the white
clothes, and after doing justice to the
clothes and finding a new home there
waiting for them, they will enter It and
go to work, and you bave escaped the
most perplexing part of bee keeping.
This seems almost too good to be true.
It may only be another case of a dally
paper In a small town being driven to
desperation for want of manuscript; or
it might be that the editor was so busy
guarding the rest of the capitol build
ing that be over-looked the above ar
ticle. For although some pretty "big
oneB" appear In the Spirit at times, they
are generally labeled In some way.
However, it is claimed by those who
have had experience with these bees
that where the bee keeper Is on very
bad terms with bis neighbor, these
characteristics are manifest to a slight
degree, the more antagonistic the more
perceptible, just like chicken and dog
tracks In the garden. Persons wishing
to test some of these remarkable bees,
or wishing any Information In regard to
them can address,

and was confined to the house nearly all

that the shadow of death was darkening
their home.
