FORES DM G F! F AT FOSFEF! GIN D Normal School Graduates to 1 Be Engaged' at Starting Salary of $110 Per Month For Coming Year. MISS SOPHIA "TOWNSEND FRENCH TEACHER, QUITS Other Vacancies to Be Filled By Board-Building In spection Coming According "to the report ot Superintendent Hug, made pub lic last night, the Salem schools had 1263 pupils last year In the four high school grades, this in cluding the last year otthe jun ior high. The average daily at tendance was 1012.3 pupils. Of these pupils, 350 came in from districts outside of Salem; most of them from Marlon coun ty, a feood many from Polk, and some from each of a dozen oth ers. Th3 cost per pupil was $93.13, a decrease of $2.95 per pup:l Since the, previous year, when the cost mas $96.08. Salem will col lect. this, cost f ron the genera school fund, that is to give free high school privileges to every child in the state, wherever he may live. 1022 Tuitions High . The estimate in the tentative budget, discussed at the - school board meeting last night, is that the tuition receipts for 1922-23 will be. close to $3,000 higher than' they were last year. While some tmall reduction in per capita cost s expected, t can hardly be more than the reduction last year; it will not be, enough to seriously affect the revenues from teaching though last year the saving of $2.95 per pupil meant more than $1,000 In all. "The outside attendance in the high school is found to be 2 per cent of the total attendance. Inspection 'to Be Made Tha board is to start Thursday on a lour of examination of alt the schools, to ee what repairs are needed. The hoard has con sidered an appropriation of $10, 000. for general repair work. It is false economy to not spend this money, if we have it. said Director Winslow. "The properties have been skimped and neglevted, and they need thor ough going over." waterproofing some of the Prick-walled buildings that have been water-soaked by winter rains, notably the Garfield school, and then tinting the in side wails that have been dis colored, will be one line of im proyement suggested. County Court lauded The board found more money in its pocket last year, than it had expected, through the appor tionment of the county funds. we ye got to take our hats off off to the county court." said Chairman Winslow. "They have certainly done their level best to keep the schools up to the high est notch' It was shown that some of the state funds have been delinquent, through the non-pay ment of loans from the irreduci ble school fund by the borrowers in . eastern , Oregon where times have teen hard. This shortage, howpyer. will be made up, and it Is already coming in on this year's crop prospects. . Three . Teachers Named t Thre new teachers were rec ommended by Supt. George Hug. to fill vacancies, still existing. They are the Misses Dorothy Tay lor, Florence Lake, and Mildred Severson, all of whom have been attending the state normal col lege at Monmouth.

Itaas. one of the company of which hir brother. Joseph C. Raas, is pres-l ident. "We have been buying fruit here for 22. years," said Mr. Raas, "but always through ag ents, until this year. "We handle Immense quantities ot cherries; we have already bought 600 tons in California, and 900 tons' in Italy because we bad- to have them. When it was reported that Oregon had only about a 20 per cent crop we were told that it wouldn't be worth while to -come here for the 5 or 10 tons that was all we'd be likely to get. But we came, .and we have shipped 34 car loads. "While we have especially . de sired the Royal Annes and Water house, we have, beentaking all that our regular patrons bring; even where we have to resell them at a loss because they , don't tit in. with our demands. We have paid out some really remarkable sums for cherries this year. One check was Ior a. JltUa more than $12,000, for a pool of -cherries or ganized by an ambitious friend. Another check was for $6,000; another for . $4, 000 and so on. Cherries hate run into bonanza prices this year. ? "In all the years I have been buying here, . I have never seen the eherries so fine, nor so prof itable Jto the grower. The crop Jfen't exceptionally ' heavy, but it is of superior quality. Every sign points to a bumper crop for next year, following the more or less general cycles of production." The Raas company, which has been in business in California since 1852, has been carrying on some experiments with the use of' black cherries, which Mr. Raas says, have proven that the blacks ought td be used almost as well as the whites, for their ex'acting trade. Another year, he hopes to carry this theory into the market. All1 the cherries for the glace fruit can be picked earlier than, for the regular canning business;' the trees can be "stripped" of ev ery cherry at the first and only picking, and the picking costs are reduced as an offset 'against the slightly reduced yield in picking before fully mature and ripe.

' As one or two members of the committee are out of town at the present time.it is possible that the distribution ot the money will not be made until the last of this week.

If un able to reach an agreement, the entire matter will be referred to the railroad labor board, he said. The shop crafts leaders assum ed a more hopeful attitude today ith receipt of advices that, all told, 18 railroads had made: con ciliatory expressions looking to ward a settlement of a strike and that some were already conferring with the system federation com mittees.
