TEACHERS NOT PAID ENOUGH, SURVEY OF SALARIES SHOWS The questlonaire recently sent to each teacher in the Salein public schools h is revealed some very inter esting facta. The lowest Salary paid in Salem is $765; the highest, excluding the super intendent's, is $1900. One-fourth of the teachers receive less than J100 per month for nine months. This means that many teach ers now employed in the Salem Bchoola must either receive help from their families or supplement their incomes by soma other work in he summet or aftor school hours. Professional . upkeep for teachers Is heavy. Even ' teachers who have completed certain courses must, to keep pace with condi tions,' attend school during the sum mers. This demand in addition to the ereat increase of living expenses makes the teacher's stluatlon a really serious one. . ; Outside Aid Needed. ...

The Bulgarian dele gates signed their peace treaty at 10:36 o'clock this morning ln the town hall at Neullly. Considerable Interest centered in the Bulgarian treaty because of the pre vious refusal of Serbia to accept the treaty of St. Germain liking peace with Auh;j la. Serbians held off until the last minute, only signing the St. Oei maln pact last night. They had to do this in order to become a part to the Bulgarian treaty today which they were most imxlous to see In effect. The i xecutlon of the Bulgarian pro tocol, iirnpllfying the terms of the trea ty, will not become effective for some time.

More than two-thirds of the mem bers of the senate desire the treaty ratified, Senator McNary said in an Interview hore today, with such reser vations as will remove front question all doubts and "controversies about the meaning'of the covenant of the leagae) . of nations." Holds to Reservation, Senator McNary said that he knew of no member of the sonato who wish' es to commit the United States to course of action ln violation of the constitution, therefore the bitter fight on article ten. He said that he, per sonally,, is Btrongly opposed to the send lng of American troops to another na tion without the authority of congress, . and would hold out for a reservation granting the league of nations the right to direct troops of one nation to an other. Unless a compromise on the treaty Is reached soon after the convention of congress, Senator McNary predict ed a separate treaty with Germany will i.p np-ntlnted.
