There was discussion from the spectators voicing both ap proval and disapproval of the modification of the salary sched ule. There was also considerable discussion about the relative rank of the school district in comparison with other districts in the state. Some voiced a con cern the district would fall too far behind other districts in the state if there was no change in the present schedule. Supt. Robert Van Houte said the district now rates in about the middle of the salary sched ules of all the first class districts in the state, but he felt the dis trict would fall into the bottom one-third if the board failed to provide for some Increase. There was also dlscussi o n about extra duty pay for teach ers and pay for extended con tracts. It was explained by Supt. Van Houte that teachers now re ceive extra pay for dramatics, coaching, music, and ot h e r school activities that require out of school time.

The clinic is brought as a free public service to the com munity by the church, but it is not a religious program and is not church related. Such topics as physical effects of smoking, exercises in strengthening will power, and how to weaken phys ical craving for tobacco will be considered. Medical personnel connected with the clinic are Dr. C. M. Wagner and Dr. H. S. Huber.
