This activity was the opening gun of department membership drive that will close May 12. "Peace" was the theme of Admiral Mayo'a talk, which was Interlarded with bits of humor and verbal illustrations that sent home his main idea the necessity of maintaining an adequate defense. Others who spoke were Colonel W.

Among those responsible for the success of the meeting, although he remained In the background, was Allen Fletcher, past department commander, and a leading member of Burlington Post. "It Is Perfect Rot" Admiral Mayo described as 'per-! feet rot" the belief expressed, he said, even on the floors cf Congress, that those in military life seek war to put into practice the theories they have studied or to win personal dis-I tinction.

Rather, these are the very men who at every opportunity en-' courage international peace, although never failing, explained Admiral Mayo, to stress the necessity for pre-! paredness. Admitting that peace pacts, ar bitration treaties and limitation-of-arms agreements make for peace, the speaker of the evening admonished against placing confidence in them to th? extent of conviction that they make maintenance of a permanent adequate defense unnecessary. He pointed out that there are statements and reservations in the Kel- logg-Briand treaty by which almost any nation could throw it aside at will. He also cited inconsistencies in the llmitation-of-arms agreements. Watch England 'W have never been ready for war," reminded Admiral Mayo, "in any war in which we have engaged.

a S. i i i The board of school commissioners last evening held their March meeting, adjourned from Friday and spent considerable time discussing the proposed salary schedule for teachers and contracts to be of-, fcred teachers 3r the next school year. The salary schedule under discus-, sion is based largely on training and experience. It provides increased salary for additional professional, study and also provides that unusually successful teachers may advance in salary more rapidly than the average. Teachers in Class one.

having had two years of normal training and two years of teaching experience, would under the new schedule be able to reach a maximum of $1,400 a year, where they now can reach only $1,300. Teachers having had three years of college or normal training would be able to reach a maximum salary of $1,600 under the new schedule. Teachers holding a college degree would be able to reach a maximum of $1,800 in the case of women and $2,300 in the case of men. Every teacher would be required to have a State professional certificate in order to reach the maximum salary. Provision would be made also for a super-maximum salary for particularly superior teachers.

This (ncw schedule was not definitely adopted by the commissioners, but will be made a guide in making up the contracts for next year. No teachers will reach the maximum immediately, but will work gradually from one schedule to the other. Contract for the individual teachers were gone over last evening and the superintendent was authorized to Issue the contracts on the. basis of the list as presented by the teachers' committee.
