The money was intended for teach- ers who have special aptitudes, or possess university degrees or credits for special courses. But Nicholson veid that the education law provides for “supermaximum” salaries on the basis of length of service, but “makes no provision for special ‘training.” MINER SMOTHERED BY FALL OF COAL Operator Neglects Safe- ty Provisions WILKES BARRE, Pa.,, June 16.
