_ Dear Albert: ‘
: I am happy to have received you letter of the 24th instant,
and I am answering you pronto. Maurice will have no dif “iculty in
getting a part-time job in the K.U.-gym. When he stopped by to see
me prior to his trip to California, he mentioned the job and I told
him 0.K. I assure you that I will treat him as I would want someone
to treat one of my own sons. I appreciate your desiring him to earn
_ the money, as this will mature him in e definite way.

I want you and Mrs. Martin to kmow how much I will enjoy
having Maurice on the squad. The fact that you were neighbors a
great many yearns heightens this interest. And the fact that Maurice
and Sonny Hamilton are good friends is also a good consideration. |
But above everything else, Maurice is a good boy. in his own right.
He can carry a load of responsibility becaus® hé is the right type.
I have always been very fond of your son and we want you people to
come down when Maurice plays, because he will be on that Kansas
squad, I can assure you.

’ Regarding the duties of City Councilman, I find them
‘interesting and sometimes a little perplexing, but it always worke
out. We are having a lot of fun. | )

Dr. F. C. Allen,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Phog:

I have just reveiced a letter from Maurice. He has been working as
a linemen on a telegraph gang of the Santa Fe in California this summer.
He says that he would enjoy a part time job in the K U gym this coming
term to earn part of his way. Chuck Mills (who was his basket ball coach at
Topeka High for one seanson) mentioned the possibility to me sometime ago
and I relayed it to Maurice. Maurice will probably return hime shortly after
the first of September.

Maurice intends to try out for the basket ball team. He is 17 (will
be 18 in February) and is 614" and weighs 175 or 180 lbs at present.

If no gym job is aoad links he can doubtless find some other job
as he is pretty well acquainted in Lawrence. He will have saved considerable
money during the summer, we will provide some, but he will have to earn a
little. I want him to earn his money and I want him to carry a regualr
college schedule, which he can do if he has too.

Maurice will visit you as soon as he returns but I thought it might be
well to write to you in advance, which I am doing without his request.

How do you find the duties of City Councilman?

Assembly work in a hurry. Congratulations and best whahes
to you in all your activities for the year.

I have exhausted the list of available men fee
the work you describe and I am sorry to not be able to

Army Major who played ball for me at the Teacher's College
at Warrensburg, Missouri back in 1915 and 1914. I should add
this man is in his early fifties and is a vigorous fellow.
He has a splendid personality and knows all sports wonderfully
well. lie is clean and is not the type of fellow that you
think of as a Major in the Army who might do things that would
embarass YOU.

Dear Forrest:

While this is not strictly a letter relating to Rotary,
I wish to express to you my appreciation of the opportunity of
associating with you at the International Convention and for your
fine contribution to the group.

I have just completed our District Assembly work and
finished my schedule for official visits. Where the gas or trans-
portation facilities will come from to enable me to travel some
4500 miles in meking the visits is yet to be found.

Now, if I may change to business and recall our
conversation relative to available material for physical education
and coaching, I should like to say to you that I am in need of a
good man who can teke over physical education work with boys and
do the coaching in basketball and football. He will have an
assistant to help him with the coaching work. This position will
pay $2500 to $2800 for the first year and we may, if necessary,
stretch this amount a bit. J should like, however, to keep within
the schedule if possible. There is a pretty good future in the
position at Lewistown and I am sure anyone would agree that it is
a rather desirable community in which to live. I am enclosing an
information sheet which will give you more details about the school
set-up and the community.

I shall be very grateful to you for any assistance which
would put me in contact with men who might be available for the
position or I am willing to let the matter rest in your hands by
saying to you that I would be very pleased to accept a man whom you
might recommend. Will you please use telegraph wires collect for
any messages which you would like to send.

Thanking you for any services which you may render, I

Recreation

Information Sheet - Public Schools
Lewistown, Montana
April 1945

Lewistown is the exact geographical center of Montana. The population

3,800 feet; the rainfall, 17 inches; the climate is delightful with no
hot days, and in winter, there will be few days below zero. Violent
wind storms are unknown. The city is located in an excellent agri-
cultural valley that is surrounded by mountains.

¥

Two railroads, one airline, bus lines and good roads provide excellent
transportation facilities.

The people are of the very best American stock, no undesirable groups;
no poverty or very low income groups; no war industries.

- The mountains provide the finest kind of recreation. Within walking
distance of the city is one of the best fishing streams in the United
States and many more are in the mountains. Wild game is plentiful.
Outdoor life is one of the fine assets of this part of the state and
nation.

Cost of Living - Rooms, houses, and board can be secured for less than in other

The School

cities of the same size or larger. At the present time prices are at
their maximum and will be lower in the postwar period. Rates for
rooms in modern homes average about $18 per month. Small houses,
unfurnished but modern, average around $25 per month with furnished
homes renting for $35 to $45 per month. Good board will average
$1.30 to $1.50 per day. The use of an apartment by two or more
persons may reduce the costs.

System - The enrollment in elementary grades is about 700; in junior
high 200, and in high school 500. Fifty-six teachers are employed.
The school activities are housed in six buildings. The buildings are
all modern and in good condition except two. These will be replaced
in the near future by two new buildings incorporating the very best
features of a modern building. The average enrollment per class room:
in elementary grades, 50; in junior high, 25, and in high school, 23,
The program of studies meets the interests and needs of every pupil.

Salary Schedule - The rules and regulations governing the employment and payment

of teachers have just been revised to meet the present and postwar
periods. The schedules are based on sound financial conditions and
procedures and can be maintained without fear of reductions. Follow.
ing are some of the most important provisions:

1. . Single salary basis - A teacher with the same qualifications
and experience receives the same salary in any department in the system.
-Z2-

2. No person with less than four years of advanced training is
employed for any position.

3, The minimum salary for teacher with A.B. degree, but without
experience, is $1500; for M. A. degree, $1600.

4, For each year of successful experience in another system
$30 is added to the minimum. To illustrate: A teacher with ten years
experience starts at $1800 in this system.

5. Maximum salary - $2500 for class room teacher.

6. The length of the school term is 38 weeks with the actual
days of teaching ranging from 180 to 164. The school year begins
September lst.

7. Sick leave without loss of pay is 5 days per year but is
cumulative up to 21 days.

8. Complete medical examinations are provided for at the expense
of the school.

9, Sabbatical leave is provided under which the teacher receives
at least 25% of his salary while awey.

10. A teacher always receives the difference between cost of a
substitute and his own salary even after she has usod up her sick
leave.

ll, Accident insurance covering on-duty service is carried for
all teachers.

Dear Chancellor Malett:

When I was at the International Convention of Rotary

Governors from Dedham, Massachusetts, - Rev. Lyman V. Rutledge,
asked that I convey his kindest wishes to yous. He was at your
reception in Cambridge prior to your coming to the University.

He asked many questions about you and the University.
He intended to get out this spring, but was thwarted in his
purpose. He is well acquainted with lis. Irving Hill and
Professor Edwim Mortimer Hopkins. He is minister to First
Chiroch in Dedham, Masa. |

So I am passing along his good wishes.
