TO THE EDITOR THE HERALp:-
BY an article u tho HERALD OF yesterday you make
a comparison between the salaries received by the
lady teachers in public schools with the salaries
received by the Fire and Police departments. Consld
ering the duty that each branch has to perform, don't
where tho comparison comes IN. For instance, la
dies teaching our public schools attend from nine
O'Clock A. NJ. TO three O'Clock r. NJ, for five days per
week. with about two months vacation each year
while nrcmen duty twenty y-four hours pcr day,
with the exception OF hour tor each meal and while
absent from their posts on that mission held SUBJ
