EDITOR EVENING HERALD:-I would sug-
gest that in electing the school teachers for
the next term the School Board fully weigh
all claims of applicants for positions and as
certain from them if they fully realize the
duties responsibilities and position of
school teacher 1t strikes me that a large
number of them do not know that the money
that goes to pay their salaries comes out of
the pockets of the business people and others
in the form of taxes. They need a little
education on this point and after they fully
appreciate it am sure they will be less
anxious to hurry to Pottsvlle whenever they
want to buy anything.
