Mr.. Buxton stated that the Board
last year reduced the salaries of the
teachers 10 per cent, but this year in
creased them that amount. He re-
ferred to the fine opening of the
schools yesterday.
Mr.. Holtou endorsed what Mr.. BuX-
ton said and urged the Board to make
the appropriation asked for-Sl4, 600
saying that the county Board paid
about So, 100 of this amount, hence the
town would really have to pay less
than Sill ,O0O He added that the re-
cent census taken showed about 800
more school children this year than
last. He thought the teachers were
being paid little enough. Mr.. B. j.
Sheppard said he wrote to other towns
in the State and learned that Win
ston was paying less for her teachers
than other places.
Alderman Hopper asked about the
cutting of teachers salaries, saying
he was not in favor of reducing those
getting from S35 to $50 per month but
he thought those receiving from ST. 200
to 81 500 could be cut down some.
Mr.. Buxton explained by saying
that only two of the teachers were re-
ceiving 5000 per year-PrOfs Tomlin-
son and u. III. Blair-and that these
were the highest, with the exception
OF Supt. Blair, who receives 81. 400
years
The Board unanimously voted the
appropriation of S14, 900 for the schools.
Mr. Buxton, for the School Board,
thanked the aldermen for their ac-
tion.
