RETIREMENT FUND
Many Donations for the Coming
Bazaar Have Bean Received.

In a recent number of the Journal OF
Education under the caption. "The Right
Way" f. the following editorial:
I'm Detroit municipal funds are provid-
cd sufficient to pay the annuities of all
retired teachers, so that the one per
cent OF the teachers's salaries deducted
