Fix on Their Figures.
The State Normal board has decided to
ask OF the next legislature for an appropria-
tion OF s73,50O for salaries and all other
expenses and supplies for. the biennium.
The raise in the cost Of living has moved
the board to increase the salaries OF teach
ers. Additional teachers will also be
needed. The range Of wages at the Normal
now is $500 to 81, 300. a. year. The last leg
~islature tried to get these figures reduced,
but the board Insisted that it would cripple
the teaching force IL done. AS fixed last
year the amount for salaries for the two
years was S52 900. Exactly $4,000 more
will be asked next winter.
It is unoficially given out that a request
will be made, although not through the
hoard. for the appropriation Of S7h. ono for
the building OF two more structures at the
Normal. One most desired is a library. An
assembly hall is also badly needed. These
two buildings were cared for in the last APP
preparation bill, $4S.5OO for the assembly
hall and $32. 900 for the library, but Gov
