tions, refused TO so TO work The strix-
ers maintain that the prospect Is better
than ever before, that there Is reason to
believe they will succeed. and that the

RAISED THE SALARIES.
Board of Education Increased the.
Salaries ofthe Teachers in the
Public Schools.

The regular meeting Of the board
of education was held Friday evening
and the principal matter that came
up for discussion was the increase of
salary for the teachers in the city
schools. President Bras had practi-
cally a full membership of the board
present when the meeting was called
to order.
It was decided to increase the sal
airy of each teacher, with the ex-
|ception of the superintendent and
principal. whose salaries stand at
$1,000 and $1,000 respectively. The fol-
lowing are the increases that were
adopted: Miss Corwin and Prof. Fry,
sos; Misses Lily Patterson, Minnie
Grace, Sara Scallin, Cora Miner,
Alice Saul. Blanche VandeBogart,
Emma Cooley, Clara Nobis, Augusta
Magiure to $50; Misses Pearl Jack
son, Rhetta Rogers and Mamie Saul.
will receive S45 per month. 1t had
come to a point where it was neces-
sary to increase the salaries of the
teachers if competent ones were to
be retained, and the board wisely
took the course to keep up the stand
ing Of the city schoolsssby making the
salary of the teachers adequate to the
demands of the occasion.
The janiters of the schools also,
had their salaries increased, Warren
Wells getting s45 per month and ii.
B. Rogers and John Roth S35 each.
E. 81. Winsor presented the con-
tract that is to be signed by the
teachers for the ensuing year. Some
Of its provisions are made with spec
ial reference to make the contract
more binding on the part of the
teacher. It provides that1O per cent
of the salary of each month shall be
held back until the close of the year
to guarantee the fulfllment of the.
contract. In case any teacher shall
resign before concluding their con-
tract the amount will be retained by
the board; the board reserves the
right to terminate the contract when
a teacher shall prove herself incap-
able or teaching successfully and the.
superintendent and the board shall
have sole power to annual the con-
tract; the teachers are required to
sign the contracts within four weeks.
from their election or their places
will be declared vacant in the
schools; the teachers are prohibited
from engaging in any other employ
ment or amusement that would inter
fere with the successful conduct Of.
their school work.
