To the Honorable School Board:

To the Honorable School Board:
GENTLEMEN:-We, the undersigned
teachers OF the Butler public schools,
ask to submit the following for your
careful consideration:
First: In the view OF the fact that
extra qualifications are no required
of the teachers by the State, School
Board and citizens OF Butler; and
that special preparation is absolute.
ly necessary to maintain the credit
and high standing to which our
schools have attained, and further
the cost OF living has steadily in
creased, while the salaries have not
been increased commensurate with
the above mentioned circumstances,
we respectfully ask your honorable
body to make provisions for an in
crease in our salaries this coming
year as your better Judgment may
dictate to the interest of all concern.

Second; We have practically no
libraries in our schools, which are so
essential to successful work that we
think some special provisions should
be made to put libraries in each ward
building.
Third: In the most successful bus
mess institutions, various grades and
classes Of public officers and all Of
the best regulated school systems in
the State and Nation have adopted
the graded salary system. We fur
ther ask your consideration along
this line whereby each teacher may
know how much the school board ap.
preciates successful school work, and
Just what reward will come to the
teacher who makes great improve
ment in his or her school every year.
