School Directors to Receive
Committee of Teachers in
Matter Of Reduced Salary
EDUCATIONAL NOTES


Members OF the Board of Education
win explain 10 q committee of the dis
satisfied teachers next Wednesday why
the salaries Of the latter have been
reduced and the occasion promises to
be one OF more than ordinary interest.
A letter was received from the chair
man Of the teachers committee Thurs
day asking that Saturday or some
other convenient time be designated
by the board for the meeting. The
absence Of Director Oliver made Sat
ur6ay inconvenient so Wednesday was
named.
An amusing feature of the affair is
the fact that the teachers chairman
enclosed stamp with his note that

interpreted by members of the board
as an acknowledgment from the
teachers Of their knowledge Of the
lack OF funds in the school depart
ment. It is evident that the stamp
carries a hidden meaning and one
which implies sarcasm.
