COMMITTEE. addressed the board on the
subject of salaries and his remarks were.
reduced to writing. Mr. Price took the
ground that Fargo was not paying as
thigh salaries to teachers as towns of
lsiniilar population with schools of the
same standard and for that reason his
Icommittse had continually been handi-
Icapped in making selections and; he had:
to say that siust so long as the teach,
ers committee was tied down to hard.
and fast rules. linwritten or otherwise,
there would be difficulty in retaining
| the services ofefirst-cl teachers in any
| department, In his remarks Mr.. Price;
Icited instances where good teaching ma
Eterial had been. lost Ito Fargo because
other places offered higher salaries. The
lremarks precipitated an Interesting dis
cussion and the new members learned

Tor two of the ward schools and it ap-:
Ipeared to be unanimous sentiment of the

teachers have not exceeded their pgiy-
iileges and that the eNerci Sc of discip-
| Zine was for the best interests Of the
