Raise Teachers Pay.
Never in the history of the public
school system in Virginia has there
been such widespread interest in pub
Ilic education, and the awakening does
mot seem confined to- any particular
section of the State. From the far
Southwest Superintendent r. D. Baker
sends into the department some most
& Ihattering news.
Here. is an extract from Mr.. Bakers
letter. which is self-explanatory;
"Gladevill School District Board met
X yesterday and adopted the following
q Ischedue OF salaries: Professional, $50;
lhrst grade, s45; second grade, sS5;
third grade, SIS. They need eight
teachers for country schools
All this speaks we'll for the progress
. |being made with the schools In Wise
county and in the Southwest. me
term in Wise was eight months last
year though the pay of teachers aver
: aged only about s35. The average II
iGladeville District under the new
$ schedule will be es42, per month. or al
= average advance ofAszspsr month.
