A Plea for Our County Teachers.
To the Editor of the Tribune,

To the Editor of the Tribune,
Dear Sir: As our school directors are
about to De elected / wonder how many
Of our school districts have increased
the school ma'am's salary. OF recent
years almost everything has increased in
price but in most instances the school
ma'am's salary remains the same year
after year. After paying her board, say
s12 per month, she cannot have much
left. Our land has doubled in value; we
can scarcely get hired help.
At your directors meeting vote to pay
all you can to your teachers and you will
reap your reward.
