BETTER SCHOOLS
IN BRECKENRIDGE
The Board of Education Has Made
Arrangements TO Have Bet
ter Paid Teachers And
Taken Steps For
Other ImprO.
yementS.
ONE DISTRICT ABOLISHED.

After much work with a troublesome
proposition, the Board Of Education for
the county, have agreed upon holding
every school possible to hold for the
coming year, thus giving the most con-
venient arrangement to our people and
putting before them the opportunity to
have better schools and better paid
teachers than ever before
Only one white district had to be abb
olished. We could find no way to hold
Bandy's with its twenty-one pupils.
The pupils in this district. together
with McGehee's and Bethe are enough
to make two pauper schools for the year,
schools being taught at McGehee's and
Bethel. The patrons in the old Bandy
territory may select the school they pre-
fer to patronize this year and report their
choice to the Superintendent before
July LIST, and, without cost to them
selves, they may patronize the school of
their selection for the year, whether it
be McGehee's, Norton's or any other
that adjolns them.
The Board set the salaries of teachers
at Kirk and at Custer at 500 per month.
Garfield, Westvlew and Germantown
will pay $50 each.
Fourteen schools, all pauper and worse
on account of their small census-for
they all fall below 40 and consequently
cannot hold on by themselves, but must
be reported with larger school near
them, will each pay $3.50 per month.
They are: Tauls, Robbins fuckers,
Lodiburg, Argabrights, Jarretts, Poplar
Grove, Bethel, Pleasant Valley, High
Plains, Rhodes, Little Union, jackson
and Overtons.
These districts, though pauper in
size. may, by offering to board their
teachers, supplement the salaries given
by the Board, secure most any teacher
they wish. Instead of abolishing these
districts, they are held at better SAL
airy than ever before, and with the pos
sibility of having superior schools this
coming school year.
For the benefit of patrons, trustees and
teachers, we publish all the information
now obtainable concerning the schools
an / their probable pay for the year. All
this, of course, is based upon the pre-
sumption that the present school law
will be declared constitutional. There
is no doubt about the percapitas being
as good as it was last year. Hence
those interested can make their esti-
mates Of pay from the number of pupils
for which payment will be made.
