TEACHERS WANT THEIR
SALARIES INCREASED
Ward School Teachers Present Signed
Petition to Board of Education
But Not Granted.
From The World of Wednesday:

From The World of Wednesday;
The Board of Education held q spe-
cial meeting last night in the court
house at the request Of the ward
school teachers who had a petition
to present. The teachers were all
present.
1t developed that the petition was
one asking for an increase in salaries
for the teachers OF the ward schools,
the amount asked for being $50 per
month for all. Miss Florence Curtiss
presented the petition and explained
the objecte of the meeting, az the
same inc explaining why such in
crease in salary was asked for. Sew
eral other teachers spoke for the
petition which all had signed. They
cited the board to other towns In
West Virginia where the teachers
salaries were considerably higher
than in Martinsburg, and where the
work was no harder in any respect
than 1t is here nor the relative grades
any higher. Hence they wondered
why the teachers here were not paid
more money.
The board informed the teachers
that they would have to wait till the
assessor makes his report in July
when the new school levy will be fix
ed and which. it vas stated, would
quite likely be higher for the next
fiscal year than the present. Until
that time, therefore, nothing could be
done in the matter of salary increase
as he board was now almost up TO the
limit of the levy. 1t was stated that
the present levy Is 80 cents on the
800 taxation for teachers and II IL
cents for the building fund; that the
maximum levy for teachers allowed
by the state law is but S5 cents, The
board also told the teachers that with
the opening of the next term OF school
in September three or four more
teachers will be required, incident TO
the ENLARGEMENT of three of the school
buildings and the erection OF a new
one. But still, If the new levy would
Justify an increase in salaries, not
w~ithstanding the additions to the
teaching force and consequent in
crease in expense, the commissioners
would gladly pay 1t.
The board also reminded the teach
ers that i'm such towns as Fairmont,
Clarksburg and others in the state
where It was said teachers are paid
better salaries, the levy is higher be-
cause the assessed valuation OF prop
erty is much higher. while the salaries
here are all that the levy will allow.

tee consists OF Martin Quinn. Roland

be determined to have it, and the fire.
men are TO be commended for taking
the initiative as they would play an
important part in it, both in the par
ade and racing features.
The Fourth of July celebration last
year was SO pronounced a success and
possessed so many novel features as
to make it unique in local history;
while at the anne time it was so en-
joyable to everybody that the wish
was generally expressed that it might
be repeated this year. Some varia-
tons. Of course. might and likely will
be suggested in the program, but that
cen be considered later.
Let us have a big Fourth of July
celebration without the usual fire

co. F INSPECTED
Boys Put Through Drill Under Eye Of
Captain jerks and Adiutant
General Elliott.

From The World OF Monday:
The annual inspection of Company
F, West Virginia National Guard, took
place here on Sunday and was a no
table event in the history Of the COM
pany.. The inspection was made by
Capt. /. G. jerks. Twenty-Fourth Uni
ted States Infantry, Fort Ontario, Os-
wego, n. Y, for the United States gov
ernnent, and Adjutant General c. D.
Elliott, of Charleston, for the state.
First, the property at the armory
on East Race street was inspected
and everything found to be in apple
pie order. Captain Kilmer and his
men were complimented on the exec
lent condition Of the outfit. Any lit
tie defects or shortcomings that Cap
tain jerks, with his trained eve, may
have noticed, We're gently pointed out
leaving the boys in the proper humor
to remedy them.
The inspection Of the company in
o'clock in the evening. There were
46 men in uniform, and only u sbsen-
tees, and they for good cause. The
company was put through a thorough
drill by Captain Kilmer and Captain
jerks, alternately. The later was
highly pleased and complimented the
boys on their proficiency, which, he
said, was all the more remarkable on
account of their limited experience in
military matters. He said they drill
ed like veterans and looked every
inch the soldier.
General Elliott expressed himself as
much pleased with the personnel of
the company, which. he said, is con
siderably above the average in the
state. Words OF praise from two such
men could not fail of the highest ap-
probation on the part of the boys OF
Company F and will be an incentive
for still greater efficiency as citizen
soldiers.
General Elliott left Sunday night
on No. u for Washington. Captain
jerks remained over here today to
make up his report and will leave to.
morrow morning for Washington, go
ing thence to New York.
