Mrs. Benson explained that the
per cent. deducted from the salaries
OF Virginia teachers toward the PEN
sion fund had been more than offset
by the raise in salaries.
President Painter cut the discussion
off In Its incipient stage, declaring
that 1t would be taken up later.

subject, Mr. Taylor said that large
majority of men teachers were OPP
posed to pensions on general princi-
pies and that he personally intended
