ALL SALARIES WERE RAISED

C A Saylor of the public school board had so far recovered from his recent indisposition that he was able tO meet with the board on Wednesday evening and at that time. with full membership of the board present. the
 teachers foI the ensuing year Were elected.
 There is but one change in the per
 sOnncl of the faculty for next wear.
 Miss Bertha Wilson did not rcapply and the vacancy thus caused was filled by the election "f her sister. Miss Maudc
 Wilson. Miss Bertha Wilson has been
 one of the efficient teachers of the school for some years past and while
 her departure from the faculty is in
 the nature of a loss. her place will bs ably filled by her sister. who since her graduation from the Normal has been a member of the faculty of the Alma school
 All other teachers were rcappointed and the faculty list now reads as fol lows with thc grade each teaches:
 Principal. T.. J. Sullivan. Sth grade. Charles Alcxand,r. .th grade: Miss Nell McNeii. 9th grade: Miss I.lizabeth Cosner. 9th grade. Miss Lottie Mullen. 4th grade: Miss Ina O'Connor. lst grade. Miss Grace Webb. primary.
 In addition to the appointment of teachers. the board also raised the sal aries of ali members of the faculty. The increase while not large. is fair ly substantial one and makes the sal ary that is now being paid to the Tempe teachers. abovc that paid those in the Mesa city schools and only slightly below that Iuid in Phoenix. In fact. the salary now averages as good as the highest paid in Maricopa county. The board felt that notwith- standing the fact that il proposes tO make number of expensive improve
 nents the coming year, this increase in salary was warranted when it Is considered that no teacher is employed in the school who has had less than five years experience in graded schools
 The average attendance for the pres ent year has been exceptionally good and the appropriation for the school will he proportionately large IL is hoped that there will be sufficient amount left after the payment of sal aries and running expenses to permit of the construction of a large amount of cement sidewalks. It is planned to commence this work on the west side of the main building where a walk about 20 feet in length will be requir- ed to connect the high school walk with Sth street. The council has in dicated it's willingness to construct d cement crosswalk across Sth street as soon as the school fills in the gap.
 Then on Sth street the school has q frontage of 314 feet oE which it also hopes to construct d walk this coming year In addition. there will he a ce- ment walk required to the north and west entrance of the building and ce- ment sters to replace the wooden ones now in use a both these entrances. All this will cost d good deal of money but the board hopes to he able to accom- plish it.
