MORE PAY FOR
The TEACHERS

Sussex Schools

Speciai to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN, Del, April 20-F'ol-
lowing the recent sensation created by
Superintendent of Sussex County
Schools Ernest j. Hardesty, of Sea-
ford. when in the course Of an address
at the Milton Teachers Institute he
stated that there is a painful scarcity
Of good teachers in Sussex. and that
there are seventy-five teachers filing
positions who are totally untitled for
the work." a movement is now on foot,
headed by Superintendent Hardesty, TO
get the next Legislature to pass an
act providing for general increase
in the salary Of the teachers. In this
county there seems to be much opposi-
tion to the summer schools because il
IL contended that they take boys and
| girls with only a smattering educa-
/ tion and in many instances with little
/ knowledge at all and in two or three
months turn them out as full-hedged
( teachers. Most Of the teachers only
receive $40 a month. or ON an average
for the school term Of $3.50 a year in
this county.

more resistance 10 the digestive juices
