words to IT, in Italian. What is the

MORE WAGES
FOR TEACHERS
Wholesome Gain Made
Throughout tho State.
-fFrom the NEWS Correspondent

-fFrom the NEWS Correspondent.)
Trenton, Nov. 25:-That there is
a, wholesome gain being made
throughout the state in the increase
Of wages being paid to school teach
ers, was one of the things shown
Friday afternoon at the conference
between State Commissioner of Edu-
cation Kendall and the county school
superintendent of the state. 1t was
declared, however, that In some of
the country and mountain districts
the salaries paid are still too low.
The average salary in some OF the
rural school districts Is about $3.50 a
year, but that there has been an i'm
provement Is indicated by the fact
that five years ago this was nearly
5000. Some OF the superintendent
said that these remote school condi-
lions could be improved by CONSOLE
dating some Of the small schools, but
that taxpayers oppose this, and,
thereby, interfere with the best in
terests Of education.
The ACCESSIBILITY of enacting laws
for a minimum salary for teachers in
the state and Of making a maximum
number of pupils to be taught by one
teacher and in one room, was active
ly discussed at the conference. No
definite decision was reached on the
question OF presenting these bills to
the next legislature.
Questions by DR.. Kendall brought
the information hat in almost every
county there were perhaps two or
three rooms which would be affected
by such a law If 1t were enacted, but
the superintendent thought that the
conditions could be changed without
going to the legislature. 1t was
shown that there is more o~vercrowd-
ing in the cities than in the country
districts.
Many of the superintendent ex-
pressed the opinion hat if "a mini
mum salary law were passed the
school districts would take it to mean
that this minimum salary was as
much as should be paid to teachers,
and would result In a lower of sala-
ries to that minimum Of a salary in
many instances where more is now
paid. Another thing brought out by
the conference was that in some sec
lions of the state, notably Hunterdon
county, the school boards are up in
arms against the teachers tenure of
office act, and they claim that this
law is responsible for frequent
changes of teachers.
