IL the bin introduced by Delegate
Duvall, of the House OF Delegates,
Bill No. 6s5, passes and Is signed by
he Governor, oae Of the most un-
air, unjust bills among the many
hundred introduced at the present
! Legislature, will 90 down on the stat
ute books as a disgrace TO the county.
The bill, in substance, puts every
teacher, below the rank of princi-
pal, (whose aslary is fixed at 81 200)
an equal footing. All may ad-
,ance step by step from $500, until
be maximum salary is 5000. No
teacher can receive above this salary.
The bill, on the face OF it, is most
unjust, and discriminating. It places
in equal TO jting the woman or man
who has specialized in their line Of
work, with the young High School
graduate of a year or two who is
My teaching until she gets married.
Is it fair, is it just?
The teacher who spends monty
and time, who interests herself and
gives years Of bard labor TO her
srecilized work is worth more than
the teacher OF irocks and irills Of
kindergarten or rrimer class. Ger
tainly the teacher of domestic science,
or manual training or Of the CONNER
cisl work should receive salary
concentrate with their work, and
ttat is above 5000
