Big Men from over Entire Country

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--The National
Rivers and Harbors congress began its
annual convention here today with a
large attendance of delegates from
throughout the country. Many prominent
speakers are on the program for ad-
dresses during the three days sessions.
The convention was opened with an adj

the annual address of Senator Ransdell
OF Louisiana, president Of the Rivers and
Harbors congress, in which he vigorously
denounced recent attacks on the river
and harbor bill passed at the last session
OF congress and the filibuster (which re-

1t will be seen from the foregoing
figures that while the salaries are
reasonably fair for the young teachers
in the lower grades there is no pro-
portionate increase for those who
have spent long years of service in
our public school or for those who
have proved exceptionally able teach
ers. In most businesses, many years
of service means an increase of pay,
but, at the very best. in the Benning-
ton schools, the increase is very
slight.
The pay of teachers here is rather
higher than in Hoosick Falls, Will
Jamestown and Keene, n. H., but con-
siderably lower than in North Adams
Brattleboro, Rutland, Montpelier and
Barre. The average term of service
here is longer than in most places.
The trustees referred the petition
to the teachers committee to investi-
gate and report at the next meeting.
The teachers were all reelected,
both in the high and graded school
with the exception of those in the
kindergarten, where action was de-
ferred pending a decision on a pro-
posal that was made to discontinue
the public Kindergarten as has been

TEACHERS ASK FOR
AN INCREASE OF
SALARIES
Made a Request Of the Trustees
Last Night
NO ACTON WAS TAKEN
Question Referred 70 the Teachers
Committee TO Hear and Report
Next Month

The teachers OF the graded school
have made a request for an increase
Of salaries. declaring that they are
paid less than what teachers receive
for similar work in other towns the
size Of Bennington.
AT a meeting OF the school trus-
tees Wednesday evening the follow
ing petition was received from the
teachers in the graded school:
Bennington. VT,
April q. 1914.
Trustees OF Graded Schools.
Bennington, VI.
Dear Si-s:-After due considera-
ton. the teachers OF the various
grades have decided TO ask for an in
crease in their respective salaries.
Many OF the teachers have served 10
years or more and il is a well-known
fact that in all professions experience
ed workers receive the greater COM
pensation.
Our curriculum compares favor
ably with that OF city schools and
the average attendance is about the
same. Extra assistance is given
city teachers. while we are doing the
came class OF work unaided and for
much less recompense.
The cost of living is very high and.
with an average salary OF $500 per
week. there is little surplus at the
end of the year; yet, many teachers
would like to increase their efficien-
cy by summer courses OF study.
Our rural teachers will receive a
well-earned gain next year and their
wages will almost equal those OF the
village teachers.
Respectfully submitted.
