WHY The SCHOOL
TAX SHOULD CARRY

l
tax payers of the sixth ward has
| been called for March 3, 1914.
For the information of the peo-
| pie OF the 9Th Ward, Il statement oi
| tho financial condition of the said
| ward is in order.
Since teachers salaries il one OF
! tho largest items of the expcndi-
| lures, this will receive first con
sidcration. There are, in this ward
this session, thirty 500 white teach
era whose salaries aggregate nine
teen hundred and thirty U030) dol
lars per month, and twelve U2) col
| ored teachers whose salaries
amount to two hundred eighty-two
dollars and fifty cents per mon h
| Last year, the number of teach
| ers was the same and the same
amount was dishursed monthly III
salaries, yet the School Board has
established new school near
Morbihan, and by this means, there
arc being educated about forty
children who had no opportunity
or securing schooling before. The
fact that school facilities are oper
ia more children in this ward this
year than last year, and yet at nc
increase In the amount disbursed
in salaries shows that the Schoo
Board Is managing Its finances 10
ultimately, economically and eff
cicntly.
It might be interesting to note il
! thia connection that the Iber n
Parish School Board, contrary to
the custom prevailing throughout
thia State, pays its teachers by
| tho calendar month. The custom
prevailing generally throughout
our State IL to pay school teachers
by the school month Of twenty
days. Tho calendar month plan
was adopted by the iberia Parish
School Board in order to save tc
this Parish as much money AZ pos
sible. BY this plan the teachers oi
iberia Parish really render nine
! months service, and yet receive
pay for only eight and one-halI
months, thereby saving to tho
School Board one-half month,
| salary throughout the Parish.
| II is a generally accepted fact
that no community in the State car
boast Of q more efficient faculty
thar is found in the 9th ward o'
Iberia Parish. The schools to whiel
| the people Of the ward send thcil
| children are in the hands OF cner.
| getic, painstaking and well equip
ped teachers. A glance at the dats
which follows will convince any
one OF the fact that the Schoo
Board has enlisted the services o.
u most efficient group of teachers
at minimum expenditure in sal
aries:
