ty. It is universally acknowledged that
the salaries now paid our teachers Is
far below what is fair and reasonable
for services performed Judging from
the sentiments expressed az the hear

Legislature and the volur,inous petit
lion OF SIGNATURES fled with them, there
seemed 40 be but sligh, opposition
from the prominent taxpayers TO the
proposed Increase Of teachers sala-
ries provided for by the provisions OF
the bin Or. Gamers opposition 10
the bin which was previously based
upon consideration Tor the taxpayers
was finally discovered 10 be based
upon that OF classification. which
means his doling out of salaries,
which was really proven TO be
his chief and only concern over the
matter And everyone was astCnisn

who is responsible for this condition

our schools Assuming the statement
of the Doctor. for the sake Of argu-
ment. TO De true and it one Of the
strongest and most forCeful arguments
that could be advanced in favor of the
passage OF the bin now pending be
fore the Legislature. because it proves
conclusivc.y that the small salaries
we are nov paying our teachers are
not attracting the most talented teach
ers TO our schools.
In conclusion. the chief objection
that is being urged against the pas
sage Of the bill is that Il may increase
our taxes. Wei. what is true econ

wisely. II is, then. certainly the part
Of wisdom to spend money in order
that we may improve and properly de-
