TEACHERS BILLS
TO LEGISLATURE
NEXT MONDAY
Would Check designations and
Change Probationary Periods.
Combine Funds Later.

Whatever Legislation is desired by
the State Federation of District
Boards OF Education with regard to
public school teachers will be EN-
bodied in two bills which will be pre-
sented to the Legislature a week from
tonight. To put the finishing touches
on the measures the legislative conf
mittee of the federation will meet al
Trenton next Monday.
Much of the details of the subjects
of the bills was discussed at a meet
ing of the committee, held in the
rooms of the local Board of Educa-
tion at the City Hall Saturday after
noon. The question of merging the
retirement and disability pensions,
the enactment of a law to check the
resignation of teachers without glving
due and sufficient notice and an
amendment of the law SO as to change
the probationary period for teachers
from three to five years, were the
topics discussed.
Purpose of Bills.
The purpose of the two bills to be
presented is to check the resigna
tion of teachers and to change the
probationary period. 1t is understood
that the bill to merge the retirement
and disability pensions will not be
presented at that time.
The committee intends to present
during the present session of the Leg
islature bill, drafted a year ago, to
merge the retirement and disability
pensions. According to Charles p.
Taylor, under the present law, teach
ers are compelled to pay from to
g per cent. of their salary TO the
fund. This fund is only for disabled
teachers, and can only be called upon
after twenty years of service. Mr..
Taylor says only about per cent OF
the teachers serve for a period OF
twenty years, ard only a very few
receive any benefits.
The committee went on record as
favoring plan to have all teachers
give written notice to local boards
of education on or before May Is of
each year of his or her intention to
teach in that district during the fol-
lowing year. The committee contends
that upon failing to do this teachers
should forfeit their right to teach In
any public school in this State, A
serious disadvantage has been caused
by teachers falling to notify various
local boards of education of their in
tention.
