TEACHERS TO ASH FOR RELIEF.
Will Request Progressive, Gradua-

The regular monthly meeting Of
the Alexandria Teachers Association
was held yesterday afternoon. Miss
Fox of the Bureau of Education OF
Washington was present and eN-
planned the extended use of the
standard tests now being applied in
the leading schools of the country
The subject of salaries was among
others which came up for conside-
ration, concerning which Prof. c.
T. Ryan, secretary OF the teachers
association, has furnished the Ga
zette with tho following report:
At the regular monthly meeting
Of the Alexandria Teachers Associa-
ton yesterday afternoon action was
taken to have the salary of the
teaching corps placed on an ag-
gressive graduated scale. Upon mo-
ton substantiated by a majority
of the thirty-seven teachers present,
committee will be appointed to
formulate a plan to present to the
School Board showing the present un-
progressive and antiquated plan
and to ask that, body to remedy mat
tcrs at once. At present there is
no inducement offered teacher to
remain in the system, for the SAL
airy one receives during his first
year usually remains the same re-
gardless of his time and experience
in the system.
The committee will be instructed
by the Association not to take an an
tagonistic stand, toward those higher
up, for the Association feels that the
Justice of the Board when that body
is impressed of the unfairness of the
present system, will induce the men,
bers to adopt a progressive salary
basis

every effort to increase their prof.
cheney and to give to their work the
results of an earnest study of mod

tial increase in salary as a recog-

charge their duty. Maryland school
boards give their teachers an in

Those who favor the sale of liquor
are somewhat alarmed over the re-
ports coming from Richmond to the
effect that it seems quite probable
that the state legislature which
meets next year, may cut OFF the
provision of the law permitting a
citizen of the state to import quart
of liquor a month from outside ter
ritory. The upholding of the Webb
Kenyon act by the United States SD
preme Court leads the Richmond Of
ficials to believe that Virginia will
be made strictly dry state. Much
