The reading Of the minutes OF the
special meeting April IT, on motion
of Mr.. F. d. Winchester seconded,
by Mr.. j. H. McCardell were DIS
pensed with. Il
In response to the invitation OF
President j. c. Clausen, Superlnten-
dent Charles Gott placed before the
Board the following suggestions
and recommendation regarding me
increase Of the salary Of teachers.
MEMBERS OF THE ST. MARY
PARISH SCHOOL BOARD.
Gentlemen:
There can be no doubt that on
account of the increase cost OF ilv-
ing that the salaries of teachers IN
St. Mary Parish must be materially
increased if we nope to retain the
services of our excellent corps CT
teachers.
State Superintendents 7. H. Harris
called a Convention of Superlnten-
dents last January to discuss this
most important question, and 1t was
decided that salaries mist be m
creased in fairness to those engaged
in teaching.
/ understand from the newspa-
pers. that the Governor is to IN
dorse Legislation, looking to the hx-
inp of the assest valuation OF pro-
nertv for state purpose of 100 per-
cent and giving to the schools one
and one-half mills on this hundred
! percent valuation, whereas we now
/ 1Aceive one and thirteen-twentieth
mills on the fifty percent valuation.
; If this legislation passes (and we
have reason to believe 1t VIII from
the fact, that many parishes IN the
state are increasing teachers sala-
ries. and looking to this legislation
to Weld the increased income) this
one and-half mills on the one hun
dred percent valuation would BRING
about twenty-five thousand dollars
(s22.OOO) additional school revenue
to St. Mary Parish.
! On the present basis of revenues
and expenditures for the schools II
! ST. Marv Parish, the revenues fol
the school year 1918 and 1919 vii
Axceed the expenditures by abou'
six thousand dollars ($6,O0O).
expenditures are increased more
than six thousand dollars, it Is eVl
dent that this effect must in some
way be met. The Grand Jury ha'
recommended that a a\special tax O.
one and one-half Il 1-2) mills o.
placed on the property in St. Mary
Parish, to enable this Board tt
raise salaries. It is probably no
wise to ask the tax payers to vot'
mon this question until after, tn
Legislature has adjourned; as ! hav

dred and ninety to eighteen hundred
and thirty-five dollars per year;
Group 2, thirteen hundred and twen-
ty to thirteen hundred and eighty
dollars per year; Group ), nlne
hundred and ninety to ten hundred
and thirty-five per year; Group 4,
nine hundred to nine hundred and
fourty-five dollars per year: Group
5, one hundred to one hundred and
and five dollars per month; Group
5, hundred to one hundred and five
dollars per month; Group 6, eighty
five to ninety dollars per month;
Group 7, eighty-five to ninety dol
lars per month; Group 8, seventy, TO
seventy-five dollars per month;
Group 8, sixty-five to seventy dol
lars per month; Group 10, flfty-flve
to sixty dollars per month.
| further recommend that all Do
mestic Science teachers, doing the
present crisis of food shortage be
employed for the entire twelve
months, and that they spend the
summer months assisting the Gov
ernment Agent in Home Economics,
and working under her direction.
The total of this salary schedule,
from careful checking of the list Of
teachers in St. Mary Parish, allow
ing for changes in the teaching
force, and four additional teachers
will mean an expenditure of about
seventy thousand five dollars a
year for white teachers salaries, or
an increase of twelve thousand. five
hundred dollars in the expenditures.
After thorough discussion of the
recommendation, as introduced by
Superintendent Gott, Mr.. F. D. VIM
chester moved, seconded by MIR. Ri
chard Piper that the same be adopt
ed: Roll call showed the following
voted: Yeas: Messrs. J. c. William
Folse, H. L. Jolley, J. D. Ehrlich, j..
H. McCardell, C. A. Aycock, Sidney
Bonveilian, F. D. Winchester, and
Richard Pepper. Nays none. 1t was
declared by President Clausen that
the recommendations were unani-
mously adopted and the salary
schedule contain therein, would be
the salary schedule Of teachers in
St. Mary Parish for the school year
of 1918-1919.
A motion was introduced by Mr..
F. D. Winchester that the approprla-
ton of six hundred dollars for Ju-
: nior Demonstration Agent be in
creased to seven hundred and eighty
dollars per annum. The motion was
!. seconded bv Mr.. William Folse and
unanimously carried.
=, Mr.. H. L. Jolley introduced work
in the office of the Parish superin
dent that the Superintendent be al
, lowed fifteen dollars per month
for the payment of an office assis
tant. The motion was seconded By

Louisiana Notes

The Eltonian points with pardona-
bic pride, to a flock of hens in their
town that are doing their best to
observe the recent Daylight Saving
Law. AS time saving measure, 1t
is claimed that these hens insist on
having their setting nests near their
foraging grounds. While off their
nests TO obtain necessary refresh
ments from the nearby war gardens.
the minimum of time is thus lost
from their duties. The paper con-
cludes with the exclamation, "some
hens, eh?" Truly SO.
One Of the best ade seen in long
time is contained in the Abbeville
Progress. The only Improvement
possible, would be the substitute of
the word "all' for ''some." Here
it is; the wording changed to apply
locally:
The following are some Of the
reasons why you should not ad

shown that if the recommendation
of the Governor and State Superln-
tendent are enacted into law then,
we will have sufficient fnuds to
meet the increased expenditures. :.
Now the important question OF
a new salary schedule. 1t is e. ldent
that there are three important fac
tors in determining this salary sche-
dule, the child, the teacher and the
tax payer The children are to have
the best teachers possible to secure
at reasonable salaries. The teach-
ers are to receive salaries measur-
ed in the purchasing power OF the
dollar at the present time. And
the tax payers to be remembered;
to see that the tax rate is not ex-
ceptionally high.
With this idea in mind, and prac-
tice followed in many Of the most
progressive schools parishes in the
State. | have concluded that mi
nimum and maximum salary for
teachers in this Parish at this time
is a most excellent one, as we are
raising, salaries in order that we
may keep our lest teachers. That
being true, greater maximum sal
ary can be paid with the gwen
amount of revenue, than if one flat
salary were adopted.
After carefully study of the pro-
blem, have concluded, that mini
mum raise on the salary Of all
teachers should be ten dollars per
month, and all experienced teachers
should have an additional raise OF
five dollars per month.
In order to put this salary sche-
dule into definite and concrete form
in St. Mary Parish, teachers should
be grouped as follows:
! Group l. Principals of approved
High Schools.
Group II. Pricipals of Agricul,
ture Schools.
Group III. Principals of Gram
mar Schools of 4 teachers or more.
Group Nv Principals of Grammar
School of less than teachers:
Group v. First Assistants in Ap'
proved High Schools.
Group vi. First Assistant in Agri
culture Schools.
Group VII. High School Depart
ment Teachers.
Group VIII. First Grade teach
ers not included in any of the pre-
ceeding groups teaching in an!
school.
Group TX. Second grade teach
ers.
Group K. Third grade teachers
Teachers should be divided int,
two classes, A. and B. Class B
teachers Of no experience; class A
teachers Of successful experience
am inclined to recommend that NJ
teachers be placed in class A. unle:
they have done successfully, wori

Treatise On "Fooling."

The iegisture is almost ready to
meet. The lawmakers of the SOW
ereign state of Louisiana will soon
gather at Baton Rouge.
Will these men get down to busi-
ness and kick down the back steps
every petitfogging fool that comes to
delay and urge useless agitation or
will they fritter months and months
away in doing nothing while the
wohle world is being bled white on
the fields of carnage and when CIV
ilization is sending out her S. O. S.
call for help? 1t is up to the law
makers and the people who are go
ing to hold to strict account every
man who is derehcit of duty these
trying times.
One of the damning curses of this
great country of ours is fooling with
foolish things when every moment
of our precious times should be de-
voted to something that will buy and
pay for power and shot. The time
for foolishness has long since dis
appeared. 1t is almost too late now
to rectify the mischief that has al
ready been done by way of delay
Lake Charles Amercan-Press.
"These who are so loud in their
denunciation Of the Food Admins
tration because it has forsooth, not
! lowered the prices sufficiently, have
another think coming to them,'
speaks out the Assumption Pioneer.
Snuppose they stop for moment
and figure on what the prices might
be but for the Fod Administration
While they are thinking, these par
ties might ponder on the assertion
repeatedly made by men in the high
est positions in our land, that if it
was not for the efficient food con-
troll as carried on by the Food Ad-
ministration, several foods would be
very conpicious by their absense
regardless of price. But Of course
as long as a certain class Of people
exist, denouncing, regardless of its
merits, will always be a popular
form of indoor amusement.
