Greater Salaries, But Amounts
Are Not Stated.

There is good news for grade school
teachers in the District appropriation
bill, which is expected to be reported to
the House early next week.
The salaries Of All lower grade teach
ers are going to be increased, probably
up to the $1,000 grade. This increase

crease for all government employees,
which was carried as an amendment on
the legislative appropriation bill.
Basic salary for school teachers in
the District Of Columbia is going to be
raised. How much, members of the COM
mittee decline to state; but it is known
that Chairman Sisson of the subcom-
mittee on District appropriations has
stated his conviction that teachers in
the lower grades are just as efficient in
their line as those in the higher grades,

to work for less money.
Although the meetings on the Dis
trict appropriation bill are executive,
the information that the school teach
ers are to receive a substantial increase
in salary comes from very reliable au-
thority.
