From Highland Lad

Why is it that flowers are worn today:
To make US look stylish and fresh
and gay?
No; because of the hair we've helped
make gray
With mothers worries; its Mothers
Day.
Who watched Ger our cradles in life's
first days.
And patiently toiled. that we might
play?
Who taught US our children's prayers to

In hopes that we close to our God
might stay
Who was it whose lips knew nausht but
praise:
Whose arms held US tight in a fond
embrace:
Whose heart ached most in our trying
days.
And nearly burst when we came

When these wiIted blossoms are thrown

Voice of the People

, from the teachers last year and this
year had been turned down. She asked
that the club use its influence to see if
any redress were possible.
4 committee of five was appointed
Upon investigation # was learned that
forty OF the one hundred and thirteen
grade teachers received less than ffteen
dollars a week.
BY special appointment this commit
tee was received by the board Of educa-
| ton. Those also present were the
superintendent of schools. the attorne.-
for the board and the mayor. The COM
mittee stated its purpose and asked if
there was any way 10 raise the mini
mum wage of grade teachers to at least
eighty-five dollars a month. 1t cited. on
the one hand. the increased living ex-
penses: on the other hand the demand
for women workers in other lines of
work at greater pay
The committee was informed at once
that the school city now has a deficit of
more than $4,000. the full Indebtedness
permitted by law. This raised the Ques-
ton: If the school city is in debt TO
the legal limit under present conditions.
which feature of the school work will
be affected by the huge retrenchment
which must take place next year?
As most citizens understand. the COM
mon school fund is set aside by the
state and is used only to pay the
salaries of grade teachers. The school
census taken every year enrolls all per-
sons between the ages Of six and TWEEN
ty-one, irrespective of race or creed.
This enrolment determines the sllot-
ment of funds for each common school.
The children Of parochiaI schools are
counted but parochial schools do not re-
ceive any of this money. This fund
is never adequate to meet the demands
Of a growing city. Another fund. the
special fund is raised by taxation. The
board informed the committee that be-
cause OF low valuation of property. and
the inequality of assessments. the treas
ury was not only empty but. in debt to
the limit. The matter of revaluatio
should have been done last year. Neigh
boring cities facing a similar financial
situation saw to it that proper action
was taken to provide against the con-
tingency that would arise If saloon IL
cense money were no longer available.
This committee feels keenly that the
common school is at all times a most
valuable branch Of education, and in
an industrial community such as we
have here of paramount Importance. 1t
recommended no drastic changes in the
curriculum. neither did it seek in any
way TO tear down the present school
management. But since a big retrench-
ment is necessary. IL was distinctly
within its rights to ask where this was
to be done. No measure was considered
