material increase in salary, was commercially
prompt; and, Mr. Barton remarked the
harmonious action of the Board with not a
single dissenting vote and practically no dis
expected that the Board would grant an increase
because of wartime conditions. The petitioners
asked for more than was granted, but the con-
cession of the Board should it seems to US be
met on the part of the teachers with a spirit of
assisting the Board as much as possible. The
increase should be measured in term of the
years increase which was made $500 for as
slstant grade school teachers and not upon the

haps, small.
