SUSSEX AND TEACHERS sALARIEs.

From the Laurel Register.
The state Register has on several oc-
casions urged the necessity OF paying
more money to the teachers in our
public schools-for the simple reason
that they are at present poorly paid,
and are entitled 10 more liberal COM
pensation. Other state papers. notably
the Milford Chronicle, have made SINH
lar comment. We wonder sometimes,
what the outcome OF the present situ-
alton will be, and how long some Of
our school boards will be awakening
to the necessity OF securing more com
pensation to the teachers. Newspapers
and individuals time and again have
recommended that something be done.
and by some at least are looked upon
as common scolds or harping critics.
