TEACHERS SHOULD BE PAID

A dispatch to the Vicksburg Herald
SAYS hundreds Of school teachers
throughout Mississippi are speculat-
ing as to the probability Of their al
lowed pay for the four weeks during
which schools have been shut down.
on the recommendation Of the health
authorities, on account Of the miiu-
enga epidemic. There is nothing ap-
parently in the law requiring school
to pay their teachers, even
though it should be term time, for
time lost owing to such conditions as
have prevailed. At the same time
it will be hard lines on the teaching
corps,whose living expenses have
gone on all the time just as though
there had been no interruption due
entirely to the dispensations OF prov
idence.
The state department Of education
has gone as for as it can in address
ing a communication to all shoot
boards, urging them to carefully con-
slider the matter, and if possible that
they find a way to pay the salaries
Of theirhard worked and poorly paid
teachers, whether or not school has
been maintained during the epidemic.
The state superintendent has no au-
thority to order such action, and can
only advise or suggest.
There are legal and statutory rocks
in the pathway, and the law pues-
tons involved have been referred to
the state department Of justice for
Investigation and much may depend
on the decision of that branch of the
government Attorney General Collins
was looking into the matter today
with aview to answering the inter
rogatories submitted by Steae Su-
p%erintendent Bond.
Discussing the matter informally,
Mr.. Collins expressed the view that
while a close Interpretation OF the
statutes clearly shows the intent OF
be educated, there is nothing therein
educated, there is nothing therein
written that would prevent school
boards adopting measures to compen-
safe teachers for lost time, provided
.hcy have sufficient funds with which
TO afford a bonus.
Another view is that the affair
night be Strengthened out by an ar
.angement with the teachers to make
ID lost time in any way that might
Commend itself as feasible and prac-
icable. For instance, it might be ar
'anged to add an extra hour onto
ZACH school day; hold school for at
east half day Saturday, and shorten
he Christmas holiday period, as
we'll as cut cut other holidays. In
this way, it is thought, the rights OF
the child as we'll as the teacher
might be conserved. This only sug'
gestive, and any such arrangement
would be left to local conditions tt
decide or carry into effect.

Committee for Mississippi, I am writ

the Mississippi organization that has
to Mr.. Gunter during the campaign.
No one realizes more than l do the
splendid work that Mr.. Gunter has
done, and I fully appreciate the fact
that it will be hard to follow the pace
that he has set, but with the help of
those who have worked so faithfully
as members of the organization IN
der his direction, I am persuaded
that we can carry the War Savings
campaign to a successful conclusion.
In fact, there is nothing else to do.

MR.. GUNTER RESIGNS.
Jackson, Miss,

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 26, 1918
To County Directors, State Organizers and all
Members of the Mississippi War Savings
Organization
Business changes having necessi-
tated my removal from the State of
Mississippi to New Orleans, I felt
that I should resign as State Direc-
tor of the Mississippi War Savings
Committee, and my resignation has
been accepted.
Only my conviction that the best
interests of the campaign would be
subserved by the appointment of a
Mississippian to head the work ever
persuaded me to resign, for my as
ISOLATION with the faithful members
of the War Savings organization in
Mississippi has been so very pleasant
that I was reluctant to sever myof-
fetal relation, and l want to take this
occasion to thank every man and-wo-
man in Mississippi who has aided me
in this great work for their splen-
did cooperation.
Mr.. Webster M. Buie, Vice Presi-
dent of the Capital National Bank
of Jackson, one of Mississippi's best
and Invest men and most patriotic
citizens, has benn appointed as my
successor, and I know that the work
in Mississippi will be carried to a sue
cessful conclusion under his able di-
rection. I want to ask for Mr.. Buie
the same good cooperation that has
been given to me during my tenure in
office as State Director. He is en-
titled to it, and the work itself is en-
titled to the best that the people
can give.
