Random Remarks

There has been considerable COM
ment recently because of the number
OF teachers who have resigned their
positions in the Mount Holly schools
this year. A larger salary elsewhere
is given as the reason for most of the
teachers leaving. While this is UNI
doubtedly true, the situation is one re-
requiring much attention. Board in
Mount Holly is high. Four OF the
teachers resigned to accept positions
that will enable them to live at home.
but besides that advantage, their new
salaries will be greater than would be
paid them in Mount Holly next term.
The board of education has tried to
meet the rapidly mounting cost of liv-
ing by giving little extra increase in
salaries, but apparently the amount
is not sufficient. 1t is reported that
some of the members OF the board are
In favor of electing applicants living
in Mount Holly whenever possible,
with the belief that such teachers, liy-
ing at home, would be satisfied with
less money than out-of-town employees.
A part of this idea is good. Eff
Gent home teachers should be elected
and retained whenever the opportun-
ity appears. But the laborer is worthy
OF his hire, and there should be no at |
tempt to keep salaries low because
She lives in town. Her home is here;
she won't leave" A teacher living in
Mount Holly is under less expense than
one who comes from another town and
must pay board, but the smaller ex
penses of the local girl should not be
considered by the board of education
as a basis for fixing the remuneration
of all the teachers employed The
taxpayers expect an efficient staff, and
they are willing to pay the bill. 1t is
all wrong to base salaries on the sum
which Mount Holly girl, living
at home, is willing to accept. There
should be no penuriousness 1t is stat
ed that both Moorestown and Burling-
ton pay better salaries than Mount |
Holly. 1t is easy for the board of edu-
cation to say Let them go, we have
plenty of applicants" but constantly |
changing corps Of teachers does not |
help school. Unless there is some
other reason than the salary question
for the many designations this year,
the board Of education should |
plan next year to pay efficient teachers
better salaries, and thus retain their
services.

ChautauQua.

The summer session of ChautAuqua
opened in Mount Holly, Friday, under
rather unfavorable circumstances. The
tent did not arrive on time owing to
the trouble in securing transportation,
and the afternoon performance began
late. In addition to this there was
sharp thunder shower in the evening,
but in spite of that the people attended
and the tent was filed. The rain,
which fell in torrents, did not dampen
the enthusiasm of the performers or of
the audience.
j. Nj. Wells is the platform manager
and he is well fitted for the position.
He has given some good talks and will
