TEACHERS TO GET
 SALARY INCREASE
3ehool Board Grants Petition For More Pay.-EHective
 December 1st
Gaa0uisory Military Training at High Ae Sehool Alse Voted

A . meeting of the town school aD@aittee Monday evening 1t was wsepA to grant an increase of salary ts teachers in the Putnam High U6hsel and graded schools. The board aass voted in favor of compulsory mil lnary training at the High school. It Uas further voted to raise the salary sf Louis F. Battey, principal of the swsaing school, seven dollars week.
 rhe wage increase for teachers at NIhe High school was in response to pstition presented which they signed, 1iing for more money. The teach m set forth in their petition that the ensx of living at it's best estimate IS oonclusively proven by staticians to lave increased since 1914 by 193 per cent. whereas the teachers of five xeau' experience in Putnam Hlgh ,arhool have had increases of salary auounting to approximately 29 per cent, and thereby have lost about "A ger cent in the purchasing value of &heir money.
 The teachers further pointed out cat while not single teacher shows aa increase in salary in 50 far as pur- chasing power is concerned, there IS aixo to be considered that no in- <reases have been allowed on the basis sf experience, and therefore greater value to the town goes unrecognized.
 The salary increases just authorized by the town school committee will ad- iust the compensation question for at least a year, it Is hoped, it was stated kv one of the members of the school board
 The increase decided upon by the Asard is s250 per year for the super Sntendent of schools, the principal and sub-master of the High school; a fifteen per cent increase to the teach CTS of the High school; and ten per cent increase to the teachers of the common schools. All of these in ercases became effective December ast.
 The increase is in line with what Ass been done and is being done in pther towns and cities where requests for inceases have generally been deemed just and acceeded to. The committee realized that unless Put nam kept abreast of other places that its present efficient teaching organiza- tion was apt to be disrupted by teach ers leaving to go where they could got more money. It is understood that teachers are getting many offers from places where the pay IS larger and that they are not bound by any strong ties to remain in Putnam.
 In voting in favor of military train sng for boys in the High school the committee is also adopting what has been found to be beneficial in colleg- ss and some of the finest High schools. It has been found that the training benefits the boys physically, makes them more manly and alert besides training them in discipline. It also inxtills patriotism and makes them greater asset to their country in time sf need.
