"Stop Thief"
In recent issue of the Independent
appeared an article explaining addi-
tional requirements for North Dakota
teachers in order to secure certifi-
Gates. This is undoubtedly a good
thing. Every teacher should attend
at least the summer sessions of Nor
NAL schools, but they should have
more money for their services. The
salaries Of teachers have not increas-
fessions. A section hand receives
more pay than a great many teachers,
who have to spend years in fitting
themselves for their important work.

money than the average school teach
