The question of increased pay for
the Birmingham grammar school
teachers will be taken up at a joint
meeting of the city commission and
the city board of education during the
coming week. At this time il is hoped
by members of both boards that some
thing can be done toward giving the
teachers raise, but as yet they con-
fess to be at a loss to know whsre
funds for such an increase will be
found
Public opinion throughout BirminS-
ham is that the teachers should he
paid more than they are getting 1T
present. but so far no one has come
forward with a plan for the commits
sion to raise more money for this pur-
pose.

city commission and the board of edu-

boards had not forgotten the teachers
and their plea for more money and
that everything would be done at The
joint meeting next week to find means
of an increase He has not yet decided
upon the exact date of the meeting of
the board.

board of education last Monday the
