WOULD ADD TO TEACHERS PAY IN STATE

State aid beyond what Is now given
 to increase the salaries oc teachers in
 Connecticut is proposed Tn q bill that
 is now before the education commit tee of the legislature. If it should
 pass in it's present form it would bring
 to Norwich $11.112 from the state treasury to be used for teachers sal aries and would mean a salary addi- tion of about $70 for each Norwich teacher.
 The bill is one that has been prepar- ed by the Connecticut superintendents' association of which E. J. Graham of this city is president, and has been prepared in view of the alarming shortage in school teachers, which the advocates of this bill say is entirely due to the salary situation. This has affected particularly the schools in country districts and to their great de- triment in a lowering of the standard of available teachers. as almost any body who would consent to teach has been put in charge of schools in order to have any teaching force at all. A great many teachers in the cities have deserted teaching for better paid oc- normal graduates teaching in country schools into the city to fill vacancies created in city schools. The country districts have accordingly been left without competent normal trained teachers. This year the normal schools l of the state will have only about tWo- thirds of customary number in their graduating classes, and this makes the outlook for securing new teachers where needed very unpromising As
 an indication of the falling off in nor

he came to Norwich where he worked on the Advertiser for a short time. Leaving the Advertiser in the winter of 1869 he came to the Bulletin and for twenty seven years worked con- tinuously in the composing room of this paper where he was a valued and con- sciencious worker. When the Hno- type machines were installed in 1895 and the hand-set work was no longer necessary he left the Bulletin and went into the employ of the Index, which was run by Alvin Bentley. When this paper went out of existence MT. Cur tiss retired from the printing business but has always retained his interest in the craft and for a number of years has done reportorial work TOT the Bull letin at different times.
 When MT. Curtiss came to Norwich he became member of the Norwich | 'Typogra phical union No. 100 and at the time of his death was the oldest member. He held many offices in the l union during his membership and was one of the two pensioners of the union, the other being William H. Eagles. In Willimantic on Aug. 25, 1863, he was united in marriage with Laura l Jewett, who died on Dec. 18th last at the age of S4 years. Four children were born of this union, all of whom l have died. They were Eugene. Ina, Arthur W. and Walter G. Curtiss. 1 From 1902 until the consolidation of l the schools in 1912 MT. Curtiss was school tax collector for the West Chel- sea district, which office he compe- tently filled. . .Ia
 He was a strong believer in Spirit ualism and was a member of the Nor wich Spiritual union, being a regular attendant at the services while his health permitted.
 On Feb. 1st of this year members ot 1 the Norwich Typographical union call ed at his home and presented him g substantial token of the regard ir
 which he was held by the members o1
 the craft.
 Mir Curtiss has outlived all other
 members of his family and is the las of his immediate family. He was z
 man of sterling qualities. a knight ot
 the old school, kind and generous hearted, with a, character that was be- yond reDroach He was a friend of al who came in contact with him and i
 was a pleasure to be in his company.
