BOARDS TERMS
ARE ACCEPTED
City Teachers Viii Sign Con
tracts Offered at Present
Salaries.

Teachers in the city school system,
through action of their association,
have decided to accept the present sal
AIRY schedules and will sign the con-
tracts offered them by the board OF
education.
This action wal taken by a luminous
vote Of the association at a session
held late Thursday afternoon, which
was attended by about 200 out Of the
$50 members.
This decision removes, at least for
the present, the possibility Of a con-
troversy over the question of increased
salaries and the recognition OF the as
sociation as a union organization. The
association is a member of the National
Association Of Teachers, which is af-
filiated with the American Federation
Of Labor. A number of teachers had
already signed the contracts as indi-
yiduals and members Of the association
believe that IL may be possible to Sc
cure some increase in present salaries
during the coming year.
Members Of the board of education
have said unofficially that they admit
that in many instances the salaries
paid are inadequate, but that with the
automatic increase Of IS a month
granted the teachers for each year OF
service, and the $40 flat increase to
every teacher granted last year, and
In effect also for the present year, the
additional increase now. They hope
with the increased assessment, which
viii produce several thousand dollars
more or the 50-cent school tax levy
than had been estimated, and with the
possibility that the city schools will
receive more from the state and county
tax aggregate than last year, that they
may be able TO find the funds for an
other slight increase next year, or dur.
ing the second term of this years SEES,
- sions.
The scholastic year of the city
schools is figured from July to July
the school terms running approximately
mately 1000, 900 a year, the amour
during 10 months. beginning in Sep.
tember. Out of revenues of approx,
expended for teachers salaries Ii
slightly in excess of $500 900 a year.

weight were then organized, with II.
Weaver and Francis Munroe as their
leaders. Some good work was done b.
both teams and about ten O'Clock the
boys were literally pushed out of the
lrmory and sent home.
The team headed by Weaver is prac-

There are lots of room for four or

that the parents of boys of scout age
will take an interest in this move

enough to handle a dozen troops if the
