MINIMUM WAGES
FOR TEACHERS
Teachers of Crawford County Will be
Interested in Law Recently En-.
acted Fixing Minimum Wages
GREAT SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS
Since Outbreak of the War Teachers
Have Taken Up Other Lines of
ta Work With Better Pay.

Teachers of Crawford county will
be interested in the law recently pass
ed by the general assembly fixing the
minimum wage of teachers through
out The state. Since the outbreak OF
the war, there has been a shortage OF
teachers throughout the country,
probably due to the fact that teachers
were taking up other lines OF work
which pay better salaries. Many rural
schools in this county. as well as in
|other counties have been closed be-
cause teachers were not available to
the salaries offered. Even the town
and city schools have been affected
by this condition. The bill passed by
the state legislature fixes minimum
salary for the teachers and it is be-
lieved that with, the increase in salary
thus provided it will have tendency
to relieve present conditions.
According to the bill passed, teach
ers will be paid for their services a
minimum wage of not less than the
amounts herein set forth:
/. A, teacher who has completed, a
four-year college course and received
a degree from an approved college
and who is the holder of a state GER
tificate or a state diploma, shall re-
ceive minimum wage Of 500 per
month.
After two years of successful teach
ing experience, the minimum wage
will be 1920 a month.
) 2. A teacher who has completed a
two-year course in education ina state
normal school or any other school,
whose diploma is recognized as the
equivalent and who shall be the lold-
err of state certificate, or the holder
of a state certificate issued upon ex-
animation, shall receive a minimum
wage of $50 per month.
After two years teaching the mini
mum wage shall be 500 per month.
