TEACHERS Of Many
DISTRICTS CFTRAISE
UNDER REVISED LAW
Marion County Instructors
Who Wil Receive More
Pay Number l6O.

Now if the farmers wives viii NOT
raise board on the school teachers, said
school teachers win have a chance here
after to more than break even on the
game. The last legislature passed a law
making $500 month the minimum
salary for teachers in the state.
When the law was up for passage
an eastern Oregon representative said
out his way they would be ashamed to
offer teacher less than $4,000 a
month. But it seems that the direc.
tors Of rural schools in Marion county
are most assuredly not ashamed of such
a figure. The fact is the Marion coun-
ty rural teacher is OF has been lucky
to get about $4,000 a month.
While there has been no special ex-
citement among teachers since the law
was passed, the fact is that 100 teach
ers in Marion county will have their
salaries raised next fall many Of them
as much as s25.00 a month. That is,
l60 teachers are now employed in the
county who are receiving less than $75
a month.
This law will not affect the Salem
school district as the lowest salary paid
in the city is $75 a month. But it was
not so many years ago that the school
directors thought $65 a month was
enough for a primary teacher where
much of the most important work is
done.

one salary from $500 month to the

rollmen' Of p pupils. The directors will
