Campaign Has Started To Increase the Salaries of the Teachers in
 Arkansas.

Little Rock, April Special - The campaign for increased pay for teachers is meeting with splendid re suits

It was forced upon them by the fact that the ranks of the teachers are being thinned out rapidly by retirement of great mum bers of teachers to seek more remun- cTatiye occupations. An actual teach. or shortage was staring the people in the face, and something had to be done or the schools would suffer an ire mediable loss.
 Sc the boards began raising salaries It was not confined to Arkansas but !. has been q nation wide movement In Chicago fiat raise of $400 was grant ed all teachers, and other cities are d0- ing as well or better.
 Little Rock is one Of the cit,es that nave done better, the board having granted an increase of 30 per cent to all teachers, white and cOlore3. The University of Arkansas and the Siat@ Normal School Board have granted an increase of from 9 to 30 per cent The boards of Hot Springs and Fort Smith are among the larger cities working on proposed increases, while many of the smaller places have already advanced to the salaries Unless this is done it will be impossible for teachers to con tinue in their profession at the starva- ticn wages which have been paid
