In the election last Thursday,
in Walhall0 School District Nb Ct,
on the question OF levying ny addl-
tional tax O. four Drtua, iur tn ,,,ar.
pose Of meeting current exUehscs
of the schools, there wore 0i.ty 81
votes polled, and of this numner 81
were favorable TO The additional levy
and one against it. The levy will be
added to the taxes next year, and by
reason Of this increase in funds for
current support Of the schools, the
trustees will be enabled tt pay the
teachers salaries more in keeping
with the services rendered. While
this will be the case, we do not be-
lieve that our teachers will receive
anything like what they ought to
have. AS q matter OF fact, those who
are labOring to train and teach the
children Of the district to make the
future citizens Of our town and COM
munity, receive for their services
about one-half the wage paid to the
average unskilled negro laborer, who
can neither read nor write. When
the teachers compensation is in
creased by reason Of the funds that
will be available from this extra tax,
they will receive about two-thirds as
much as the average unskilled la
borer. ..
