Did not expect to be able to write

innate Of what salaries will be for
next year. You will notices that
$50 is the minimum salary for a teach
er without experience. The x $50
means an annual increase of 500 a
year for four years.
It's true that we have many teach
ers who are not worth what they are
now getting, but we are satisfied of
the fact that the reason for this is
that 50 many have left the profession

One Of our older county superinten-

rising generation sWorth doing at all,
1T should be done wslls and should be
paid for. to the same extent that any
other necessary work is. being paid
for 81 it is not worth that then
let us close the schools and quit being
typocrites and turn to something else
that justifies our whole hearted ef-
forts. \ do not know just exactly
row the idea orig ii ia;i TED that teachsrs
and preacherssshould be paid accord
ing to what the other fellow saw fit
to give them, but Of this i am certain,
tlsat this practice has wellsnigh driven
both the teachers and preachers into
precarious nomadic existence, a sort
Of tramp life, that has gradually driv-
en- men and women out Of the work
SO that only those with less ability
have remained in the work Of teaching
