Joseph Bray, 920 Ridge St., will
put up a sorghum factory to accom-

soaring this ought to be a good year
to cultivate cane.

NIGHT TEACHERS To GET
INCREASE IN SALARY
Board of Education May Fix Basis
at Twenty Per
Cent.

Increase in salary averaging ap-
proximately 20 per cent probably will
be granted teachers in the District
public night schools by the board
of education at it's meeting tomorrow.
A new wage scale for the night
school instructors has been drawn.
up by school officials, carrying rec
concentrations for this increase. and
will be presented to the school board
tomorrow for adoption or rejection.
The increase, if granted. will be
based on longevity service. The new
scale to be submitted to the board is
graduated-teachers in the night
school service for six years or longer
to be granted a larger rate of in
for three years.
wages for the night school workers
is the outcome of pleas by the teach
ers for more money, and the inability
of school authorities to obtain a suffi-
Gent number to I'LL existing vacan-
cies in the night school system. Two
examinations already have been held
for night school teachers. but they
have failed to produce the teachers
needed. Another is contemplated in
the near future.
It was pointed out today by school
of;cisis that teachers in the nigh,
schools now receive an average sal
airy Of $2.75 a night, while evening
school instructors in private institu.
