question was discussed and the diff
ference between Y. trimmed and an nm
trained teacher was noted. A stand
was made for the payment of teachers
on the twelve months basis. A school
board meeting was called (112 MEM
bers presently and a resolution adopt
ed placing the minimum salary for
elementary grade teachers (trained)
at $1,000 on the twelve months basis.
This contract calls for attendance at
some standard normal school or COL
lege for a period of six weeks once in
three years teaching summer ses-
sion of six weeks or travelling once in
three years, and the third summer free
to do as the teacher pleases. (Form
of contract enclosed.) One hundred
seventy-five out of 240 of the teachers
of this county are now under this con-
tract. More are coming in. When we
consider that the rural schools are
adopting a ten months course and
that the teacher is being paid to equip
herself for the work, we must note
that progress is being made. Not
only this but the teacher is being
placed on salary schedule which
will increase from year to year up to
not less than $500 accordingto eff
cheney and professional progress.

filled this fall with trained teachers
