MEXICO TEACHERS
GET MORE MONEY

That watchful and patient waiting
sometimes brings results is proved by
the fact that on last Monday night
at the regular meeting of the school,
board the teachers of the city schools
wer given a raise in salary which they
had not asked for and which, for the
most part, they were not expecting
to get. The warrants issued TO them
in February will be for $40 more then
the amount they have been getting.
This increase in salary does not
affect the ones who at the present
time are getting the highest pay,
namely, the men teachers and The
principal of the South Side school.
Teachers in the negro school will get
an advance of but S.; and all the jan
itors are to get this much more each
month.
This action of the Mexico School
Board is in keeping with a movement
to raise the salaries of the school
teachers all over the country. In
many cities instructors are ASKING for
and receiving increases of from ten
to fifty per cent. Not many teachers
however, are getting more money un-
less they ask for it. The Mexico
School Board, when it found that the
funds on hand would allow a small in
crease in the wages of its employees,
made the increase unsolicited, accord
ing to one of its members.
