HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS DIS.
cUss TROUBLES WITH
SCHOOL BOARD.
LACK OF EFFICIENCY AND
ORGANIZATION IN SCHOOL
To What Extsnt Salary Question and
Proposed Bonus System, Enter,
Into Controversy 10 Not Clear
Teachers Largely Opposed to b.
nue. Plan-Contraots Returned.

Members Of the high school corps
Of teachers and the board OF educa-
ton met Thursday afternoon at the
high school building to discuss the
bonus system proposed by the board
and to reconsider certain grievances
the teachers previously have discus
sed with the board, and which they
feel have not been fully rectified. Just
how far the question Of salary and
the proposed bonus system enter into
the controversy Is not quite clear.
President G. w. Lawrence. OF the
board, asked an expression from the
teachers with respect to the bonus
plan, and when q vote was taken
large majority of the instructors
voted against the plan. A vote was
cnlled for on the question Of whether
the bonus system was acceptable,
ond many of the teachers voted In
the negative. A few agreed that 1t
made no difference whether or not
the bonus clause was included In
the contracts.
Many of tho high school teachers
are said to be returning their con-
tracts unsigned, and 1t has been In
timated in news stories that this was
due to the bonus system. The teach
ers have taken exception to this
statement, and at q meeting OF the
teachers association, held Wednes-
day night at the home Of Misses
Jones, Boise, Heller and Stanley. all
members Of the faculty. ct go? Park
street, at which about twenty teach
ers were present, statement was
prepared. for publication setting
forth the position of the teachers.

The teachers deny that the salary
question or the bonus proposal are
mainly responsible for return Of un-
signed contracts. The statement in

meeting Of the board on Tuesday. to

signed their contracts because Of the

for the statement Of the teachers. The

and referred principally to grade

far as the teachers know this had
not been done.
II was explained by Mrs. Nichols
ana other board members that an Of
fort had been made to base the sal
aries on efficiency as teachers. quail
ification. preparation, and term OF
service. Because of tho limitations
on funds applicable for salaries the
term OF service could not be given
attention. Mrs. Nichols believed
terms OF service In the local schools
should DO recognized. but some of
the teachers believed such recogni-
ton should be for term OF service In
any school.
Some Teachers to Quit.
Tho committee on teachers and
salaries met this afternoon to dis
cuss the wage question. Prior to tho
meeting, Mrs. r. c. Nichols, chair
man. said she did not know what the
attitude OF the committee would be,
because OF the shortage OF funds to
meet the salary list, should the 10
per cent now offered as a bonus be
made a part Of the regular salary.
The action Of tho salaries commit
tee today may have an important
bearing on the whole situation. but
according to some Of the teachers
they will not sign contracts solely
because there is an increase Fin pay.
Just how wide-sweeping this senti-
ment among teachers will be is not
apparent, altho members Of tho as
ISOLATION declare 1t will be rather
general.

THE BOARD OF TRADE MUST
HAVE MORE FUNDS

At meeting of the board of gov
of Trade Thursday morning, April 8,
held for the purpose of preparing a
budget for the year, it was found that
the present income of the organiza-
tion is inadequate. The board of gov
ernors named the undersigned a COM
mittee of two to take such steps as
might be necessary to increase the in
come, and. after viewing the situation,
we have asked the president to call a
special meeting of the Board of Trade
for next Monday night, April IL, at
o'clock, that the matter may be plac-
ed before the entire body.
The Board of Trade has demon
strated during the past year that it
is a very necessary part of the COM
mercial and civic life of the commu-
nifty. In publicity alone the organi-
zation has more than justified its ex-
istence during this time. Inquiries
concerning the city and county have
been received from forty-two states
and Canada. Ocala and Marion coun-
ty are facing an opportunity for de-
velopment such as they have never
faced before.
We call upon all those who are in
terested in the commercial and civic
welfare of the city and county to at
tend the meeting next Monday night
The Marion County Board of Trade
cannot continue to operate success
fully on it's present income.

SOVIET MARRIAGE LAWS

London, March 22.-(Corrsspon-
dence of the Associated Press) ).-R
Russian wife is required to support
her husband if she be able to do 80
and he is unable to work and in need
of her support, under the marriage
laws of soviet Russia. A copy of this
code, translated into English has just
reached London from the Russian
peoples commissariat of justice.
1t provides that married persons
shall be expected to support each
other. Should one refuse and the
other be what is classed as a "need-
full" unfit for work, the latter has the
right to apply to the department of
social security to compel the husband
or wife, as the case may be, to pay
support.
Mutual consent of husband and
wife or merely the desire of one of
them to be freed from the other may
be considered as grounds for divorce.
Local judges are authorized to hear
divorce cases but their decisions are
subject to appeal.
The matrimonial age is fixed at Is
for men and 16 for girls. Both must
be of sound mind and mutually desir-
Gus of marriage. Differences of re-
ligion or vows of celibacy are no i'm
pediment. Married persons may
choose to bear the surname of the
bride or of the bridegroom or their
joint names. Marriages contracted
in accordance with religious forms
are not binding unless the union is
registered under the prescribed form
of civil. or sovietist marriages. Old
forms of marriage law or, as it is
termed, "the legalized forging to-
gether of men and women" are abol-
ished.
Under the laws of succession in the
soviet code, none but the "needful"
and the state may inherit property.
| The estates of emigrants and of reb-
els are subject TO confscation by the
state.
