pay for teachers in Richmond public
schools, was added to the school bud

the board of education, it was an
nounced Monday
These increases have been written
into contracts for next year, which
will be sent out within few days. De-
tails of the budget are not yet ready
for publication.
In addition to increasing teachers
pay the board of education decided to
!engthen the school year from nine to
10 months. This will become effective
in 1920-21.
"This extension will prove of great
benefit both to pupils and teachers.
The curriculum is crowded and the
added month of school will enable the
work to be done more effectively and
easily" said a member of the board,
Monday.
The added months salary will in
crease the teachers yearly income and
will reduce the summer vacation per-
iod by one-third. Teachers receive no

Robbins Thinks II Acceptable.
Byram Robbins. counsel for the
Teachers Federation, said that he
does not know whether this Increase
will met with the recent demands Of
the teachers.
However. the federation merely ask
ed for a fair living wage. This In
crease added to the extra month S
salary will probably prove acceptable,
he said.
Following the presentation of the
straits to which teachers of the city,
county, and state and nation had been
reduced. some time ago, the local
teachers federation, decided to ask
the board for an increase.
After several meetings, the fedora
ton fixed a fiat increase of $500 as
being a just one, and through the at

Agreeable to Public.
Public sentiment has been generally
that something must be done to stop
the flow of teachers from the profess
sons into Others paying more, and to
reward the faithful ones who have
stuck to the profession through loyalty.
Many cities, towns, and counties of
the state have already taken such
action. and it is being taken wherever
the subject is presented.
"Individual increases on contracts
have not been figured yet said super

Il The gravest charges come from

bers Of the Hungarian nobility who
have persisted in remaining on their
estates are quartered half dozen
soldiers or policemen who practically
hold them prisoners. While they are.
able to operate their estates, they are
not permitted to receive visitors or

soldiers. Many instances are cited
where the head of the house has been
arrested and so harassed that he had

much after the manner of the Russian
