The school board held a meeting
Monday evening at which most of the
| time was used in the discussion OF
salaries in which, if the present opin-
ion prevails, there will be sizeable
increase. 1t is understood that the
increase as it now stands will increase
the teachers in the high school nearly
So 900 as body, major portion of
which will go to few teachers, while
the increase at the Union and primary
buildings will amount to but little.
This is over the amount granted to the
teachers when they were elected some
weeks since. Some of the teachers in
the high school, who recently resigned,
are reconsidering the matter, it is stat
ed. The Union school teachers are
complaining of the mfairness in the
matter and it would not be surprising
ii they took similar action TO that
which the high school teachers recently
took to get desired increase in sal
airy.
