STAMFORD HAS BAD SHORTAGE
 OF TEACHERS
Expect Board of Finance to Take Action As to
 Salaries
(Special to The Times.l

Stratford, Feb. 28-Owing to a number of the teachers of the Strat- ford High school having been i'll with the grip during the past few weeks the school has been somewhat crip- pied for teachers and in some cases the classes have been compelled to defer their studies until the teachers were able to resume their duties. One of the teachers has recently re- signed her position because of having been offered a similar position which she accepted at a much larger sal ary in a Nv Jersey city and it is reported that others will follow un- less the teachers salaries are sub- stantially increased which, according to a recent communication received by the school board from the board of finance cannot be done for this term at least without the laying of a special tax to cover the increases This is not thought likely to be done and the teachers will probably have
 to wait until the next session of the board of finance when it is expected this board will then consider favor ably increasing the teachers salar-
 ies.
