tricts Nos. and s. think 1t would
make for efficiency. one tning also
that l would like to see would be an
increase in the wages of the school
teachers. Some OF them that are
getting SIS a month now are paying
about $50 a month for bed and board.
Most of them get less than day Ia
borer yet they get paid for only nine
months and are expected to go to
school themselves the other three
months, paying all their expenses. No
wonder It IS hard to get teachers. The
small pay that they have been getting
is forcing those who stay in the pro-
fession to organize and fight the wage
question out collectively. | think that
il school boards do not want their
teachers organized they had better
look to the matter OF giving them bet
ter wages right away

hotel and rooming accommodations in
Canon City is going to be a serious

they are going to do next summer
when the demand is always increased
fully 100 per cent. is more than ! can
figure out. II the present condition
prevails very much longer a large,
nue. hotel will become a necessity. In
fact some men have already oeen
making tentative plans for a s35o.0o0
