its defniteness and its practicability
startled the world and gave assurance

structors Of Normal Seniors

West Chester. Pa. Dec. d.
Teachers in the public schools of this
place. exclusive of the high school. faced
members Of the School Board last night
at meeting Of the latter at the high
school. and reiterated their demand for
the bonus claimed by them as instructors
of the members of the senior class Of
the State Normal School here. which
sum they had asked for q week ago
when it was learned that checks drawn
to their order and sent hero by the
State Department of Education were
supposed by n ruling Of the local School
Board to be turned over by them to the
school fund Of tho borough.
DR.. s. Leroy Barber. chairman Of
the school board. presided at the meet y
in.
A statement from the teachers was
presented by Miss Florence Hilton. who
propoundcd twelve questions to the
board. Her statement covered all phases
Of the dispute. The fact was pointed
out that the salaries were the same as
on former contracts and on bonus was
given for the instruction Of the Nor
NAL seniors. 1t was also called to
the attention OF the board that teach
srs in other schools acting as instruc-
tors receive from 5000 to S400 per
year additional over their contracts for
local work.
1--WE believe said Miss Hilton!
that the money has been going to the
Chool fund instead of to the teachers
through a misunderstanding of condi-
dcns, but we hope still TO gain our
point"
No decision was made by the board.

One is to develop q we'll informed
