People of Italy are coming back to

SCHOOL BOARD WILL
EC0N0MIzE-bENTLEy;
NO SALARY DECREASE

Strict economy in public school gov
eminent Is promised by the local
school board for the coming school
year, according to J. H. Bentley, SUI
perintendent of the Richmond public
schools. Mr.. Bentley said Tuesday
that the board discussed the matter of
finances at its meeting at 4 o'clock
Monday afternoon. and that the fore
going decision was. reached.
Teachers salaries will remain ap-
proximately at their present figure in
nearly all cases, Mr.. Bentley said. No
effort will be made to increase or de-
crease them.
All expenditures are to be carefully
considered. There will be no addi-
tions to school departments unless
imperative conditions arise. such as
an unusual influx of students, which
would necessitate added provisions
for their care. The large enrolment
in the high school and Garfield Junior
high school this year has made more
teachers necessary than formerly.
Students Increasing
For each 80 or 40 additional stu
dents to a school, Mr.. Bentley said,
there must be one new teacher. Meth
er high school nor Garfield has ever
provided for as many students as they
have during this closing school year.
Over 1000 students have been attend
ing the high school, while over 700
are enrolled in the junior high school.
Superintendent Bentley spent a
great part of last summer securing
teachers for the local schools. This
year there are % vacancies to fill
Competent instructors are scarce and
comp etition for their services keen.

He described his visit to the battle
field of Verdun, picturing it as one
vast field of desolation as far as the
eye could see.
After looking over this I felt that

that caused all this desolation should
