been receiving 1925 per month and
more for their services. and some OF

have believed there should be a reduc.
ton In these salaries. However. ii
teachers have been charged as high as
$40 and $50 per month for room and

taken the stand hat the present sal
aries are not too high. and that il
first class teachers are to be retained
they will have to be paid first class
salaries. The school officers and

standing of the schools, which have
been paying good salaries to gooi
teachers.
