School Notes
BY J.. B. Coburn
Supt. Grant Parish Schools

To those who think our Grant
parish teachers are paid too high
| submit the following figures:
Average for men State, 81,
375 per year.
Average for men Grant, ST.
1877. 90 per year.
Average for women State,
1891. 90 per year.
Average for women Grant,
$4,000.
The state regulations are very
stringent now as compared with
last year. This makes a certain
class of teachers harder to OBJ
tain and consequently higher in
price.

the late war have been made In vain
IF Maine may continue to have
the benefit of the experience and prac-
teal knowledge of Hon. John A. Pc
