Whereas, practically all of the

spirit of willingness and cooperation
IN attending, and participating in the
exercises of this conference therefore
1e it
Resolved, that we extend to our

ion for their untiring efforts put

= L;,,o onJ oil y,,o,,ohorc of tho =
aculty our appreciation of the kindly
nd open-hearted manner in which we t

lstitution in assisting to further its I
and extend the limits of its r
lfluence; a
To the Rotary Club, the Elks Club, t

le welfare and progress of our rural n

lat we manifest unity of spirit in O
,curing place and recognition as Of Il
GERS and committeeman in district le
I'd state teachers associations.
Resolved further, that we endorse n
e suggestion of our State Superin- F
dent that in future conferences the tx
me be heightened, and professional Il
ork introduced for the benefit of fl
unity superintendents. m
We are opposed to any general re- al
lction Of teachers salaries at this Ell
me. We feel that in view of the ir
ct that the professional require al
ents for teaching are being raised W
at it would be unfair and unwise at re
is time to reduce salaries. et
In regard to the policy of retrench-
ent which seems to be the tendency w
present among some school boards, W
} feel to condemn any action which n,
s for it's purpose the permanent e,
mination of any departments which ia
We been established at great cost hi
d effort. w
