and desiring to do something for phy! sicaI recreation, I accepted the $75 per, month salary.
 At once, I Miss Gross) am inform ed that the teacher at the Gatlin ranch had no certificate for teaching but would receive the same salary as I Miss Gross) received per mo, and I Miss Gross) would have to hand in to the county School Supt. the report of these -(Stacy and Gatlin) schools as one, and as being Dist. No. s. The voucher would be made out for $150.00 in my Miss Gross) name and I Miss Gross) would have to pay the >Gatlin teacher her s75.0O out of this amount.
 At the Stacy school were: Margu- rita Stacy, s; Jesse Stacy 14 age; Fay Stacy II; Berl Stacy 5, July 1920.
 At the .Gatlin school were: Lee Gatlin, IA age; Velma Gatlin II; Lola Gatlin 8; Laurence Gathn G.; Evelyn Gatlin 4-5 Jan. 1921.
 Mrs. Alma Dees is the teacher at the Gatlin ranch with only an Sth grade education which makes it i'm possible for her to receive a Teachers Certificate as the preparation would be too great.
 At the end of the first month I in formed the County School Supt with regard to. the state of affairs as I objected to have another teacher draw her salary thru my certificate (Frst Grade) and also hold her posi- tion because it was not according to Arizona school laws.
 Mrs. Stacy was dissatisfied as to housework and for doing it $12.5O was allowed. I saw from the voucher that the state was paying me that sum for working for MT. Stacy, caus ing the state to pay me for doing the house work and teaching. I informed the Co. Supt. and this is what she re- plies: 50 far as I am concerned, you are to receive s75.OO, or half of the salary for teaching. Whatever ar engagements you make with MT. Stacy about room and board is something outside of the school work" Just read again what the arrangement was regarding the salary question: room and board are given with the salary
 The County Supt. (Mrs. Billingsley) further writes: "We have at present six uncertified teachers in this coun. ty drawing salaries on a temporary certificate"
 In the meantime having other busi. ness with the State Supt, MT Case made inquiries regarding the sal ary question and his (Mr. Case's) re- ply was that the $75.00 was to be my Miss Gross) salary per month, fol teaching.
 I Miss Gross) taught school and | did house work for weeks and re- ceived $75.00 for the first month. Tne second month taugh tschool and did no house work and received $7500 and at the end of the second month , I, Miss Gross, came down to Clifton and never went back to the rancT again.
