Additional Teacher Necessary

Additional Teacher Necessary
The large enrolment in our
schools will make necessary the ad-
dition of at least one more teacher
In the grade schools. One OF the
fifth grade rooms now has SO pupils
and the fourth grade a.. The ideal
number for one room is 80 and
should never exceed SO. The hieh
school faculty will probably be re-
arranged so that one teacher will
give all her time to study-hall and
library work, leaving the others en-
tirely free to devote all their time
to class work.
We have Just learned thas ontario
High School has been approved for
Federal and State Aid under the
Smith-Hughes Law, for the estab-
fishing OF a new department OF vo-
cational domestic science and art.
Under the Federal plan we will be
refunded two thirds the salaries
paid our domestic science teachers.
II the board finally decided to adopt
the new plan, we will have one
teacher on full time as the head of
the department and another on half
time as assistant. Our part OF the
salaries OF these two teachers VIII
be considerably less than is now be-
ing paid TO one teacher. Our Agri-
culture department Is ALREADY or
ganized under this act. We will re-
ceive approximately $4,000 this
year TO pay two thirds the salary
of our instructor.
