PATRONS BACK Up
REQUEST ASKING
MORE TEACHERS

Independence. Or, May 26.-
Citizens of the Independence
school district, called in mass
meeting by the school board We'd
nesday evening, after a two-hour
debate in which many took part
recommended TO the board by a
three-to-one vote that they grant
the request OF the critic teachers
and employ four more teachers,
which will give the school one
teacher to grade. The meeting,
which was held at the training
school building, was presided over
by D. T. Fletcher, chairman Of the
board. Among the speakers were
President ]. s. Landers of the nor
NAL and Professor Thomas Gentle,
director OF the normal training
schools. 1t was shown that there
are 332 children in the eight
grades, making 1t necessary for
each teacher TO supervise the work
OF S3 pupils and two student
teachers, and that 1t is impossible
for one teacher to look after two
rooms properly. 1t was brought
out that the teachers have twice
az much work as the critics in the
Monmouth training school, al
though they receive the same pay.
The meeting was a spirited one,
but for the most part was free
from personal attacks. The op-
posing speakers made no sugges-
tions for solving the problems, but
raised the cry of high taxes.
