TEACHERS ONLY"

The talk Up in Thompsonville is all about the action Of the school board in deciding 10 give preference to local applicants on the teaching staff of the public schools What the plan amounts 10 is that teachers liv- ing elsewhere will be busted from the staff
 T. is curious to note what reasons are given for the action According to one educator, d teacher IS more than mere instructor;" she is social asset to the community and should be expected to take part in its activities Teachers in Thompson vile. who have been committing to and rom Springfield will have 10 tak- up residence in the smaller town or get q job elsewhere.
 IT such q plan We're generally adopted in the Conrecticut towns it ould play hob with the teaching profession generally. Towns are so close together that 1t IS very com mon indeed for teachers 10 live elst,- where, The same holds good for other salarisd workers, Of course: but somehow prlyate employers are not st.s particular as some school boards. The private employer usual Iy does not care 4 snap of the finger where his help lives so long as they arrive and depart from ofice or fac tory on time.
 Another point brought out ill the Thompronville matter has to do with mounting school costs. which hap pens 10 De q burning question al most everywhere. One of he school board educators pointed out that ap- otoNlmatrly half the expenses Of the town are paid out for the schools how familiar that sounds,--at an average cost Of s7o per pupil This cost
 has steadily mounted 4t ar alarming rate he argued. the total Har.ng advanced about g.. GOO in l22S and similar amount this year This h. attributed 10 the fact tha, fe" teachers have resigned and that the sliding scale Of wagrs as fore d the extra salary expen.-."
 That, in offect, explains the in. creasing school costs almost every where. The sliding scale Of salaries naturally adds to tn" cost 0: opera ation every year, until the maximum Is reached for all the teachers something that inevitably would come in the event Of few resigna- tions. This is the system almost uni NefsdIIN adopt"I and Is considered as just 70 the teachers.
 What We ar" most interested in however Is th" fact that a small town such as ThompsonviIl- also spends half its money for the up- keep of the schools--somethin ot which Mayor Paoue esa rouplair..J of hei"abnuts after figuring tf, capi tai costs in with the cost of opeI. ,uon.
