Local Teachers.
Believing that local talent is as
good as any, this office has encour-
aged the rural and independent school
boards of Pine county to fill vacancies
with candidates who reside in Pine
county. Practically all of our rural
schools and some of our independent
schools have followed this suggestion.
Yet, there is room for improvement
along this line as expressed by the
following paragraph from a recent
letter from one of our fully qualified
and experienced local rural teachers:
QUOTE think the attitude of the
graded schools of Pine county towards
hiring Pine county teachers is in
general very unfortunate Other
counties are doing much more in
this way for their own resident teach
ers."
1t is interesting to note that at
least one of our graded schools (Wil-
low River) has an entire elementary
school faculty made up of Pine coun-
ty residents.
Legislation.
Latest reports show that the state
senate is stubbornly refusing to al
low the distribution of the net in
come tax returns so as to guarantee
the payment of state aids in full.
1t seems that the new net income
tax laws will now be passed but, as
the Senate distribution plan now
stands, it will not cover state aids
in full. The pro rating will be
practically the same. This will not
help our Pine county schools except
for a little more direct aid on the
basis of those listed on the census.
Thus, local "state aid deficiency"
levies cannot be reduced unless the
legislature will appropriate for
schools (from various sourceS) total
of over 100000. This, the major
ity of the Senators have also refused
to do. They seem to insist that
rural counties with small incomes
like Pine county should pay more
than their proportionate share of the
education of future citizens of the
state Local taxes in counties like
Pine cannot stand it because the in
come from production is low in most
of our school districts. It appears
that our fight for payment of state
aids in full is again practically lost.
