vacation.
Most rural schools are now closed
for Easter vacation and will reopen
on Monday, April ID. State exams
occur on May 81, June and 2. Most
school picnics will be or should be
held on Friday, June 8.
Salary Trends.
AS was explained before, teachers
trained for or experienced in rural
school work are scarce. Other Min
nesota counties feel this more than
Pine. Some counties report minimum
rural salaries at $50. Some counties
show schedules of $50 to 500 per
month for rural teachers. Offers
have come from neighboring counties
to our inexperienced Hinckley teach
er training department class of 1888
at $50 to $40 per month. We now
have less than 20 trained rural teach
ers for more than 25 rural vacancies
Miss Evelyn Berry, district 80, has
signed a contract in district 20, Chi
sage county for $85 per month. Mr..
Schroeder of Hinckley, goes to Pine
county district sc for $85 per month
Miss Janet Kargas moves from dis
trict "a to district 48 at an increase
of S25 per month. With one year of
experience she will now receive SIS
per month. Miss Harriet Basset moves
from district 80 down to district SO
for SIS per month. This will be her
third year. Miss Carmen Kelley was
increased from $50 to SIS per month
in district No. 7. Most other teach
ers report five to ten dollars per
month increases. Miss Edna Schaefer
has been offered S85 per month to
return from college to her old posi-
ton in the primary grades at Stur-
geon Lake, district 40. Miss Lucille
MeiXner was elected for the Milburn
accredited one-room school district
33 at $50 per month. $50 around
and around it goes, and where it stops
no one knows"
Building Projects.
The $1,000 WPA schoolhouse for
district 81 west of Sturgeon Lake, is
nearly completed. 1t is an excellent
job at a cost of less than $4,000 to
the school district.
We understand that the project for
Windemere school, district lie, has
been approved and will be started
soon. Since the fire last fall, Miss
Alyce TECHS school has been held in
the Windemere M. E. church building.
District 112 has submitted a project
for much needed building but dis
trict "A voted their proposed project
down. With net income tax aids to
cover bonds and interest, and with
Federal WPA pump printing" it
seems to be wise business sense to
build now where needed School
building projects are much more wor-
thy than some projects approved in
the past. Pine county needs many
more new schools. 1t may not be too
late yet.
Committees from Sturgeon Lake,
Bruno and Willow River met with the
State Executive council Monday,
April IL, at the Governors office in
the interest of getting special financial
help from the state to assist in spon-
soring worthy WPA school building
projects that are very much needed.
