Realizing that the morale and eff
cheney of the teaching personnel is de-
pendent in a large measure upon salts
factory working conditions, the hide
pendent Party endorses the following

Of the teaching corps which viii compen-
safe for the rise in the cost Of living.
This, it is to be understood, includes
substitute teachers as well as those
under contract.
2. Full salary for every week in which
any teaching is done. This will elimi-
nate the practice Of partial pay which
now prevails the first week Of school in
September, at Thanksgiving, the week
in which Christmas vacation begins.
Easter Week and any similar week.
g. Fifteen days sick leave with pay
per school year cumulative for four
years.
4. Adequate leave with pay when
there is a death in a teachers family.

provides nine and one-half months OF
teaching and two weeks vacation-one
at Easter, n at Christmas-with pay.

ed. will o-onscientiously carry out the
policies above stated. They will fear
Iessly and honestly discharge their
duties as Independent public servants
