PAY BOOSTS
FOR TEACHERS
DISCUSSED
Marysville Board Sees
Need For 1t But
Delays Action For While


the salary increases for teachers in
! the Marysville schools featured the
regular meeting of the Board of
Education in the school building,
Monday night.
! Use of the Junior high school
gym for a youth center again
next summer, use of the Senior
high gym for a d. A. r. dance, and
"a vocational agriculture training
program for the veteran-farmers
were also brought up.
| L. G. Brubaker, clerk of the
board, said special meeting will
probably be held some time this
month to work out salary Sched-
ules, with increases expected about
the first of the year.
Meeting Lasts Late
No definite action was taken on
Monday because all the business
transacted kept the Board until
long after midnight, and because
Board members are anxious to see
ljust how they come out financially
in 1916 before making any definite
commitments.
The members did agree, howeV-
er, that salary increases are war
ranted and should be forthcoming
as soon as possible.
Sixteen of the teachers and
Supt. H. c. Carr met with the
Board to discuss the need for sal
rry increases.
The teachers themselves talked
in terms of a salary schedule, in
which each would have a certain
base pay and fixed annual-increases
based upon experience and train
ing, plus the number of extra-cur-
ricular programs handled.
Carr's Recommendations
Supt. Carr, however, recon-
mended a program of flat increas-
es for each teacher, which would
average nearly II per cent for the
entire faculty. Each teacher. would
not receive the same praphgtion-
late increase under Mr.. CarTss plan
| but each would receive some ad-
ditional pay.
1t was the Boards opinion that
some such plan aSethe superinten-
dent recommended would probably
fit the Marysville school situation
better than any other, and the
Board members will probably pro-
ceed along these lines.
The extra one-mill levy approved
by the voters last week will be the
principal source of revenue to give
| the teachers their deserved in
crease, since it is estimated it will
provide between $4,000 and $500
additional for the schools.
ID. A. II. Wants Dances
Mrs. D. G.. Scott and Mrs. c. A.
Hopes represented the Daughters
of the American Revolution in re-
questing the use of the gymnasium
for the annual girls invitation
Christmas dance. There was con-
siderable discussion, and motion
approving the request was present
ed but lost for the want of a sec
ond. The matter was therefore ta-
bled until later meeting.
| Following considerable abuse to
| the gymnasium floor through pub
| lie dances held a few years ago,
the Board, in 1914, adopted a res
olution prohibiting the use of the
gym for public dances. There was
some question in the members
minds as to whether or not this
| resolution should be rescinded or
relaxed.
Mrs. Beriah Edwards requested
the use of the Junior high gymnas-
ium for a Youth Center, as it was
last summer. The Board agreed to
this, with exactly the same pro-
visions as to its care as were in eff
feet this year. A request by Mrs.
/ Edwards for use of the Senior high
auditorium to show educational
movies on Sunday evenings, next
summer, was denied.
Vet Program Approved
| The veterans agriculture train
ing program, in effect in many O.
hio schools now, including Rich
wood and Darby, but cannot be put
into effect until a qualified teacher
is obtained, the Board was inform
ed.
Under tbs program, part of the
G.. l. biff of rights, local schools
provide trained instructors to help
get World War II veterans who so
desire it, started in farming. Each
veteran gets 200 hours of class
room training and 100 hours in the
field, per year. There must be at
least 10 applicants before the pro-
gram can be starter, and not more
than 25 per instructor. The local
school is reimbursed by the Fed
eral government for cost of the
program.
Supt. Carr was instructed by the
Board to have teh furnace room
doors in the Junior high school
building covered with metal n or
der to meet the state fre code.
