The Commission also points that IAN increase of 40

School Levy
Continued From Page One)

A teacher with less than three
years of college work and no ex-
perience, would receive a starting
salary Of $2600. For each year ex-
perience a $100 increment could
be earned until this teacher earn
ed maximum salary of $500.
A teacher with three years col
lege work but not enough work to
to obtain a college degree would
receive a starting salary of $2S00
and over an eleven year period
would reach a maximum salary
of $1,000.
"A teacher that has earned a
four year college degree would re-
ceive a starting salary of $4,000
and over an eleven year period
would reach a maximum salary of
$410o.
A teacher that possesses a col
lege degree and has earned twenty
or more graduate hours of credit,
but not enough for a masters De-
gree, would receive a minimum
salary of $500 and a maximum
salary of $4310.
A teacher that has completed
work for a Masters Degree would
receive minimum salary of $4,000
and a maximum salary of $4520.
Recommendations were made by
the teachers salary committee that
annual increases in salary shall not
be considered automatic after the
first five years of the schedule;
but would be granted only to those
members of the teaching staff who
are rendering satisfactory service
and who evidence continuous pro-
fessional growth. Any teacher not
meeting the foregoing criteria will
be placed one step back on the
schedule each year for a maximum
of four years. The teacher would
be warned before March 1st that
action is impending. This should
afford an opportunity for the
teacher to remedy the situation
by making corrective measures
before final recommendation is
made by the Superintendent of
Schools in June.
During each five years service,
each teacher must show evidence
of having satisfactorily completed
six semester hours of university or
college credit. This may be met
through extension, correspondence,
or workshops conducted by rec
ognized college or by resident
training. Failure to complete this
requirement will move any teacher
back one step on the salary sche-
dule for each year up to four that
the teacher does not NEE t
the regulation. When such work is
completed, the teacher will then
progress year by year on the sal
airy schedule to the maximum. The
aforementioned periods will start
January 1, 1855, provided the new
salary schedule becomes effective
as a result of the passage of the
four mill tax levy in November.

Mayor Presented
With Safety Plan

A manual for organizing a city
wide pedestrian protection pro-
gram was presented to the mayor
of London today by Russell H.
Campbell, General Manager of the
Columbus Automobile Club.
The booklet lis published by the
Traffic Engineering and Safety
Department of the American Auto
mobile Association and is being
distributed by the Columbus Auto
mobile Club, an affiliate of the
AAA.
Mr.. Campbell said the bare fact
that more than half of the people
who are killed in city traffic ac-
cidents are pedestrians is all that
needs be known to realize the i'm
portance of organizing the facili-
lies of the community for pede-
strian protection.
