During the last year, he
said, $50 teachers have been
selected for career-recognition
pay from a total of 384 instruc-
tors who were eligible.
The 81 teachers who did not
receive the extra money, he
explained, included some who
would not accept appointment
to career recognition and
others who Withdrew their
applications prior to decision
on their cases.
School officials declined to
say exactly how many Of these
81 teachers actually had been
turned down.
DR.. Whittier's proposed ex-
tension of the career-recogni-
ton system. if approved by the
county school board, would go
into effect for the 1923
school year rather than next
year.
The proposed budget includes
substantial pay increases for

Meanwhile, the Montgomery
