The salaries of school teachers has been a. question of much interest to the public. The raising of salaries, the teachers •claim, has not kept pace with the advance in prices in other lines. A federation of teach- ers was formed with a view to ob- taining what they considered fair salaries. The salaries recommended by the Federation are as follows: 1. Rural . teachers and assistants in Urban schools: 1st year (interim) at least $800; 2nd. year at least 8900; 3rd year (permanent) at least $1,000. 2. Principals of two to four room schools: 1st year (as principal) at least 51,200; 2nd year at least 51,300; 3rd year at least 51,400.. 3. Principal of schools of more than four rooms: 1st year (as prin- cipal) at least 51,600; 2nd year, at least $1,700; 3rd year, at least 51,800 In making the application for membership in the federation, the teacher promises to support the Fed- eration and to refuse to take the place of any teacher who has lost her position because of her refusal t6 ac- cept a salary lower than the pre- scribed schedule.
