TEACHERS' SALARIES Mor
Goderich School Board Recognises the
Claims of the Teachers
e Clinton
Boys Home PRESIDENT OF CONFEREN. -
REV. W. H, GRAHAM IS NEW WILL HOW PICNIC HURON DEANERY HELD
The ,Goderich School,Board realizing LIEUT
me last Friday night from
that teachers cannot live on air` and
water, any more than other human be-
ings, decided to offer their teachers
without exception a bonus of $50
each, and also an advance of 10% of
this increased salary.
Thus a teacher, who formerly re-
ceived ra900 per annum, will now re-
ceive $900 and $50 and io% of this
$950, totalling $1045. This is a step
in the right direction, and if more
of these steps, and longer ones were
taken, the teachersomight come with-
in hailing distance of the point where
their salaries should be.
The cost of living has doubled since
the war began, while teachers' salaries
have advanced but slightly. Salaries
in alt•other walks in, life have increas-
ed greatly, Even section men on the
railroad now receive 53.20 for a six
hour day, Barbers are offered salaries
that to a teacher looks like a prince's
allowance, and this in spite of the fact
that they can learn this trade in 3 Or
4 months, while the teachers must
put in many years in hard study, and
spend much treasure in fitting himself
or herself, for ()tie of the noblest pro-
fessions in life—and one of the hard-
est also,
