MORE AIBOIIIT THE SALARIES
To 'the Editor The Seaforth News
Dear Sir; -1I have heard consider-
able about the :teachers' salaries being
too high lately, but the other day I
noticed a letter to the London Free
Press which contended that teaching
is the poorest paid al any of the pro-
fessions, disgracefully poor paid, In
fact. If this he true, what • is the
remedy
Su'ppo'sing, for thesake of argu-
ment, we double the 'present salaries
at our Collegiate Institute : 'let the
teachers receive up to nearly '$8,000 a
year each, aucl the total salary bill for
the school will the around .' $4,0,f100 a.
year,
Now •then. Most other professional
men must collect their fees or income
for themselves, instead of having' it
collected, frohn the taxpayers- and
handed to them; so, met teachers go on
the same basis and collect their s'al'ar-
ies, so much from each indiv'idu'al tax-
payer. For example, the Seaforth
teachers each would hill everytaxpay-
er in Seafooth, Tuekersnaetlt and Mc-
lKitlop for a stated sum, amounting to
about $35 a year'` for each ratepayer.
(To test ;their popularity alter. collect-
ing their salaries, I would propose the
teachers be appoinited by public elec-
tion).
Moreover, to be like other profes-
sional people, they could own or lease
their place of business, namely, the
ac'h'oal building, pay taxes, ; furl, janit-
in•g, supplies, depreciation, etc.
Who can say that is not afair pro-
posal a
Yours truly,
•.PRO BOINAO.

COUNTY RE,GI'STRAIR PASSES.
Mr. William Coats, registrar for the
County of Huron, passed away in his
75'th year, at his home in ,Goderich on

of ill-llealllth. ;He 'had ;been tonfined
to his home the past six ;weeks. Two
gr'and'sons who lived with lhint'survive,;
Itis wife and daughter hating ,prede-
ceased him. He was a resident of
(Clinton previous to his appointment.
The funeral will be held on Thursday
afiternnon,
The position of registrar which Mr,
Coats 'held,.for thirty years ' was 'a.
storm centre in county politics at the,
;beginning .of this ;century. Mr. 'Coats
firstapplied for the ,position foillow-
;ing the death of •Registrar A. L. Gib-
son in 1899 to IHon:,,'A. S. IHardy, and
had nuumdtous influential supip!eters,
but he was disa;ppoihted, 'In 1902 he
was offered the postnaastership at
Clinton, but declined. The satire year
the registrarship was .vacant and once
more he apiplied,receiving the ap-
pointment under the government .of
Hon. G •W.Ross. 'Upon the acceselon'
to power olf ;the- Whitney government
its 1905 it looked for a time as if' Mr.
Coats 'would "walk the plahtk," as
Dr. Rollins of Exeter was nominated'
for the pb'sitioin. Whether, -as was in-
timated in the 'heat of battle, threats
of retaliation upon : !C:onservaitives
1oldiuvgpositions under the Laurier
government had effect, or whether it.
was Mr. Coats' ability in fulfilling the
asition acceptably to all, at any rate
he weathered the • s'toi~tirs and for o
•
thirty years graced the office with
credit to himself and the county.
ill is understood that his successor
eviii be Mr. A, H. Neeb of Dashwood,,
former Warden off 'I-ltiron ,county.
