FOURTH CELEBRATION HELD Elaborate List of Prises Were Glren AU Who Hake Saeceasfnl Com petltioa la Game Flared. frting the board of education to ln urua the salaries of the grade teachers. In the : public schools. Jay Laverty. a commission man and former president of the school board, said that the men who feed ; hogs and tend cattle at the stock yards are paid twice a . much s the teachers in the public scaoois. Mr. Lav erty paid a high compliment to the schools of the city and to the economic policy of the present board. Rev. Dr. Wheeler uoted figures and pleaded with the board to take into consideration the tact that the salaries of the teachers had not; been raised in nine years. City Attorney H. C Murphy, commenting on the arguments made by Dr. 'Wheeler and Jay Laverty, insisted that It was poor public policy that dictated a nig gardly practice in remunerating the men and women who train and educate the future citizens of the town. He said it was a shame to think that people paid more for tending cattle and hogs than for educating the men and women of tomornow. . . The strong representation made by the three speakers last night was the out come of a movement for increasing the salaries of the, grade teachers from the present standard to a scale with $50 as the minimum and S5 as the maximum per month. A petition signed by over 660 tax payers urging the increase of salary was presented by Dr. Wheeler. Presi dent .of the School Board E. R. Leigh, explained to the committee that under the rules of the board no action eould be taken on the petition until a later date,' It is probable that some measure locking to an Increase of teachers' salaries will be made by the present board. It was remarked by a number of teachers that the men who went to the front before -the board were all repub licans and that the board itself was con trolled by a republican majority.
