Must Increase Salaries
is on a l'intto schools nvm loso n
numbor of efficient teachors this year,
loses them becauso tho salaries paid
by other towns In North Platto's class
aro higher. Ono of tho teachers of tho
past year who received S70, goes to
J Alllnnco in a similar position nt a sal
ary of S92.50; another who received
$75 goes to another town to tako tho
samo work at $90; a formor North
Matto teacher now nt Groat Falls,
Mont., is paid moro than doublo the
salary reoelved by hor sister who
teaches In tho local schools. If we
iro to havo olflclcnt teachers; If wo
oxpoct good work from our teachers;
twjo must pay larger salaries, nnd to do
this we must Increase tho school levy.
Last year.our levy was thlrty-llvo mills
and tho proceeds ot that lovy barely
paid tho opprnllng oxponsos of the
schools, wnilo believing mat taxes
should bo kept as low as posslblo, yot
wo consldor It absolutely necessary
that an increased levy bo mado this
year In order that tho offlcloncy of our
teaching corps bo maintained and that
tho Btandnrd of tho Bchools bo not low
