TEACHERS PRESENTED
WITH PAY CUT PLAN
A program of retrenchment will apply to the Brookville city school system and a saving of several hundred dollars in salaries will be affected when the fall school term opens.
The school board delivered contracts to the teachers last week and a salary cut o from 6 to 10 percent was included in each of the high school teachers' contracts.
Salaries of the grade teachers remain the same, as they were paid the minimum salary last year and could not be reduced.
In addition to the salary cuts, it was announced that the school board will lessen the number of high school teachers by at least one.
The action of the school board to presenting contracts calling for salary reductions is in line with similar steps taken in other surrounding cities in reducing operating expenses.
OVER-SUPPLY
There is an over-supply of teachers, especially high school teachers. Too many parents are making the mistake of spending a small fortune on a boy or girl's education only to find no position open when graduation day comes.
It takes only two years to prepare for an elementary licenses, and your chances to get a job in this county are much better.
Schools want experienced high school teachers. It is almost impossible for a mere boy or girl to get a high school job.
Note: "Mere" is an interesting term.
