Robert Robins, a vocal music in structor and member of the REA committee, said that adoption of the schedule as presented would "encourage thi career teacher" to remain in the district. He said the proposed increments would be only "reimbursement" for teachers who are required to attend summer school. Walton asked Deller how the schedule could be put into opera tion and still not increase costs. The superintendent answered that the district could increase teacher loads in larger schools, cut supervisory personnel or delete the positions of junior high school vice principals. Earlier, Deller had shown t h e board that 94 per cent of the first class school districts in Oregon last year granted salary increases. Because of that. Roseburg's salary schedule dropped behind many oth ers in the state. Two years a-:o. Roseburg was high up on the list of 128 first-class districts. !
