Salary.
Boards To
Month
County Supeilntsndent Conley has
received the following letter from
J. H. Ackerman, Supt. .of public in
struction, relating to the six months
school law:
"A number of letters have come
to this department asking whether
or not school boards are compelled
by the Hawley Act to pay teachers
$50 a month. If your school officer.
have this wrong Impression, will you
please do what y3a can to correct it.
"This law provides that each district
must have at kasi. six months of
school each year; it also provides
that each district must have a school
fund of at least $300 each year; but. j,
it says nothing about teachers' sal-'
arles. If a school board can secure !
a teacher for less than $50 per month
the district' can have a longer term j
than six months. The provision for!
a fund of $390 was Included In the
hill an tn. rnnVo If nnanlhla fnr !
each district to have the required six
months school.
"The new eJl lan of the school
U ws. will be ready for distribution
about May 15. The legislature pro
vides enough to furnish each school
officer with one copy."
