eight months of the yeir.
The following letter from Mr. Wallace
to L. N. Hines, state superintendent of
public Instruction, gives an example of
the new salaries that teachers may re
ceive over the state, if the Putnam county
man's action Is followed by other super
intendents :
The Putnam county hoard of educa
tion, at tbelr regular meeting on the
first Monday In August, adopted a mini
mum term of eight months for all ele
mentary schools in Putnam county.
Acting under the provisions of house
bill No. 553, which provides that no
teacher shall receive less than SBOO for
the school year and that exemption
teachers shall receive not less than their
general average times 614 c, the follow
ing salary schedule for elementary teach
ers was adopted:
That hereafter the dally wages of ele
mentary school teachers shall not be
less than an amount determined by mul
tiplying the general average of class “A"
teachers by s>4c; class “B” teachers,
3%c: class “C” teachers, 6c; class "D”
teachers, and exemption teachers,
614 c.
Provided, further, that 2 per cent shall

be added to the general average of all
teachers who attend the five days of
county institute.
The minimum salary for teachers,
based upon the term of eight monthfc,
Is as follows:
Class “A” $803.85
Class “B” 888.72
Class “C” 977.76
Class “D” 1,023.12
Exemption 1,06g.48
This bill will do more for the educa
tional welfare of the school children of
Putnam county than any legislation
previously enacted.

Burglars entered the Globe Clothing
