I In 192d the Duncan Commission met in Charlottetown m inquire into Mai-i- tims claims. and on that occasion the Premier o! the province made recom- mendations to the commission on bo- lf of the teachers and of education. ubsequently $125,000 was granted as so increase in subsidy. and in the re- of the Commission, among the services mentioned as requiring addi- tioaal ﬁnancial assistance, education waaincluded. Yet no part oi this grant was expended on increasing the salar- ies of the teachers.

In response to the government's re- quest that we present a definite recom- hleridatiin re increase in teachers’ sal- aries, the following tentative schedule of increases based on the statutory grants was submitted:

, Initial increase 10%: ma um amount oi increase which the govem- bient would have to pay to any one teacher (First class male) would be

--.Perlodic increases as follows :

At the expiration of two years, in- ‘crease 20%; maximum increase to any teacher $100.

At the end of five years teaching, increase 00%; maximum increase to any teacher $300.
