Urge‘ Reduction In Salaries Of Teachers

TORONTO, Ont., Mar. 28. -(By the Canadian Press) - Reduction in the standard minimum salaries paid to teachers from $1,000 to $800 was urged in several resolu- tions presented to the trustees‘ and ratepayers‘ department dur- ing the convention of the Ontario Educational Association which op- ened here today. The resolu- tions which originated in several ratepayers‘ associations in this Province, l commend that the re- duction in public school teachers’ standards of remuneration should be accompanied by a 20 percent reduction in the salaries of High School teachers.

Considerable opposition to the requirement of the department of Education that after four years‘ teaching teachers must return to the Normal School for another year, was expressed in several suggested resolutions. Summer re- fresher courses are proposed as a substitute.
