"Average salaries of first class male teachers havedemeased $115.50 or l3 1-2 per cent in the past eight years." the president de- clared. Salaries in 2nd and 8rd, classes. both male and emalc had shown con ,. din decreases. Of the Provinces 6 rura teach- ers 503 were gettin a salary of Ifis than $600. "Tlh nk of it! Al- most 84 per cent of our rural teachers are paid the magnificent wage of a little over $11 per week." Mr MacDonald pointed out. any of these conditions may be said in part to have been caus- ed by the wider/pureed depression of recent years, but there are re- strimons on our teachers for which no such ready excuse can be found." the speaker continued.

"First we are charged with the responsibility of enforcing atten- dance and for the sins of indiffer- ent parents we are penalized by grim our already inadequate sai-
