; Poor Living Conditions.
, Furthermore, in many towns, teach-

several teachers were forced last year
to get their meals in the domestic

lot 840, must be deducted for the teach-
retirement, leaving the teacher’s
ctual income less than 815 per week.
,With board at $9 per week, a conserva-
ytive figure, this is not even a-mere sub-
sistence salary. Such a salary is made
iposslble because in many cases the
‘teachers live at home, but there is no
ducement for a beginner: and indus-
