B. W. Robertson wrote stating that with the object of trying to improve the writing in the schools in the city, { he and Hon. William Harty would give each as prizes to be given before summer holidays. Mr. Robertson shed. that a committee be appointed 0 make arrangements, with a com- {mittee from the separate schools. The matter was referred to the manage- ment committee, There was a short discussion on the matter of unsatisfactory writing and spelling by the pupils of the schools. This matter will be discussed more fully later, when Inspector Kidd re- ports the conditions that exist. Increase Fox Teachers. the reason why the committee recommended increases to the pablic school teachers, Prof. Marshall said that Kingston had almost the lowest "minimum sal- ary of any place of its size in On- tario, The maximum salary of other places was also higher, it was deemed only right to make the mini- mum salary $325 and the maximum $600. To equalize matters, it was de- {cided to reduce the yearly increase from 850 to $25. The minimum change | would benefit thiee teachers and the | maximum sixteen. The increase would [be $1,500 more than last year. Mr. Thompsan said it was injudici- ous to increhse the teachers' salaries, until 'it was seen just how the city stood financially. This was a very critical year in the history of King- ston as far as its finances were con- cerned. Mr or { : "rh prices & Phone 90. od T. F.

Mr. Meek pointed out that the King: ston salaries were ridiculously low. With all the desire to economize, he couldnt help seeing that the teachers must be paid more money.
