A letter written by a rural sehool teacher to the Midland Free Press is interesting. because it tells someâ€" thing of the expenses that a teacher has and proves pretty certainly thai $500 a year is not sufficient salary. That is the amount the writer of the letter was getting and may be rcâ€" zarded as the usual m.nimum _ in many parts of Ontario. Seymour, David ... Yearle. G. ....... 1 Vollett, Grace _.... Wallace, Kay ..... Wanamaker, M. .. : Yaung, Gladys .... C Moffat, Maryâ€"Botany First of all, three p» cent. is deâ€" ducted for the superannuation fund before the teacher gets her pay. She then receives $485 a year. She works for ten months receiving $48.50 a month. _ Out of that she pays $20 a mon*b for board; $1 a month for papers needed for extension courses; $* bus fare; newspapers, magazines, $1; in @:rance $4; clothes, etc. $10. Tins leaves $10.50 for all purposes. Home c :t «may be needed to help wut at home but very little is availabâ€" le for that or any other purpose, beâ€" canse the teacher must take a sumâ€" mor course under certain . circumâ€" stances. The summer course requires a fee of $10; text books, $5; examinâ€" ation fees, $2; and board, which is not less than $7 a week in the cities, EXPENESES EAT UP THE $500 EXHIBITION SPECIALS INCLYUDES EXHIBITION ADMISSION AvD COACH TRANSFER To AND FROM TERMINAL INSIDE THE GROUNDS Goog returning until September 12th LEAVE DURHKHAM LEAVE TORONTO 8.31 am. 6.0@2 p.m. 8..0 a.m., (a) 2.30 p.m., (b) 6.15 p.m. (a)â€"except Sun. & Hol.; (b)â€"Sun .& Hol. only.

Aig How any girl can save enough out of that $105 a year not accounted for by bare necessitics is more than we can figure, but apparently they are expected to ds so. _ This teacher exâ€" pla.ns that after four years‘ teaching time on her interim certificate, the teacher must pass two subjects at the university to excend ner teaching time. She must have eight subjects for a second . class certifiâ€" cate, then two more yeais spent in summer schocl courses. It is obvious that a girl clerking in a store at $10 a week is far better off than the teacher at $500 a year, and she hasâ€" n‘t had to spend money on an expeiâ€" sive education either.â€"Fergus Newsâ€" Record . besides other city expenses such as car fare. An important business change took place in Meaford, when Cleland Bros Hardware passed into possession of Messrs.

Den‘t bother mentioning in the story of an Institute, W. M. S., lodge or similar periodic gathering, that the minutes were read and confirmâ€" ed. Everybody takes it for granted. If the minutes were NOT confirmed for some reason, that might be news. 2. Similarly, it isn‘t necessary to say "The meeting adjourned." Everyâ€" body knows it must have adjourned or it would be going on yet. (These two things would stamp you as an "amateur" if you applied for a job on a big city paper). 3. Don‘t say "Hymn _ 541 . was sung." or "Luke 6:6" was read. A mo.:ont‘s thought will show the reaâ€" son why. Who knows what hymn 54i is about ? Who is going to get a hymn bock and look it up ? Three to one, the reader belongs to some othâ€" er denomination anyway and hasn‘t got that hymn book. Instead of inâ€" teresting the reader, you are annoy-l ing him â€" and that‘s bad ! For simâ€" ilar reasons it may be proper to reâ€" fer to the "23r¢ Psalm," since at icast a large majority of the â€"readâ€" ers know it by number, but other Bible rcfe.ences by number of chapâ€" ter acd verses are taboo. 4. Be careful how you use the word "very.‘ This doesn‘t seem imâ€" portant to you, but you do not know how sericusly the word is overworkâ€" ed . In most cases, this paragraph would sound no better if it was ~re: written: "Pe very careful how . you use the word ‘very‘ ". \ 5. Give more prominence to the maia items, less to mere rsutine. Du not start your sentences with ‘then. (It is unnecessary). Remember that a newspaper report differs from the minutes kept by the secretary. figures in their reports, not known | before, then tell the public about them. 6. Don‘t say "Sec‘y and Treas. reports were read and adopted" That is customary, and is not news. If there are any interesting facts or To which we would like to add a few paragraphs of our own: 7. Don‘t say "the meeting closâ€" ed with the Lord‘s Prayer in uniâ€" son" or "the National Anthem." _ It isn‘t news. If it closed with "Yankee Doodle" or "Watch on the Rhine‘,‘ then it would be news and well worth commenting upon. $. â€" Write up, and mail or deliver your reports _ promptly after _ the meeting.
