To the Honorable School Board: GENTLEMEN:—We, the undersigned teachers of the Butler public schools, ask to submit the following for your careful consideration: First: In the view of the fact that extra qualifications are now required of the teachers by the State, School Board and citizens of Butler; and that special preparation is absolute- ly necessary to maintain the credit and high standing to which our | schools have attained, and further | the cost of living has steadily in- creased, while the salaries have not been increased commensurate with the above mentioned circumstances, we respectfully ask your honorable body to make provisions for an in- crease in our salaries this coming year as your better judgment may dictate to the interest of all concern- ed. Second: We have practically no libraries in our schools, which are so essential to successful work that we think some special provisions should be made to put libraries in each ward building. ; Third: In the most successful bus- iness institutions, various gradesand classes of public officers and all of the best regulated school systems in the State and Nation have adopted | the graded salary system. We fur- ther ask your consideration along | for a sale of his personal effects on ‘this line whereby each teacher may | ¥ | know how much the school board ap- | preciates successful school work, and ! just what reward will come to the | teacher who makes great improve- ment in his or her school every year.
