Willintantic, New London and many other cities throughout the state and nation have already advanced the sal- aries of their teachers voluntarily.

Meeting Was Brief One. BEver since the meeting of the board a week ago Tuesday when it was voted to give each teacher a bonus of $75 payable at the end of the next school year, there has been quiet but very general discussion on the subject but,the meeting on Wednesday was a short one and took quick action. There were some brief remarks.in which attention was called to the $1 per day -raise granted to the police force, the salary raise granted the firemen to make their pay the same as the policemen, and the 20 per cent. raise ‘given to the school janitors. It is understood that other argu- ments that have weighed with the teachers have been a comparison with salaries in New London where the salary range of from $850 to $950 for the Thighest grade teachers as con- trasted |with $750 to $850 here. Al- veady, it is understood, about a dezen of the Norwich teachers have started the study of stenography and type- writing in anticipation of taking po- tions in that line if their salaries here do not meet their expectations.
