LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The School Teacher Autocrats Mr. Editor: The school board has lafter careful thought, decided what the taxpayers can stand by way of salary raise for the teachers. Their decision is fair. The tedchers have decided that they are going to tell| the board what they shall receive, In| other words the board duly elected by | the citizens—is going to be run by a few teachers who think they have authority to speak for all the rest. The Boston police thought they were going to run the department instead of the people’s Trepresenta- tives. Everybody knows what hap- pened. A few ringleaders and agi- tators got the whole department .in- to trouble and out of their jobs. Forty-five or fifty thousand dollars at one grab is some money to put your hand into the taxpayers’ pockets for. Don't forget it! Ringleaders of these movements should be made an ex- ample of for the good of the commun- ity. From the feeling and réf¥arks of the citizens it looks,as if there might be some fun for somebody.
