(Sperial to The Evening World.) ALBANY, -May 20.—The bill in- creasing the salaries of 23,000 school teachers in New York City and 53,000 in the State was approved by the Governor last night. It was ono of his final acts in disposing of the 600 bills with which he had been wrest- ling for thirty days.

They submitted to him a con- cise report, setting forth the calcula- tions of a firm of expert investigators employed by tho teachers to got at the exact cost to the city under the new law. “Thse <igures:” declared Mr. Cran- dell, “showed that the estimates corn piled by Comptroller Craig were exag- geratd and untruthful k GOVERNOR TELLS WHY HE AP- ‘ PROVED THE BILL.

To.bring this about the teachers should be adequately paid and fairly pensioned. I strongly recommend that whatever curtail- ment may be necessary elsewhere, full and adequate provision be mads for the education and training of our children.’ “It has been certified to mo by tho State Department of Education that the training schools for teachers ara not attended in a satisfactory manner, due to the fact that the salaries paid to school teachers fail to attract women to that important service, This presents a serious situation and one that the State itself must with.

It has been certified to me by State Commissioner of Education Finley that the cost will be as follows: “First year—1920—$1,612,000 “Second year—1921—$5,700,000; “Third year—1922—$9,450,000, “There are two great functions the State performs for our people.
