Money Cited as Cure for Ohio's Schools
Walton B. Bliss of the Ohio Education Association told SOBA teachers that money can fix Ohio schools. He cited 55,000 teachers working on certificates due to low salaries, with average pay in 11 Southeastern Ohio counties about 1300 a year for grade teachers and 1770 for high school teachers. He predicted higher salaries by next September as many cities vote on levies. The event included remarks by Dr Clyde Hissong, Thomas C. McCracken, and others, with discussions on poetry, education progress, and teacher leadership.
