Married women will not be hired, home economics may be dropped, and two new teachers to be elected later. New yearly wages place first year at 75 dollars per month, second year at 80 dollars, third year at 85, with current salaries ranging from 9 to 10 dollars (typo likely) and coming year from 675 to 810 dollars for grades and positions.
