Sproul said that he hoped to see enacted before long legislation that would give the teachers of the State a substantial Increase in sal aries, averaging about twenty per cent. It all depends on the revenue, said the Governor, that the Woodruff bill would be the basis of the legislation and that the matter which was holding it up was<the revenue. "I think that we shall be able to tell in a week what money wo can appropriate. 1 want to see the dis tricts share in the responsibility in meeting the increase, the State giv ing ten per cent, and the districts ten. for instance," said the Gover nor. Dr. Finegan discussed various phases of educational work with the teachers who met the Governor, go ing into the problems of rural schools on which he has had wide experience. He will have further meetings at which matters relative to development of the system will bo considered. MAY 22, 1919.
