Nearly Sixty one and a Half Thousand
Paid Alamance Teachers.
At an adjourned meeting of the
Coontv Board of Education the ap
" portionment of school fund* fur the
year 1919-'2O was completed. This
apportionment reveals some inter
eating facta. The most interesting
and hopeful fact discovered is that
the various districts are waking up
to a realisation of the fact that tbey
must pay larger salaries in order to
procure more efficient teachers and
to hold the efficient teachers which
they .now have. This is shown by
the fact that while the County Board
of Education apportioned fjr rural
teachers' salaries for six months the
sum of $59,200.26, $G 1,420.02 is
actually bt-ing paid to rural school
teachers. This difference of #5,-
219.77 is being made up in the dis
tricts by local tax and private dona
tiona. The amount apportioned the
city achoola for salaries alone was
$34,996.99, while the amount ac
tually paid the city teachers is $40,-
601.56, leaving a difference of $5,-
604 57 to be paid by local tax. The

amount apportioned for building

it will be safe to lift the closing order
about Monday, February 23rd. How
ever, further notice will be given at
a later date. Iu the meantime, it is
earnestly requested that the churches
of the town have no services on next
Sunday, and that all other places
covered by the closing tirder continue
to give the same co-operation as they
have been giving. Of course, the
conditions will determine luture ac
tion, but it now looks like it will be
safe (or the school, moving picture
