Ministers! Union The Rosemary-Roanoke Rapids Ministerial Union held its first meeting of the New Year with Rev. A. C. Carter, Pastor of Rosemary Baptist Church.

Lance, the newly appointed pas tor of Rosemary Methodist Church, was unanimously receiv ed and welcomed fnto the Union. This being the regular meeting for the election of officers for the ensuing year it was moved and carried that that election be en tered upon. The secret balloting finally disclosed the following elections: Rev. L N. Taylor President, Rev. A. C. Carter Vice President, and Rev. E. C. Fjw, Secretary and Treasurer. The issue of momentous im portance to the public was the decision of the Union, to resume immediately the Thursday after noon prayer services in behalf of our soldiers and nation at this critical hour.

E. C. Few, Sec'y. AN APPEAL FOR B1CCER SALARIES FOR TEACHERS A serious situation confronts the public schools of the State. Teachers' salaries are utterly in adequate to meet the greatly in - creased cost of living in thes - war times. Many teacher - pernaps a majority ui mem find their presnt salaries insuf - ncient to meet their actual ex- penses of living. In many instan- cea teachers are paid $10.00 per month for not more than five or six months a year, and are pay- ing 120.00 per month, or more, j r. k.,-i tv, .J ' aiviic. ut annual salary for white teachers in North Carolina in 1316 was $2. 62. While the salaries have' been increased slightly during 1 the present year, the small in-j crease has not been at all in pro - portion to the great increase in their living expenses, nor in pro portion to the increase made in other lines of work in the State and Nation. Many of the young men, especially, at the High Schools, have been drafted for service in the army; many of the women teachers, on account of j increasd demand and increased compensation in other lines of work, and many on account of their absolute inability to meet actual living expenses on the sal aries offered for teaching, have been forced to leave the profes sion. The result is that there is a great derth of teachers in North Carolina. The demand for teach ers is greater than the supply. Many schools have'not yet been able to secure teachers. It seems likely that many will not be able to secure them and will be com pelled either to be closed for lack of teachers or to employ untrain ed or inefficient teachers. Realizing the seriousness of this situation, the North Caro lina Teachers Assembly, at its recent meeting in Charlotte, passed strong resolutions calling attention to the necessity for in creased salaries of teachers. At the same session of the Assembly, the Department of School Boards, attended by sixty representa tives of county and city boards of education and the State Associ ation of County Superintendents, devoted much time to the serious discussion of this situation, and passed strong resolutions urging the increase of funds and increase of salaries for meeting the situation. Committees were ap pointed to co-operate with the State Department of Education in waging a campaign in devis ing ways and means for increas ing schools funds and increasing the salaries of teachers .with a view to relieving this serious situation and thereby preventing a serious interruption of the work of the schools and serious injury to the efficiency of the educational work and of the teaching profession in the State. A conference with thege com mittees, including the Executive Committee of the Teachers As sembly, will be called by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction on the 18th day of January to formulate plan and inaugurate a state-wide campaign for increasing school funds and teachers salaries for relieving this serious situation. The follow ing means for increasing school funds and salaries are available by the people under the law: 1. By voting special county wide taxes for schools under Chapter 71 of the Public Laws of 1911 and by voting special townshiptaxesformaintenanceof township high schools under Sec tion 4113 of the Public School Law. 2. By increasing the number of special tax school districts and voting therin special tax for the maintenanceof thedistrict schools under Section 4115 of the Public School law and by increasing the special tax for schools in special tax districts heretofore estab lished under said Section to a maximum of 50c on the $100, and $1.50 on the poll, nd in special chartered city and town schools, to a maximum of $1.00 on the Cotton Today 29 3-4 jWOMANLESS WEDDING !
