'PARENTS ASK
WHY TEACHERS
ARE LEAVING
Only five of the 13 teachers em
ployed in the Ketchikan high and
grade schools have signified their in
tention to teach here again next year.
This fact was brought to light at a
meeting of the Parent-Teachers’ As
sociation.
The question as to why the teachers
were leaving was raised by George
Lingerfelt, who said he was sorry to
s^& an efficient faculty, such as he
believed the present teaching staff to
be, broken up without just cause for
such action being announced.
Offered More in States
“For one thing,” said Mr. Lingerfelt,
“the teachers here are not paid as
much as they are offered in the states.
As an employer of labor I know that
it is impossible to secure efficient help
unless we are willing to pay fair sal
aries, and I, for one, am in favor of
increasing the teachers’ salaries.”
Professor Knox, superintendent of
the Ketchikan schools, was asked why
so many teachers were leaving this
year.
He stated that the school board did
not know as yet just who were retir
«
ing from the faculty. Five teachers
had announced their intention to re
turn and some had said they would
not return for the salaries. The ques
tion of salaries, he said, seemed to
be the principal cause of dissatisfac
tion.
Can’t Pay Expenses
Mrs. Walter Sharpe spoke in favor
of increasing salaries. She praised
the present faculty for its efficiency,
but said that she did not believe they
were receiving high enough salaries to
be able to pay expenses.
Mrs. Floyd Ryus advised the parents
to attend board meetings, in order
that the board might have the benefit
of public opinion.
John Sjursen advised that a com
mittee be appointed to interview the
city council to see if the annual school
appropriation might not be increased
sufficiently to permit an increase in
salaries. He explained that while the
salaries were fixed by the school board
the money was appropriated by the
city council.
Mr. Sjursen’s proposal met with gen
eral approval. Several suggested that
the committee interview not only the
^ council but the school board and teach
ers as well.
A motion, made by A. Brindle, was
then carried that the chair appoint a
committee to confer with the school
board, city council and teachers and
attempt to settle whatever difficulties
might be the cause of so many teach
ers leaving.
Mrs. M. S. Dobbs was the only mem
ber of the school board to speak for
it.—Ketchikan Chronicle.

THEIR LIQUOR
— —- ♦ ■■ ■
VICTORIA, B. C., May 18 (by Asso
ciated Press).—“Patients” in the hab
it of securing “sufficient” quantities
of liquor under the Brtish Columbia
“prescription” system, will find their
source of supply largely curtailed un
der the amended prohibition act,
passed by the legislature March 19,
and to which royal assent, making it
effective was given in the Assembly
a few days ago.
Under the amended act, physicians
may only prescribe eight ounces of
government dispensed liquor instead
of two quarts as heretofore. If more
is deemed necessary, the physician
must execute an affidavit that the
liquor is for medicinal purposes only
and that a thorough examination of
the patient had been made. Liquor
may be imported without the province
in accordance witah federal statutes
but must be delivered to the home of j
the purchaser and may not be re
moved therefrom unless the owmr is
making a bona fide change of resi
dence. Prices of government dis
pensed liquor have increased about j
20 per cent since the first of the year.
The “man in the woods” has an ad
vantage over his city brother. Being
far removed from the source of sup
ply, he may secure—through the
prescription route—as much as two
quarts. Anyone living more than five
miles from a government dispensary
or drug store may secure up to six
teen ounces.
Extracts may in the future be se
cured in four ounce quamtities only,
and one must be a householder to
secure essences, extracts or similar
“kick” producers.
