Mr. Photos S. Grindle, Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. Tracy W. Ames, a member of the School Committee, were admitted to the meeting. Mr. Ames spoke about the maximum salary of school teachers in the Elementary schools, as the School Committee would like to get the approval of this Committee in raising the maximum so that they would be able to retain the teachers.- The present maximum of salaries of the Elementary school is $1,700.00 per an- num, Junior High school is $1,900.00 per annum and the Senior High school is $2,000.00 per annum. Mr. Ames stated that all teachers now must have at least four years of training for Elementary as well as Junior and Senior High schools and he thought that the Elementary school maximum salary should be somewhere near the Jun- ior High. Mr. Ames stated that the School Committee wanted to raise the maximum salary of the Elementary school teabhers from $1,700.00 to $1,800.00 a year. He said that only eight teachers would be affected by this and that the school had sufficient money in the appropriation to take care of it. The principal reason he appeared before this Committee was to inform us what they were doing and to- get this Committee's approval. Nothing further to discuss, Messrs. Grindle and Ames left this meeting at 8:20 P.M.
