Now what I want to know is,-who pays the grant ? 1 say, we do. Your inspector will tell you that it is just as cheap to pay the teacher 1000.00 as it isStiOO.OO orSTOO.OO. Bssides this $1- 000.00 they arc allowed four weeks for sickness, and time to attend their own conventions, also many other privileges, with $5 00 per day going on. Out of this $1000.00 per year, they arc able to lay past a guoeranuation fund of 24%. Now, concerning the teacher who teach- es three years, what becomes of hc r portion ? I think that surely the inspect- ors must recp some benefit out of this, late us thcy seem very anxious for high- salaried men. Now 1 want to ask you rural delegates, Arc you willing for the teachers to have a superanuation fund when ninety percent of you are not in a position to have one of your own ?
