While general economic
conditions have brought dras-
tice reductions in overhead
expenses in practically all
fields of industry and in busi-
ness it has been the repeated
plea of educational leaders
throughout this state and the
nation at large that those
having the responsibility of
directing school affairs re-
frain from such cuts in school
budgets especially where they
might effect teachers’ salaries

ratting injury to the educa-
tional systems.
The Record for several
months past has urged that
this very serious problem be
considered well by our school
authorities, that in mapping
out the program for next year
they be not mislead by im-
mediate conditions into mak-
ing drastic salary reductions
thereby threatening the dis-
ruption of a splendid faculty.
BOtrenchments have been
necessary during the past
year and these were made sat-
isfactorily, although they re-
ratted without doubt in
^ tlhar^wing a~ larger burden of
yblrk on a curtailed faculty,
with a fine spirit-the teachers
rarried on and are ending a
successful year only to be re-
warded for the sportsmanship
shown by still deeper cuts.
f * * *
The Record does not intend
this in any way as a criti-
cism of the action of the
board of trustees for certainly
the measure was given due
and ample consideration be-
fore final adoption of the
salary cuts. Other schools
have been forced to take sim-
ilar steps—but in the major-
ity of* cases reductions were
made provisional, being de-
