For Relief Teachers Make Plea, 1913.

 

The Constitution, Atlanta, Ga., Saturday, June 28, 1913

Homer, Ga., June 25-

The common school teachers of Banks county have gone on record in a ringing appeal to Governor-elect Slaton for an adjustment of the system that not only pays them “paltry salaries”, but makes them wait indefinitely for payment of any nature.  At a recent meeting of the Banks County Teachers and Educational Association resolutions were passed which recited the conditions that prevail in Banks, as in other counties in the state.  Those signing the resolutions are Oscar Brown, George M. Chambers, Misses May Henderson, May McGalliard and Irene Payne.
