it was brought out that tho system,

Some of the' ideas suggested were
tp have the teaohers pay a part "of
their monthly salary and lot the state
apportion a like or larger amount to
be raised by special levy, by an inheritance
tax or some feasible plan.

Teachers who have passed the age
of, 65 would be eligible for the pension
under the tentative provisions
suggested. Teachers who have had
service of about 30 years or about 18
years service in the State were suggested
as being eligible for Denslan*.

All details would be worked out by
a committee which is to investigate
