Whole on this matter
Mr.. WATERBuRY-This is very important matter and
ought 10 be carefully considered full Board Now am
willing for myself though twenty-five members are
absent TO 60 on with this evening and give 1t the best
consideration think it better however, to gave
some entire evening il when have fall Board and,
therefore that the report be the special order for the
next regular meeting after the third order Of business
Mr.. PHLLIPs-I hope that motion will not prevail The
genemans object is to defeat the proposition Now Sir
stopped in the progress of this business AZ the
lest meeting for the want Of quorum. trust the Board
will 90 into the business now.
Mr. WaIyRBURY-The gentleman has DO right 10 al
tribute improper motives do not wish to enter
into any factious opposition but think IT s important
that h report should be postponed for the consideration
of full Board. As the question OF salary Is the basis OF
the matter ought to have statistics before rs 50 as TO
estimate the EXPENSE The resolution ooreh py Gv Ilh
these statistics and the returns viii be ready before the
next regular meeting believe the effect OF tins report
will be to very materially increase the salaries Of teachers
n our Schools

that this matter may be deferred 10 another meeting that
the members may prepare themselves 10 understand the
subject Ii any gentlemen Of the Convention feel DIS

present time would remind them that according to their
own declaration they year IN connecting tins

we should chip the shell for them and ace what IT s with

all events, hope they will have some CONSIDERATION Tor

time.
Mr.. HrpBARD-It has been before the Board already
six weeks.
Mr. SwEEyY-Not before six weeks sir. II is very

Mr. DE LANATER-I hope the matter will be postponed.
said that has been before the Board for the last two
years The greater part of it has not been before the
Board than six weeks The question OF salary mas
been before the Board but as regards Bylaws that rs
different matter entirely am prepared to show that
this report has been conceived IN error and believe
subversye of the peace and harmony and OF the best
Mr. CyprIs-I am the last man in the Board who is
going to urge action a report which have not signed
and approved and which the Board has had so long under
consideration. The Committee have conferred with many,
nay say the majority of the teachers and heepor has
receve their approval 1t is impoxant that decision
should be soon arrived at Yet am the very last
vote that gentlemen shall have time to examine the
inaer-the very last to shut the door against information
The question then taken on NJ. waterbury motion
to postpone, and it was lost
Tie question then oeing on the report,
Mr. De L,a.rER said; Gentlemen. VIC are about 10
ms Ike the Principal OF the Normal School an Assistant SUI
perintendent think that is rejecting upon the City Su,
and imposng the Principal OF the Normal
School, who is engaged in his duties teacher six days IN
the week. Besides ask who is to examine the Principal
of the Normal School, for he is but teacher himself
Now Sir am opposed the section altogether. 1t
never be carried out Ii partial in its effects and Will
create great deal of dissatisfaction Now Sir if we pass
law hope it will be law to be carried out at every
point-not operating partially here and there Then
would the Free Academy and ascertain whether Dr.
Webster is qualified. He may have become little rusty,
perhaps i'll branches Under the law ne should be
examined otherwise hope it may never pass this Board
Mr. SaITH-I am in favor Of striking out the Principal
of the Norms! School who is confined by his appointment
TO the performance OF limited duty suppose the Pm
cpa would not be bound 10 perform the duty the rule
should pass and if he did compensation Tor its per-
Torrance would have TO be paid would like IT some
regulation could be adopted TO exempt some from exam
nation but as that is mpractcaoe seems 10 me that a
had better come under the operation Of the provision and
then leave TO the Superintendent to decide as TO VINO
does who does not require TO be examined must not
be taken that any particular class OF teachers entitled
20 rank number hope the provision IN the man
Mr. JoSEs-I wish to state that at the time when this
paragraph drawn II was not decided by this Board
that there should be than Superintendent. The
Board have decided that there shall be and
the Committee are willing 10 insert Assistant Super
ini,nceps in the place of Principal Of the Normal
School
HI followed desultory discussion the necessity Of
having any one TO assist the City Superintendent IN exam
ming the teachers.
Mr. PHILLIPS thought the salaries should not be raised
nnon The authority of single ndvidua-ths woud be
rh more satisfactory to the teachers and school officers
and 10 this Board if the Superintendent should call IN an
assistant say of the Assistant Superntendents.
Mr. De PEysryRI am sorry to disagree with my friend
who last spoke fear his proposition VIII letter the acton
of the City Superintendent by il he will be compelled to
call in an assistant under all circumstances when many
times IL will not be necessary.
Mr. JoxFs-The Committee debated this matter long,
and think il is too great responsibty-too great
