1 Assistants in higher grade schools in No. l. and all

Boys Department Of No. 4, owing to the large
/ number Of pupils TO be taught by each teacher,
and the great amonnt Of and attention requiT-
ed to be given by the teachers IN the government
aud discipline OF said school, your committee have
affixed the salary Of the Principal at $660; First
Il Assistant $780, aud ell other Assistants each $3.50.
Ia Primary Schools Nos. 2, 80 Z s, 10, II, II,
IA and Il the present compensation of the Irtnci-
pals not sufficient for the great amount of labor
and responsibility placed upon said Principals by
the Beard. The committees therefore, IN justice
to said teachers affixed the salaries Of said Prnci-
pals at $3.50 each; Assistant Principals, each S42j
First Assistants, each $685. Andrah Other AsSst-
ants, each $500; the Assistant Principals in this

ell Assistants, each $780, In School No. 9, Pnn-
cipal $3.50, the sans as ffst Assistant in hgheI
grade. In arranging the above schedule the COM
mttee have dispensed with the title OF Assistant
Prhcipal," in Schools Ncs. and 1. owing to the
fact that the difersnt rooms in said Schools each
have separate Principal, whose duty it is 10 have
entre supervision OF the same. Consequently, no
Assistant Principals are EeqaIrsd in said Schools
In the Primary Schools where there is but one
Pnncipalf for an entire school-building, the post
ton Of Assistant Principal is continued.
by comparing the schedule OF salaries herein

by the Board you will perceive that the salaries
for several of the grades have been increased This
the committee consider was absolutely necessary
TO retain the services ct good teaehers and encouf
age competent teachers TO apply for positions n
schools, 1t beng but reasonable TO expect thai
competent teachers " " demand reasonable com.
peasation tor their services By comparing the
present schedule with the former it will be found
that the total increase OF compensation in the
E Grammar Schools is only $525; in the Primary
I Schools. Sl655; making total increase over for
