There were two reports, each signed by
two members, the second differing from tn,
first in the recommendation that principal.
i of grammar A schools receive $1,000 pei
annum, instead of $l50O
| Mr.. Tracy was in favor of fairly com
pensating talent and, therefore, moved tt
take up the highest sum named first in order
Mr.. Lynch thought teachers should be
we'll remunerated, or they would betake
themselves to other employments. The cum
allowed was small enough.
Mr.. Gaudet was opposed to discrimina
ton between male and female teachers
The same labor and braiu-work was per
formed, and should be equally paid for.
Mr. Bourges was opposed to salary OF
$500. The committee had agreed to re
duce all other salaries, and as good talen,
was required for first assistant as a prin.
eipal.
Mr.. Pinchback had not favored any reduc
tion of salaries, but the board concluded to
economize. 1t had first reduced the num-
Der of teachers but owing to outside criti,
cisms and pressure it employed additional
ones, and reduction of twenty per cent on
salaries was agreed upon. The commit
tees proposition to exempt male teachers
was uDjust, and he should vote against it.
The motion to adopt $500 was lost. Op-
position being made to $1,000. Mr.. Lynch
suggested as an amendment $li50.
Mr.. Pinchback favored equal salaries for
male and female teachers, and proposed
$l400 for grammer A principals.
After some discussion, engaged in by
Messrs. Lynch, Bourges, Gaudet, Dumont
and Tracy, the amendment Of Mr.. Pinch
back was adopted.
Mr.. Mccarthy called attention to the
omission of music teachers, when 1t was
moved and carried that three music teach
ers, with salary of $1,000 per annum, be
appointed.
The report of the committee, as amended
was then adopted.
Mr. Stamps said that Carrollton had only
two schools, one attended by white and the
other by co,ored pupils, and the teachers
ought to be paid grammar A ealary. He
referred to Mir Boothby to sustain him.
Mr.. Lynch thought the schools should be
visited, and their character determined.
Mr. Stamps thought Mr.. Boothby, the
superintendent, was properly informed on
the subject. 1t was an iriustice to pay
Carrollton teachers 5000 for the same labor
for which $li00 was paid in the city.
Mr. Boothby was of opinion that the
Jefferson School. Carrollton, should rank as
grammar A.
Mr.. Lynch did not want the the board to
lose sight of their estimate, and to keep
within bounds.
The motion to substitute SlC50 for S9i0
was lost.
Mr.. DumOnt proposed that the salaries Of
all grammar b teachers be fixed at $1,000
per annum.
The report as amended was adopted.
