DISTRICT OR GRADED SCHOOLS.

In the above scale OF salaries credit should
be given TO teachers for whatever of successful
experience they may have had in teaching, even
If coming from other schools.
Mr.. McCardy moved the adoption of the
report
Mr.. Cullen would like to have time to con-
slider the matter, and hoped it would be
allowed to stand over till the next regular
meeting MONDAY next.
Mr.. Kerr said the trouble is that the month
expires on Monday, and salaries would be
due, and there would be no scale by which to
make out the vouchers.
Mr.. Cullen thought it a matter of much
Importance Last year they had to recon-
slider the matter, and he did not want all the
schoolma' ans in the city after him about
their salary.
Mr. Scheffer thought the report might be
adopted provision ally, that when the vouch-
ers came up each could be passed on and
altered.
MIR. Cullen would have no objection to
vote on superintendent and principal of
high schools; salaries, but not on the others.
Mr.. Benz said it was evident that some of
the salaries were raised, notably, Mrs.
Travers' from 5000 to $1,000, while others
were cut down.
DR.. Hagan said the committee wanted to
Mrs. Travers was expected to do the same
work that Gen. Smith did last year, for
which he was paid 81 300.
Mr. Kerr said he had always felt
that the board should act upon the
general principle to pay female az much as
male for the same work. 1t was no argu-
ment appealing to his conscience that be-
cause lady taught the school that the salary
should be less.
MIR. Donnelly moved the adoption of that
part of the report, referring to salaries of
principals and superintendent.
Mr.. McCardy asked that the portion of
the report alluded to be read over again,
which was done.
Mr.. McCardy moved that the principal of
Washington school have her salary increased
to $500.
Mr.. Kerr referred to the salary of the Rice
school principal. He said that is was under
stood that the salary was to be increased tc
$500 only on condition that another room
be opened. He could not conscientiously
vote for it till the school was increased by
another room.
MI. Merriam moved that each school be
voted on separately.
Mr.. Scheffer seconded the motion.
MIR. Donnelly withdrew his motion, anc
each was called over separately and acted
upon.
Upon the Sixth ward school being called
Mr.. Scheffer moved that the salary be fxec
at Isl 200.
The motion was carried with McCardy
voting no.
The Washington school was raised unan
nnously to $500.
The Rice school being called, Mr.. Ker
spoke against raising the salary to $500 til
another room is added.
Mr.. Scheffer said it was one of the wors
schools to manage, and it was a lonp way GU
to walk; he thought that it was worth $500
DR.. Hagan said that if the committee pu
up the fences and compelled pupils to go tt
their proper schools, the Rice school woul
soon fill up. 1t was ultimately agreed tina
the salary remain the same as last year, til
another room be added.
In the matter of assistants to the gram
mar schools, Mr.. Benz seemed to misunder
stand the principles of the schedule. Fl
seemed to think the committee were legis
lating for three OF four years ahead. Dl
Hagan gave the required explanation, an
the report was adopted.
Mr.. Kerr said in his opinion it was neces
sary to make out the geographical lines an
compel the pupils to attend the schools t
which they belong. He moved that tn
committee on schools be instructed to la
down the lines and report on Monday night
The resolution was adopted and the boar
adjourned.
