trouble in the SIuJh Mulberry street
school and the cl DStng ul the schools on

The resignation Of Mr. Glover WAS 40
ccptcd.
Mr llagrman stated that tho salary OF
second ass'sttuL ia tho boys high school
had been raised from $50 TO 1900 year
because OF the higher branches taught by
Mr.. Glover, aud as hc has resigned he
supposed the SALARY would fall back to
what IL was before his election.

man that Mr.. Gluver's salary was u special
Qua and that the salary of second assis
tSnJ falls back 10 sij0.

O. 900 because Vt the increased labor rc
qUrrUd uu the part OF tho teacher by the

TO.
DR.. Horr said that tho salary of Mr..
Gable, first Assistant teacher (S1iO) was
not pruportlDueh to the Importance of his
position. Ho moved it be fixed at 5000.
hr Baker asked whether the object
| Intended was 70 give Mr.. Gable, who
taught lower branches, higher salary
! than n teacher who gave instructions in
| higher branches that Mr. Gable cannot
teach. IL WAS auom IlOus that tho second
assistant in the high school received q
! higher salary than the irst assistant, but
! he thought the salary should Oo in sc.
| coIdhnce with tho scholarship Of the
| teacher.
Mr.. Evans said that his recollection OF
the Increase of Prof Glover's salary WAS
that 1t MAS nade by the urgent request Of
| Mr NcCaskcy principal, aud Mr.. Gable
first assistant OF the school, because he
taught branches thai they could not teach
and that It his sI'ary was increased they
would not ask IN Increase of their own.
Do. Herr said the salary went with the
| rficG not with the teacher who held II,
PTot GIoveT's Position FnIed.
Nr. Brosjus moved that the board pro
coed 10 I'LL the vacancy caused by the
rCstguatiDu OF Mr.. Glover.

ppulus the election until the next regular
meeting Of the bJSrt, anl that the score
,ary be q ruCted To advertise for a teacher
90 I'LL the position.
Mr. Hartman moved to amend tht
amendment by eleoting Miss Mary Martin
to fill Prot. GlJveT's uneNptred term. ii,
spoke highly of her accomplishments auC
said that although tho proposition 10 elec'
her did not at ticst commend itself 10 hi
iui gmeut, the more he thought of It thI
better he thought Of it. Ii the expert
mout OF placing a female teacher IN I'll,
male high school does not succeed chang
can be made at the end OF the term.
Mr. Baker favored the experiment
Tho teacher comes highly recommended
has had much experience, aud is qualttie,
. 70 teach the several branches. There ar
two male teachers ia the school, aud b
thought II was worth while 70 try the ex
pertinent Of electing female teacher fU
the unexpired term.
Mr.. MgCODomy opposed the proposition
and hOpsd that those members OF th
> board who could not agree to the electlO
70 Of Miss Martin would at least have choiC
| Ia the selection OF teacher. IL vot
were forced now he could not vote at al
He believed that boys when they entcrc
= the high school had been long enoug
under female teachers and required ma
10 instruct and govern them. There is Il
urgency for an election now. The boar
meets again in two weeks. Within th3
i time We can advertise for teacher an
have choice OF several app ,icants. lie IA
e heard of two or three already.
J. Mr. Byrue was glad of the opportunit.
which now presented, 10 test new dE
,r parture In the selection of teachers. IL
% hard to get male teachers OF high cha
- acter at the salaries which We pay. Me
who have spent much tims III educatin
themselves TO give instruction in q
y higher branches, cannot be had az D
So figures. Aud now an opportunity Is pr
~ sented TO secure q lady teacher oil ackno
ledged scholarship and long experienc
st He would bo glad TO have an opportuuI
