authorized to proceed and make all neces-
sary repairs as suggested.

Helen Weir. A vote was taken, which re-

For Miss Weir-Chadderdon Avery.
Miss Clara Henley, who was elected to
the second grade of the Sacramento Gram
mar School, asked to be placed back in the
fifth grade, where she was promoted from
The Board could find no one to change
with Miss Henley, The trouble about get
ting teachers to leave the fifth grade and
take the second grade in the Grammar
school is that the work is very much in
creased, while the salary is only s. per
month greater The Board seriously con-
sidered the propriety of reducing all the
teachers in the fifth, sixth and seventh
grades So per month, and adding So to those
in the Grammar school. 1t seems that all
the teachers work for the fifth grade, and
once there they object to further
promotion. The salaries viii, in all
probability, be reconsidered tat the
next meeting. 1t may in that
case be necessary to declare all the posi-
tons in the department vacant, and 90 into
a new election, in order to comply with the
strict letter of the law The Board seemed
TO think that it did not look well for the
department when so many holders of first
grade certificates objected to promotion be-
yond the fifth grade.
Miss BERTHE Groth, the holder of a second
grade certificate, applied for position as
teacher.
Mrs. Lawlor and A. B. Hughes applied
for janitorial positions, and as there was no
vacancy their names were placed upon file
with large number of others
Miss Florence n. Hamilton wrote the
Board from Orange, Cal, asking their
recommendation to assist her i'll getting an
educational diploma, she having taught
here and elsewhere the number of years
required by law.

to the Board, said if the latter would send
