NOTES.
II is understood that Mr.. McClain, as q
member of the Board of Education, has
pledged himself to work for a reduction of
expenses In several departments of the
schools where there is some complaint raised
by taxpayers. The evening papers take &C.
casion to make light Of the efforts Of the
teachers who attempted to down Mr.. Miller
for his second term on the Board, and talk
as if the instructors had no worthy motive
in their work. Personally we have nothing
against Mr.. Miller" said one of the teach
ers, but we did earnestly pray that the
voters would go back on him. Dur fight is
not alone at Mr.. Miller, but we have it in for
every member of the Board and
the Superintendent who favored
the contract of last year which
they attempted 10 force upon US. The
speaker then related instances of how the
Board of Education goes about saving money
which, if true, should be investigated and
the true light thrown on such matters.
Continuing the informant said: "The pres,
emit Superintendent Of the Schools leads the
board about as he phases, and when he Ia
vors an object, no matter Of what proper
ton, it is pushed through. Is it not the duty
of the Superintendent to visit the various
ward schools instead of employing extra
help for it? Of course, the teacher en-
ployed does q little extra work once in q
while, but could not the Superintendent do
IL lust as well2 He is not overlooked with
work. His pay is larger than that OF any
ike official who ven before him, and they
never were allowed additional help. There
is another thing" continued the instructor
of the youth that | would mention. Have
you ever investigated the amount of slate
pencils, lead pencils, and other small artl-
eles that that the School Board buy tor the
primary schools. l suppose you have not,
but YOU might inquire. We mean to attack
all such schemes that ONE under
our notice aud as the other
papers have shown a disposition to scorn US,
YOU will do our cause much good BY publish
ing lust what | say. They can make con-
tracts until they are tired, but you can put
il down as a fact that almost every teacher
who refused her signature last year will do
it this, and if it comes to the worst they can
probably get other employment. The con-
yersation ended here but it appeared to the
writer that there is hardly so much smoke
without some fire, and if any of the tsxPay'
ers money is uselessly spent, let US hear OF 1t.
