A MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO sECU RE THEIR GRE
Tanned MONEY.
This morning five hundred public school
teachers, comprising about all the teachers of
the District, both white and colored, met at the
High school to consider means of securing a
deficiency appropriation to pay the teachers
the three per cent retained during the present
school year from their salaries as fixed by the
school board schedule. This amount was re-
famed because the schedule fixed by the board,
the amount appropriated by Congress,
and the number Of teachers employed
were discrepant At the meeting this morning
Mn MI: n. Z: Gage, supervising principal of the
second division, presided and Mr.. f. K. Lane,
OF the High school, acted as secretary A gen.
eral committee of twenty-five was appointed to
TAKE charge Of the whole matter. This general
com mittee subsequently appointed s1b-com-
mlttee, consisting of Supervising Principals
Gage and Stewart, Miss M. E. Rowe, Miss L. B.
doiorOok of the white schools, and Hiss How
ara, OF the colored schools, to present the mat
ter 70 the Commissioners. This committee
called at the District Commissioners Office this
afternoon and stated to Mr.. Webb, who was the
only Commissioner present, the desire of the
teachers to have the Commissioners submit the
case OF the teachers to Congress. After a brief
conference it was decided that the COMMITTEES
should have hearing before the whole board
Monday afternoon.
