WHY THE FIFTH DIVISION DIDN'T SIGN.
To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
As teacher in the fifth division, from which
no signatures we're obtained to the petition
from the teachers submitted to the Senate yes
terday, wish to correct statement made to
your reporter and appearing in last nights
STAR, to the effect that oil teachers in one di-
vision refused to sign the petition because adj
vised not to do so by school officials While
the teachers of the fifth division do not hesitate
to acknowledge that we have great confidence
in the judgment and advice Of our school Off
Gals, we do deny that upon question of this
kind we would accept their judgment in oppo-
sition to our own. because of fear of their dis
pleasure. A meeting of a majority Of the
teachers in this division was held, without the
advice or knowledge of any school officer, to
consider the petition. and it was unanimously
decided not to sign it. because Of objections to
1t, per Sc, as making an attack upon the pres
emit school administration, instead of calling
the attention of Congress to the terms of the
District appropriation bill. which necessitate
the present unjust determinations in the sala-
ries of teachers. A paper was drawn up by
this division and signed by every teacher to
whom 1t was possible to present it, stating the
present muddled condition Of the salaries and
pointing out the cause and remedy for this
condition as we understand them. This paper
was sent by US to the committee having the
other in charge, and was returned to us by
them. B. w. MURcH.
