The bill to pay teachers in public schools
without recurring an average attendance OF
pupils was considered again yesterday on
It's passage. go,
Mr.. Saunders, in opposition 10 the bill,
claimed that the proposed law aimed
dangerous stroke at the efficiency OF the
public-school system of the State that II
would cause a multiplication Of schools IN
the State without an increase IN the money
with which to build them and to pay teach
ers; that this would result In diminishing
the pay of all the teachers by causing a
fixed fund to be divided among q larger
number of beneficiarles. DIR. Saunders
said that this result was TO be deplored; !;
that il would make the teachers teaching
in full schools pay out of their salaries the
amount necessary to supplement- the salaries
Of the teachers IN weak schools: ms would
certainly be a hardship. Mr.. Saunders
pointed out that the existing laws ana
regulations of the School Board provided
anample remedy for individual grievances
that what was needed was an intelligent
enforcement of adequate existing laws,
and not radical and dangerous change IN
the policy of the school system.
Messrs, Mason of King George, ShacKei,
ford of Orange, S. L. Coleman, Arnold. and
TYLER spoke in favor Of the bill. and de-
clared that the present law ls wrong III
principle, in that it holds a teac her respon-
sible for what he cannot control.
The bill was passed.
The House at 2:l5 o'clock adjourned.
