THE GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL
1t was moved and carried that the super
intendent of the Girls High School must re-
port on the condition of the building every
week and in case of failure to obey the or
der he shall be DISCHARGED. There was
pretty little fonr-handed row between Di-
rectOrs Dunn, Woodward, Sewell and Sabin
over the delay in completing the building
during which Dunn ard Woodward INDUCED
in personalities to such an extent that the
chair had to exercise his authority more than
once
Director Wood ward accused Dunn of de-
laying the completion of the bull ing for
the purpose OF having it paid for out Of the
funds of the next fiscal year and asserted
that he had been told so by the architect of
the board.
Dunn retorted that he did not believe
Woodward had been told any such thing
and said that the latter was trying to make
political capital of the affair.
The chair finallv quieted the members
and the business went on.

aries Cf the school census maTshals as fol-
lows Chief marshal. Sc per day; assistant
chief, Sc per day; census marshals, IS per

The question Of raising the salary OF
Miss Fairchild of the Croker School
caused a long and hot discussion. The
teacher asks that she be paid $50 a month
in future and for eight months past OH the
ground that her school is and has been a
grammar school.
Decker went for Brooks and Sewel for
opposing the motion to increase the salary.
and accused Brooks Of going 10 other
schools and telling teachers TO keep the
pupils now in their schools which rightfully
belong to Miss Fairchild. He also accused
the committee of the whole of giving Miss
Fairchild slap in the face.
Brooks. Sabin, Woodward and Dunn all
took hand in the row, and the chair had
again 10 interfere.
Sabin declared there was a scramble
among principals for pupils in order 10 get
more salary. The motion TO increase the
salary was lost by vote of 9 to 8.
The Brooks amendment doing away with
the custom OF deducting from the June
salaries of teachers for absence during the
year was defeated by vote of 6 to 6.

night was on.
