I'm a second address to the school
board, Prof. Wiswall Tuesday evening,
urged that Miss Sears, whom it was
to take from the primary
grade and put into the seventh grade,
be left in the primary grade.
He requested that a good seventh
grade teacher be employed. He stated
that Miss Sears was a first class prim-
airy teacher. He was sure of that, but
that if she was placed in the seventh
grade she would be only an ordinary
one. He did not believe the policy of
the board a good one in grading salar-
les according to the grade taught. He
believed in paying teacher good wages,
no matter where she was. Immediately
after these remarks, Mr.. Mcdowell
stated that Miss Hannah had resigned
to go to Chicago, for higher wages.

had held no meeting and he hoped the
matter would be left open for further
