ried.
The real animus of the whole matter lay
in the second resolution, which was as fol-
lows:
"Resolved, That in q contest for posi-
should be employed by the contestants
and their friends. After q board OF edu-
cation has made choice of a teacher it
should be considered unprofessional for
the defeated candidate to criticise the sue
cessful one, or to charge him with incom-
potency or having resorted to unfair
means in securing the position"
There was a general murmur of approval
of this resolution till pointed out the fact
that the first part is but a commendation
of common honesty and is superfuous,
ard that the second part gives the lie to
decency by promising to uphold the "suc-
cessful' candidate whether he used honest
or dishonest means to secure his election.
claimed that it was the duty of teachers
to be honest and to condemn dishonest
people, whether they were teachers or not.
That explanation won the applause of the
assembly and the second resolution was
tabled at once.
The third resolution was comparatively
innocent thing, pledging the support and
confidence of the teachers 70 each other. 1t
was the only one OF the resolutions that
was adopted. 1t was evident to all that
the whole affair was q scheme to bolster
up the mover of the resolutions and to re-
fleet upon some of the ablest teachers in
the city who have had the good fortune to
run counter to schemers. Mr.. Gates was
so much chagrined at the failure of his
efforts that he declared that the resolu-
tions offered had been adopted by the
Michigan teachers association and that
the teachers of Los Angeles and California
in general we're far behind the progress of
the times.
took the floor and stated that reso-
lutions adopted by the Michigan associa-
ton or by the international association or
by any other society were not binding upon
us.
THE MONEY PROPERLY SENT
G. A. Sayre, erstwhile the agent for =. 4.
Webber & Co.. the San Francisco school
blackboard manufacturers, is not de-
faulter. The $6193.5O demand which he
was paid out of the city treasury on March
Goth was duly remitted, the California
Bank having acted as the agents for Web
ber & Co. in the matter.
The finance committee, minus Cohncil-
man w. p. Snyder, audited tho bill last
Monday and it was later in the day
allowed and ordered to be paid, although
Sayre's work had then and has not yet, as
matter of fact, been really accepted by the
city. The demand for the supplies fur
nished was o. KID by Building Superin-
toQuouV DtTduRo db 10 Quautity OHiy diu
by City Clerk Charles A. Luckenbach as to
contract price. Some of the work done is
not according to contract, and the bill be-
fore being allowed should have been con-
siderably shaved.
