A prolonge ed debate occurred over an
attempt to increase the salary of Mr..
George Fl. Babb principal of the Manual
Training school, from $500 to $780, Mr.
Brownson, Mr.. Hall ard Dr. Warren
spoke heartily in favor of the increase.
The other members of the board had a
| pleasant word to say about Mr.. Babb and
his successful teaching, but they were op-
posed to raising salary in this case mas
much as lack OF means prevented increase
| in the High school list of salaries.
In answer to Mayor Randall's argu-
marked: fHas the city of Portland arrived
at that point where it cannot raise an ex-
| ira 500 for the benefit of education? 1t
succeeded in raising $500 for Fourth of
July, and it seems to me the subject of
education of the youth is of more i'm
portance than the firing of pop guns
The Mayor remarked that the Fourth
Of July appropriation was made in accord
with general desire on the part of the
people.
A yea and nay vote on the motion to
increase Mr.. Babb's salary 500 resulted
in tie, Messrs. Brownson, Hall, Warren
and MCGOWAN voting in favor and the
other four members against. Then fol-
lowed further debate, in which was i'm.
parted the information that Mr. Babb re-
Gently received from Massachusetts city
an offer of school at a salary of $500.
Finally, on motion of Mr.. MCGOWAN, the
extra 500 was added to Mr.. Babb's salary,
with the provision that it be taken from
the Appropriation for materials, if it can
be done without in any way crippling the
school.
