List Of School Teachers
for the Year
NOT A GREAT MANY CHANGES
REPORTS RECEIVED WITH JUST
ONE PROTEST
Director W. L. Webb and Superin-
tendent Foshay Are Granted
Leave of Absence

The rooms of the board of education
were packed to suffocation last night.
The space is very limited, so the specta-
tors lust overflowed into the corridors,
and they certainly had the best of it.
The door of the superintendents room
being thrown open, some OF the lady
teachers were accommodated, while they
sat and listened to sentence being
nassed on several hundreds of the city
school teachers.
Before the proceedings opened. how
ever, the board held private session
inside, and, rightly or wrongly, it was
supposed they were putting few fin
ishing touches to the frills and trim
mings on the report OF the teachers'
committee. 1t was mooted, too, that
during the evening there might be
modicum of spice injected into the de-
uberations of the board, inasmuch as
Miss Gertrude Horgan of the Ann street
school was at the last moment being
made to figure, metaphorically, as a
hone of contention A member of the
board was credited with having taken
a bellicose stand and insisting that Miss
Horgan should have, metaphorlcally,
again, of course, her scholastic head
chopped eff. S. E. Fulton, an ex-member
of the board, was present In the rooms,
and he was supposed to represent Miss
Horgan's interests. AS there is no great
amount of fraternal feeling binding
him to the present member of the board
on the other side of the fence, 1t was
thought, an indeed wickedly hoped, that
there might be an interchange of hos
tilities, Just to give variety to what Gus
tom has decreed shall be cut and dried
program.
And so it was. When the report Of
the committee on teachers and schools
was submitted, Director Poor moved
that "inasmuch as the committee had
prepared it's report with great labor
and care, and it having been passed upon
unanimously by the board sitting as a
committee Of the whole, 1t should be
adopted without reading"
Director Davies then fired the first shot
into the report, but it didn't hit any
body-that is, sufficiently to be effect
i've. He said that he realized that the
committee had done much work. but he
regretted that it had seen fit to drop
from the rolls Miss Owens of the Eighth
street school. The young lady had been
in the school for several years and had
been successful; no faults had been
found and the reports had been good.
"On one OCCASION" said Mr.. Davies, "she
was marked below the average, and on
other occasions she had been marked
up to and once one above the average.
The residents in the ward protest against
this as casting a slight upon this teach
ers future. She is endorsed by the prin-
cipal, and the people in the ward desire
that she remain. We protest against
the action of the committee as an in
justice to her and to us. While the re-
port receives my vote it is with this ex-
ception and under protest"
The report was then adopted without
any other dissent, as follows:
APPOINTMENT OF TEACHERS
The committee on teachers and schools
recommends that the following named
persons be appointed as teachers in the
schools of the city of Los Angeles for
