II begins to look as if the principals oi
the various schools: who reported ad-
versely on the qualifications of many oi
their subordinates will have to face the
music unassisted by the School Directors,
AT any rate the board has given. am Pile
evidence that it is very tired Of the scan
dal that the efforts of the solid nine to
create number OF places for Rainey
friends precipitaled. =
At a special meeting last night a mum
Der of the teachers who were the victims
of the "transfer" scheme on Wednesday
last had the satisfaction of being return ed
TO their old places in spite of the une1
pressed cnagrin of the principals. :
a. The programme was carried out as
quietly as possible. Ra!ney's heutenants
were evidently anxious that the full mean
ing of the various reports OF committees
that brought about the old order of things
should be adopted without discussion and
without their full significance becoming
known. TIE plan worked like a clock
and the mem bers of the solid nine con-
graduated themselves to think they had
got out of rather uncomfortable position
with so little trouble. =. ..-.'
How the disgruntled principals wiIItake
it remains to be seen. The teachers now
feel that they have the best OF the situa-
tion and may proceed to make it warm
for their suDeriors. Some oft them already
intimate that. they will now proceed tC
file counter-charges by way of retaliation.
The result of last nights changes is as
follows: :. - ...

80. There was a wrangle over the salary
schedule for the coming year, and once
passing it the boaru -. decided last
evening to lay the whole matter over -un-
til August H. ito give the Salaries Com
mittee a chance to revise its work, some
of the Directors claiming that a mum ber
of schools were not properly classified.
When Director Head, chairman of the
Salaries Committee, presented the report,
it was apparently satisfactory, but Di-
rector Carew started the ball of opposition
going by moving that the salary OF. Miss
Kendrlck, the typewriter and stenographe T
of the Superintendent's Office, be raised
from $50 10 $50 per mon lh. ''...-.
This was agreeable 10 all the directors
and the complete report was adopted.
When the result was announced DirecI or
Ragan stated that he understood the vote
to be on the single item Of Miss Ken
drick's salary and declared that the salary
schedule was unfair and that he had a
number of amendments to offer. He was
allowed TO present them and then the fun
began.
He wanted the salary of the principal
If The Noe Valley School raised from 500
TO $110 per month, because the committee
had tailed to properly classify it.
This was carried, but motion by DR..
Ragan to raise the salary of the princiI al
of the Hum boldt School was lost.
Then Director Gallagher announced
that there were no end of mistakes In the
classification of the schools, the Lincoln,
with an attendance of 406 scholars, being
rated higher than the Hamilton, with an
attendance of 529 pupils. He cited other
instances and stated that the committee
ought to have been more careful with its
