Salaries of High school Teachers
Some RcsignatiOns Announced
and Minor Changes In the Teach
ing Staffs-PrOf. COngdOn's Music
Book to Get a Trial.
The school board yesterday restored
the Mechanic Arts high school in its
entirety by reappointing Mr.. Welt
brecht principal and full corps of
teachers. The board adopted the
schedule Of salaries to be paid high
school teachers recommended by the
special committee, authorized the
schedule increase in all salaries, and
adopted a set of text books to be used
III the Central and branch high schools.
In fact, the board, despite the limited
means at it's command, yesterday de-
clded to give the teachers in the pub
lie schools due recognition.
The board decided to open school
Monday, Sept. II, one week later than
usual. IT Is the consensus of opinion
of the board members that they will
be able to rum the schools next year
on the amount of money at their COM
mand. Although just at present there
is a visible deficit of about $4,000,
Which will be partly overcome by
shortening the term one week, other
economies will be practiced which the
board believes will enable them to
come out with their skirts clear.

ed for appointment in the Mechanic
Arts high school, and the board fixed
their salaries as follows:

On motion Of Inspector Corning,
prompted by a communication from
Miss Elsie Shave, the new supervisor
Of music, the board decided to adopt
the Modern Music series as supple
mentary to the natural series recently
adopted by the board.
This motion, however, called forth a
lively tiff between Inspectors Corning
and E. o. Zimmerman. Inspector Zim-
norman did not think the board should
take the action, as 1t had already
adopted the American Book company's
publication. Mr.. Corning asked Mr..
Zimmerman, in reply to his objection,
If the American Book company board

norman said briskly that they did not,
