Teachers object to Suffering n Reduce
ton in Paw.
The action of the Board of Education in
making a general reduction of the salaries
of the principals in the different schools of
the city is not meeting with popular favor.
The general feeling is that the principals,
whose duties are manifold and arduous, were
not being paid any higher salaries than
they earned and that to reduce them was
poor policy on the part of the board.
Those of The principals seen yesterday
declined to discuss the matter beyond eX-
pressing a hope that the board would re-
scind its action. The salary list as fixed
by Chairman Stewart of the finance COM
mittee is already causing many heartburn
ings and the teachers who expected but
failed to receive increases which they con-
sidered they were entitled to are feeling
hurt. The fact that one teacher in the
kindergarten department was given an in
crease of $40 while others in the sam de-
partment We're only given So, although doing
the same work, is pointed out as being a
case Of favoritism.
The friends of two of the teachers in the
High school who, under the rule Of the
board, were entitled to a raise of s., but
failed to receive it, although President Sims
strongly urged it, are complaining and ask
ing what is the use of the board having
rules II they are not abided by.
The list as amended at the meeting Mon
day night shows that ffty-two teachers re-
ceived increases, while fourteen, the ma
jority of whom are principals of buildings,
suffered reductions. The total increase in
the salaries amounts to 1927 per month,
while the decreases amount to $107. The
