a new matter. He said: Miss Hulitt
had every opportunity to secure Il GER
tificate. She failed to take the cXami-
nation, and qualify herself as Il teach
er. 1t is not morally or legally right,
aud / am opposed to any motion to al
low her salary. 1t is about time teach
ers were given to understand that they
should have some respect for the law
and for this board"
DR.. Reed expressed himself in
similar vein, hut upon learning after
ward, that Miss Hultt had only done
substitute work without knowing how
long her position would last, he with
drew his objection. In the discussion

pay under the name of Mrs. Drake, for
whom she was substituting. Mr.. Kel-

employed by Supt Thomas and Mr..
