TEACHERS SURPRISED
Received Checks for $3.50
When They Expected SIS
Will Be Adjusted.

A misunderstanding has arisen be-
tween some of the eighth grade teach
ers and the board of education over
salaries The teachers claim the board
is trying to get out of paying them the
amount or money agreed to, and the
board members defend themselves with
the statement that it will be all right
in time
Last year the board adopted a rule
that the eighth grade teachers who did
meritOrious work should receive an ad-
vance in salary of $3.50 a month every
year until the maximum of $50 was
reached. This year there are twelve
/ teachers who, under that rule, are en-
/ titled to salaries of SIS. When the
checks were passed around Friday.
made out for S7250. there was a hue
and cry, and some of the teachers re-
fused TO sign the pay roll. Some went
to the office of the clerk and protested.
/ They were told that nothing could be
| done, as the board had not signed any
/ contract with the teachers for the in
crease. The contracts calling for SIS
have been signed by the teachers, but
not by the board.
| President Newman, when approached
/ last night, explained as follows: -Four
of the five members of the finance COM
mittee. as 1 understand it, met the
( other evening and came to the con-
| the board was held they would not
recommend The increase. I've no doubt
the matter will be satisfactorily adj
justed next week"
Mr.. Moyle of the financial commit
tee, with reference to the matter. said
THE rule made last year with regard
! to increasing salaries was reconsidered
/ by the committee on teachers and
! school work, but later, in a meeting of
/ the committee of the whole, a decision
to let the rule remain as it was. grant
ing the increase. was arrived at The
| finance committee met later and some
! Of the member did not understand
that such was the intention of the
| board. In order to be on the safe side
a majority voted to postpone action on
! the signing of the contracts until the
committee of the whole could again
pass on the subject. Mr.. Walker and
Mr.. Bamberger are out Of the city. and
until they return there viii probably
be no meeting. But If it is decided 10
| make the increase in pay. as 1 have
no doubt it will be. the extra $3.50 will
| be given the teachers in their next
| check. Tt is a matter of only $50 a
month to the board. 1t certainly is not
our intention to do the teachers an in
