SCHOOL TEACHERS ELECTED
Board Chooses Those Not on the Perma-
nent List
OPEN MEETING WITHOUT FEATURE
Annual Task of Selecting Corps in
Addition to the Established Mem
bership Ia Easily Disposed
of This Time.

Comparatively few changes we're made
in the eaching corps of the Omaha schools
at the annual election of teachers by the
Board of Education last night. All jan
itors with the exception OF two were reN
employed for another year. The high school
stan with one exception was reelected,
there was no change In the kindergarten
instructors except to add a few; principals
Of the grade schools remain as formerly,
while there was a respectable addition to
the list of grade teachers, to replace in
structors who have dropped out during the
last year for various reasons. Several grade
teachers were let out. The action OF the
board was practically unanimous, the.whole
matter having been threshed out in secret
committee session which ended at $50 All
the appointments are for one year. The
assignment and salaries OF the high school
teachers are the same for the next year,
save that Miss Edith Higgins is appointed
physical director, vice Miss Gertrude Ma
comber, who will resign to be married.
Amber Place wants a school.
A petition signed by thirty-nine interested
property owners asked that the Amber
Place school be rebuilt at Forty-third and
CASTELAR, streets. This school was con-
solidated with the Eckerman and West
Side schools into the Beals building, which
was destroyed by fire last winter. Now
that the school is to be rebuilt the Amber
Place people want a separate institution.
The communication was referred to the
boundaries committee.
The introduction of a resolution by Chair
man Funkhouser of the high school COM
mittee seeking TO change the number of
periods which high school instructors shall

was frowned upon by the board and laid
over until the next meeting, June 20, even
though Mr.. Funkhouser explained at some
length that his committee had made a
thorough personal investigation and based
its recommendations on facts. He said the
investigation had shown that It is impos-
sible for a high school teacher to do the
| full amount OF work required and retain
health.
Member Mcintosh objected because he
said the cost Of teaching in the high school
would be increased 20 per cent.
Chairman Funkhouser maintained that
only four OF five more teachers would be
necessary.
Member Homan wanted time for con-
sideration and said he had heard no COM
plants from any high school teachers.
Member Stubbendorf said the intention OF
the superintendent and principal is to en-
large the classes greatly and thus cover
the work in hand. Nevertheless the motion
to arrest sction carried. too
II was decided TO open sealed proposals
for printing and supplies at noon July 6
