DetweiIer on Selections.
Objections to using the teachers In the
day schools ives made by Member Det-
weller after the fact was mentioned that
there were three times as many applicants
for positions in the night schools than there
are places to fill. He said he thought night
school teachers should be selected from I'M
employed persons on the assigned lists.
II do not believe It is right to give the
work to teachers who labor all day in their
class rooms" said. he. 81 fail to see how
they can do justice TO either the day or
night work under the conditions"
Member Rice said that the night school
staff was picked om,the point of fitness for
peculiar and difficUit work and on the
strength of previous demonstrations to this
effect. ,.-T
This same question was raised by Mr..
Detweiler In the committee room last year"
said Superintendent Davidson. 1T am ready
to indorse the proposition provided we have
material suitable TO supply the night
schools. This va have not. For that rea-
son we are forced to select from the day
forces strong teachers who are able physic-
ally and mentally to stand the extrs work
and at the same time render efficient serv-
ice. The thought has been to make the
night force stronger by not changing the
teachers with one exception these ten
were in the night schools last year and
proved themselves capable of performing
we'll the tasks imposed"
This ended the discussion and the recon-
mendations of the committee on teachers
were adopted.
