School Directors Search for
Means to Transport Teachers
to the Outlying Distncts

How to get teachers to the outlying
schools is a matter Of much concern
TO the members Of the Board OF Edu-
cation. 1t was suggested by some OF
the members recently that conyeyances
might be provided in extreme cases, but
last estimate of expenses for the
department shows that this would not
be feasible.
IT is found that the strike is not
materially affecting the attendance in
the schools in the main part of the
city. with the exception of the high
schools, which show q marked falling
of in pupils since the cars ceased 70
run The Girls High School for in
stance, has lost 90 per cent of its pupils
as a result OF the strike. The outlying
districts are not getting along as well
as desired since the strike began, and
1t may be impossible for teachers to
continue to attend some OF them They
cannot AFFORD. at the salary they are
receiving, to pay hack fare.
There has been some talk of having
the coming vacation In the early part
OF September instead of the latter part
of the month in order 10 have il over
with by the time the strike comes to an
end, If the trouble does not last more
than two or three weeks. and that mat
ter will be taken up also at the meeting

out during the big FIRE. and for whom
several thousand dollars was raised
and sent out from the East. are maxi
ing an erort TO learn what has become
OF this fund. for which il is claimed no

been drafted and directed TO the COM
mittee asking that the purpose OF the
donors OF the funds be explained to

up 70 the present time be shown in a
detailed report. A resolution 10 this
last Saturday in the Plymouth Church
on Post street. at which a hundred or
more of the burned out teachers were
present. and a copy OF the resolutions
sent TO the secretary OF the committee
in charge OF the funds.
So far the committee has made no
response 10 the request OF the teachers

resolutions being a letter from the Sec
retary OF the committee TO the effect
that the committee viii hold a meeting

be given the teachers. Following the
receipt of this letter by the secretary
OF the teachers meeting another meet
ing OF the teachers was called 10 be
held Saturday morning OF this week AZ
10 o'clock. in the Plymouth Church II

report asked for. or whether the com
mittee will merely answer with a gen
eral letter OF explanation
The funds in question include a do
nation OF $4,000 which was sent from
New York City, and other donations
from different places The money was
brought 10 San Francisco by a teacher
and turned over 20 committee II is
claimed that but few OF the burned
out teachers have received any benefit
from the money, and further that the
intention Of the donors was that the

those suffering from, the FIRE, and not
used as charity fund
At the meeting Saturday morning
the teachers viii also take up the mat
ter OF the proposed reduction In SAL
aries 1t is claimed that the decisio,
