Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, July 6.-Compli-
ance with the request of the CITY s
public school teachers that their sal
aries be paid by the calendar month
beginning with the new school term
instead of by the school month as
heretofore was granted last evening
by the educational board.
The matter, which had proved one
of the most perpleXing questions that
the board had to deal with in arrang-
ing for the ensuing years school work
was disposed of by the adoption Of a
resolution in which the calendar month
payments are promised the teachers on
condition of their living up to the let
ter of the terms of their contracts.
The teachers will be required to cover
their contracts with a bond to insure
their sticking to their positions, and
any teacher who fails to furnish sure
ties within sixty days after school
opens will not be eligible to salary
payments under the new ruling.
The board instructed the city attor-
ney to prepare contracts for the teach
ers in accordance with the terms of
the resolution.
The following appointments were
confirmed: Elizabeth Stafford, former
ly Of the Detroit high school, CONNER
cial department instructor; Miss Ada
Nynan, a Palo Alto graduate, to be
assigned to grade department. The
board made arrangements to have per-
manently the use of quarters in the
CITY hall as offices for the school super
intendent and his staff.
