The question of increasing the sal
aries of several of the graded schooi
teachers was the foremost one dis
cussed at the regular meeting of the
city school board last night. For
some time the board could not agree
on the Interpretation of the resolution
passed at the beginning of the year,
governing the salaries of the teachers.
Under the old resolution, a teacher
was entitled to the maximum salary
of her grade providing she had had
two years experience or more in the
Marion graded schools. The new
resolution does not specify that the
teacher shall have gained her exper-
ience in Marion schools but simply
demands two years experience i'm any
graded school. Several of the teach
ers found that under the new reso-
luton, they had had the necessary
experience to demand the maximum
salary.
Miss Pearl Campbell, teacher of the
9th grade at the Forest Lawn build
ing, was among the first to discover
that she was entitled to more salary
Miss Campbell gained her experience
largely In the West but when elected
the board gave her the advantage of
her experience and allowed her the
maximum salary of the third grade,
to which department she was assign
ed. This year she was placed at the
head of the sixth grade where the
maximum salary is S. more or $50
a month. btu did not receive any in
crease. After carefully considering
the matter. the board determined that
she was entitled to the difference OF
the grade salary. and voted her the
increase.
Miss Eta Walters OF Silver street.
sixth grade, receiving $45 a month,
reported that she had had two years
experience and asked that the board
increase her salary to $50 month.
Miss Walters, like Miss Campbell,
did not gain all of her experience
In the local schools and under the
old resolution. Her petition would
be absolutely worthless. A part of
tme-haard held that owing to the
fact that she was hired under the
old resolution that it would govern
her salary. Mr.. Hill, however, in
terpreted that when the new reso-
luton was passed the old one was
void. The board found that the
only thing to do was to vote Miss
Walters the increase.
Miss Mayme Weber, teacher at the
1st grade, Silver streret was voted an
increase from $40 to $45 per month
In salary on the strength of the same
existing conditions.
Miss Berdine Millisor employed as
assistant to Miss Zelda Ramer, az
Olney Avenue, petitioned the board
for raise, claiming that she has
been placed in sole charge of a grade
and while doing the work of a regu-
lar teacher is only receiving the
salary of an assistant. The board
decided That Miss Millisor was not
expected to do the work of regular
teacher and can only be paid the
regular assistants salary of $25 a
month.
The board instructed Mr.. Frank to
purchase the magazines of current lit
erature' for the high school library at
cost OF $12.7O. Mr.. Frank in
formed the board that G. Is. Kelsey,
teacher OF science in the high school
had asked for new apparatus for the
physics labratory. Mr.. Frank held
bill noting the needed improve
ments and the cost totaled Sat. 80.
Mr.. Waddell put motion to the ef-
feet that the matter be placed in the
hands OF the supply committee. De-
spite the fact that the chairman re-
peatedly called for second, there was
none put and the motion was neces-
sarily dropped.
Mr.. Frank asked the boards opin-
ion on number of cases where he
deemed that 1t would be necessary to
charge students tuition.
