 Report of the Committee on Schools, May 24, 1907.
 The committee reports that owing to S the fact that the ist of Normal school \ graduates, from which about twenty appointments will this year be made,
 
 N fact that the work of several local x candidates for positions in the New A Haven schools has not yet been in- M spected, the annual list of appoint x ments is not ready to be submitted to the board. The committee recom- mends that special meeting of the board be held not later than June [, at which this annual list of appoint ments may be submitted. At that time the committee will also present it's re- port on teachers salaries. Relative to this report the committee 2 wishes to state that it has endeavored l to make a thorough investigation of the salary situation in & fair spirit and T to formulate such salary schedule i as will meet present conditions. The T committee was unanimous from the T start in it's belief that an increase in salaries should be granted The inves- tigation made necessary, however, the study of numerous details and has # made impossible an earlier report.

 Committee on Schools # MT. Moran when interviewed later Y stated that the committee had made ~ up tentative framework of the ' schedule but still had the details to H fill in. When asked if the increase would be on the basis of an entirely new arrangement or a general percen- tage increase on salaries now received, he replied that he felt he could not
 
 away too much at present. The com E4 mittee, he said, would probably recom- mend some date for the new schedule i! to go into operation but that date would be subject to the action of the full board and also of the board of finance.
 The board took up the recommends tion that special meeting be called for a date not later than June '. Sen ator Eli Whitney chairman of the board, announced that he would have to leave for Jamestown on June and could not be here for that date. A < full meeting of the board was desired It was finally voted that specia, # meeting be called for June 7th to make the appointment of teachers for the year which could not be made last night because the list of standings al the Normal school was not ready. Al this meeting the schedule of salaries will be reported. Another meeting is set for June F, when final action or the schedule will be taken by the board The next regular meeting will fall or June IA, but the date was moved up al Frederick Betts announced that hC could not be present on that date.
 Colonel Ullman began an inquiry in. to the system used in selecting the new teachers for the schools. Superin tendent Beede explained the custom adopted. The list of the students a the Normal school he said, is furnished and a number of New Haven girls ap proximately twenty from the first hal of the list are chosen. After going about half way down the list, MT Beede said, there was big risk. SC those who were in the second half wer informed that they must qualify py teaching elsewhere first Then thos who applied to teach in this city arr visited and their work noted and i approved they are appointed. In ad dition to this a few out of towl teachers are secured. "The first dut! of the board" he declared, lis to pro vide efficient school teachers not to fur nish positions to persons seeking them."
