BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

The school teachers of the city of New Haven have undertaken in a dig nified and convincing manner to have their salaries so adjusted that their labor will bring to them what it is worth and that some consistent policy shall be introduced with regard to the comparative value of the services ren- dered. There has been no concealment of their plans. They have met open ly, perfected their campaign before the eyes of the public, and in all other ways leaned hard on the good iudg- ment of the public. The result has been that we all understand what it is they demand and upon what basis in reasoning 1t rests.
 The action of the board of education is shaped according to exactly opposite principles, It has before it the report of the committee of teachers setting forth what increase in wages is asked for, and what other cities of a like size and grand list are paying their +oooLa~, rpLo ~o, lo,- ne rI,l,> T.,.-.,, and Courier were told yesterday morn ing that the board was considering the petition, but that there was nothing to be made public about the matter In other words, the board of education in- tends to consider this matter at it's con- venience and in secret sessions, report ing when a conclusion has been reach ed, but withholding all information save that given in the official state 1nents. The openness of the teachers is to be met with evasion, concealment and indifference, not with like open. ness, candor and interest.
 We are frank to say that the public does not take kindly to that method or doing the peoples business. The board of education is a department of the city government and it's commissioners are appointed by the mayor Its bus. mess relates to the needs of the fam lilies of the city and is under no imag inable circumstances business which should be transacted in private, Or the contrary, in this matter of raising and harmonizing the pay of the teach CTS the public has a right to know what the boards manner of approach is, what the different commissioners have to say in advocacy or opposition A great many of the teachers are tax payers themselves; all of them, includ ing the women teachers, are taxpayers indirectly and contribute to the pros perity of the city. They have a right to know the spirit in which their re. spectful and intelligent petition is re.
 I
 vie sincerely hope that the board vii tt once depart from its executive ses sion policy and begin to deliberate up on this important matter in a way tc keep us all informed of the views O it's members and their expression O them.
