PRINCIPALS GIVE NOTICE.
The subject of principals leaving the
employ of the board came UP for con-
sideration. 1t was the opinion OF the
board that any principal should be re
tained as long as he was doing good
work, but In the event Of principal
making up his mind to leave the work
the board would like To be apprised OF
the fact The clerk of the board has
been directed to send the following.
which embraces the views OF the board
on the subject, to every principal in the
city:
When principal makes up his
mind to enter other and more lucrative
fields OF employment and formulates
his plans for other employment during
his last two or three years of service in
the public schools, It is n matter of
grave doubt whether his closing ser
vice reaches the usual standard Of ofIl-
cheney. In fact, IT Is a matter OF com
mon opinion that interest IN school
work lessons somewhat with a conse-
quent deterioration In quality. II prin-
Up the teaching profession and TO en-
ter other fields, they ought to tender
their resignation whenever they arrive
at such conclusion; and If they do not,
the board might consistently request
an end Of their service. when Il Is
known that such Is the case. with our
large buildings and extended field for
service OF all our principals, there
should be a compensation not unworthy
OF the best effort of manhood and wo-
manhood, and when q commensurate
salary is provided. there should be no
hesltancy on the part OF the board I'm
from the system any prin-
cipal who does not measure up to the
full standard OF the system.
