TEACHERS OBJECT
TO BOARD METHODS
Dissatisfaction Openly Ex-
pressed Regarding New Way
of Computing Salaries
Directors Are Not Familiar With
Rule Instituted by COM
missioner 0'Connor

Dissatisfaction is widespread among
the teachers of the city over the entire
lack of information given out by the
board Of education with respect 20 the
basis upon which their salaries have
been computed and allowed. Although
the new schedule went into effect july
1 and although each teacher now
knows the amount she will receive
each month. one months salary having
been paid, the schedule of credits upon
which the salaries are based has not
been made public. Teachers inquirlng
personally at the Office have complained
of discourtesy and few have the tener-
fty to persist in their questioning.
Commissioner O'Connor had virtually
the entire matter in hand this year, the
members of the board voting perfume
torily for the schedules as made out by
him. Commissioner Oliver is said TO
have admitted that he knew nothing
personally about it. Superintendent
Roncovieri admitted yesterday that he
assented to the schedule after the as
surance that the salary of no teacher
would be cut down by it and without
| further going into the details of OCon-
nor's new arrangement. He was con-
| siderably surprised. he said yesterday
to learn that in a number of cases, IN
spite Sof the prevalent increase, some
teachers found their salaries positively
cut from the former amounts The rul-
! ing out of country experience" by
O'Connor is thought by the teachers to
account for the decreases, and some OF
the instructors who have consulted at
/ torneys in the matter were assured the
board had no right TO eliminate Cali
fornia experience from teacher S
credits.
The removal of the fifth grade classes
from the primary schools 10 the so
called grammar schools has also caused
much discomfort. due more TO its
method than the principle of the thing
which is admitted to be correct. II
was given out by the commissioners
| about three weeks ago that counter
balancing exchanges would be made
/ that is, for the fifth grade classes and
! higher classes removed from the '-pri-
mary" schools to the grammar first
grade and other primary grade classes
attending grammar schools would be
| substituted. The change has been all
one way, however, and the primary
schools find themselves denuded OF
/ classes. An incidental evil is that
many parents let their boys drop out
as soon as they complete the course al
the primary school and If the fifth
year be removed this tends TO throw
the boys out one year sooner than
| otherwise.
