Board of Education Appoints Teachers and Ratifies Increases All
 Around.
AMOUNTS TO OVER S2s,O0o
Important Changes Made in the Management of the High School-Other Matters
 of Moment.

The advance of the public schools of this city was never more forcibly shown than at the meeting of the board of education last night at which were made the appointments of teachers for the entire school district for the term which begins in September next. Under the report of the committee of schools which was accepted unanimously and without a dissenting voice as to It's most meagre provision, salaries aggre- gating $426,S20 were voted and appont- ments ratified to require that amount of compensation. This is an increase of $29,306 over the present term and of about $S0,000 over the last two terms which, in effect, amounts to the in- crease of $SO,00O in one year. Most radi- cal changes were made in the arrange- ment of the high school which are ex- plained in the report.
 The meeting last night was without doubt the most important of the year. Aside from the appointments and reg ulation of salaries, many other matters came up. The salaries, however, were of most interest and were carefully gone over by the board. The report of school committee which explains itself was read and adopted, item by item. after discussion and at the end adopted as 8 whole. It was as follows:
 The superintendent has appointed. the accompanying list of teachers forj the school year l90S-1909 and the conG mittee recommends the salaries starfd- ing against their names. In presenting this list of annual appointments the committee asks the attention of the board to the following matters:
 | "Q) The following schedule of high school salaries, prepared by the super intendent of schools, Dr. Gushing. head master of the high school and Mir. Kirschner, director of manual training, has been approved by the committee and ir herewith recommended for adop- ton by the board. The committee re- | gards the schedule as practicable ar- rangement of high school salaries pos- sessing the following advantages: CD classification of teachers according to their responsibilities and the value of their services to the school, (2) deh- nite maximum salary for each teacher. and (3) opportunity for the recognition of especially meritorious cases by the transfer of teachers from one class to another. In the accompanying list of appointments the teachers have been classified and their salaries fixed ac- corjing to the provisions of this sched- ule At present but four heads of de- partments have been selected, viz. those of physics, chemistry, commer- cial work and English. Heads of other departments may be appointed later as they are found necessary and as teach- CTS show ability for this kind of work.

NEW HAVEN ROAD DIVIDEND
Two Per Cent. Declared, Although
 Profits Did Not Amount to That.

At the regular monthly meeting of the directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad held in New York yesterday, the regular quar- terly dividend of s2 per share was de- clared This dividend Is payable June 30 to all stockholders of record June l5.
 The earnings of the road during the past three mouths are not large enough to warrant the paying of the two per cent. dividend for the quarter, and the balance will come out of the surplus of previous quarters. The earnings of the summer season are always the largest and this will afford enough to pay the s2 per share in September. The rub will come in the three months fol- lowing September, for in that period tho traffic is light It may then become necessary to lower the dividend, and If SO there will be general cut in salaries.
