IEACHERS ASK RAISE"
W omen Appear at Budget Hearing
and Demand More Moneg.

The appropriation desired by the Board of Edu-
cation received the major consideration yesterday
at the first Of the public hearings accorded by the
Board OF Estimate and Apportionment in cOnnec
ton with the proposed budget for 1910. Edgar s.
Shumway. of the Manual Training School, Brook
lyn, president of the Male Teachers and Princi-
pals Association. spoke for the men teachers in
behalf of the proposal of the Board of Education
TO increase the pay of teachers Miss
Grace Strachan, president of the marlborough AS
ISOLATION of Women Teachers of the City of New
York. also took up the cudgels in behalf Of the
women teachers.
The association of women teachers which I
represent" said Miss Strachan. has not author
lied any men to come here and speak in its be-
half or on behalf of its members. The women
are amply able to speak for themselvs / might
say that they look with suspicion upon any efforts
by men which are Ostensibly extended on behalf
of women We don't want to speak for u.s.
II presume that you that you don't want
any men teachers to speak for you" suggested
Controller Metz
quite so.'' agreed Miss Strachan.
You have objection whatever having
members of the Board of Estimate speak in your
behalf" interiected President MCGOWAN.
Not in the slightest" replied Miss Strachan
hastily
Miss Strachan introduced resolution which had
been passed at the annual meeting of her aSSOcia-
tion and which dSapproved of the schedules pro-
posed by the Board of Education. except those
which tend to lessen the unjust discrimination
against the women teachers existing IN the present
schedules" She then point out that
the budget as proposed includes average in
crease of 1868 IA for each of the $50 men in the
high schools, while the 1871 in the element
airy schools would receive only an average in
crease of $177 o. I'm proportion to their number
in the schools Miss Strachan concluded. the
male teachers get more than average share of
the proposed increases"
James P. Kohler. who is said to be former
secretary to Justice Gaynor, appeared before the
board to protest against granting sO-called man
datory increases of salary to court attaches. THE
sO-called mandatory increases are not mandatory"
he said. Take the matter of additional compensa-
ton, outside of prescribed salaries. The constitu
ton of this state, which, believe. is still in force,
provides that neither members of the Legislature
nor any one else shall provide additional compen-
sation for salaried officials. Yet such additional
compensation is provided. and there is protest,
with this city paying S24OOOOO0 out of the states
$34,OO0OOO taxes"
Controller Metz said that he held the same views
until he learned that if he didn't help provide the
money he would have to go to jail. Il tell you
frankly that don't like the prospect of going to
any such place." he continued.
