in North Yakima.
! Business opened with a rush at the
meeting of the school board of the
North Yakima district at the high
! school last night when the committee
on teachers reported resolutions ia
voring music and drawing in the
public schools of the city with a SUI
pcrvisor for each, that domestic sci
ence and manual training be retained
and that there be no change in the
commercial course. The committee
consists of Messrs. Knerr, Watt and
Adams, who constitute q majority of
the board.
Mr.. Fechter at once objected to the
resolution, declaring it to be beyond
| the authority of the committee to
make such a suggestion, as no refer
ence had been made to it of any such
matter. He called for the rules show
| ing the authority and scope of the
work of the committee.
Report Is Withdrawn.
Mr.. Robertson backed up Mr.
Fechter instantly by raising a point
of order that the question had not
been referred to the committee and
was therefore not open to be reported
upon. There was considerable dis
cussion one way and another. the
contention of Messrs. Fechter and
Robertson being that a committee of
the board, even if it comprised ma
jorty of the board had no right to
determine upon matters of policy not
referred to it for a recommendation
Members of the committee pointed
out that they had merely been acting
in manner necessary to the prelim-
mary work of determining the teach
ers needed for next year AS the
matter was not vital at the moment
they readily agreed to withdraw the
resolutions, action to be taken on
them, or on the subject generally, at
special meeting to be held in two
weeks.
A long discussion on the salary
contract, which provides for payment
in II monthly instruments followed
but was dropped when it was ascer-
tanned that the system is in use in
other and larger cities in this state
and elsewhere and apparently is APP
proved by teachers, once they have
become accustomed to it.
Says Children Are Backward.

studies from the school work VS.
