Education Board Head Calls
G. H. S. Building Unworthy
of Pupils Who Go There.

It's vacation time today for 1872 sweet
girl graduates of the high school
I'VE must outlive the narrow ard
antiquated sentiment of woman's low
standing. .profes sionally. When women
do the same high class work that mon
DO they should be paid equally well,
said Colonel Walter r. Daley. presi-
dent of the board of education, in de-
livering diplomas to the graduates. !
The teachers in the city high schools
should be paid upon a basis of merit
and not of sex.--I advocate an imme-
tiiate REIMBURSEMENT of the scale of sal
tary, one that shall be fair to the teach
er who is doing The work and I intend
to work for this as long as l am con-
nected with the board of education or
have any influence at all in school af-
fairs
To-day the faculty of the Girls High
school is receiving most inadequate
compensation. The work they do in
educating the young women of Atlanta
is certainly as HARD and certainly as
important as that done by the male
teachers in the Boys High school, and
yet because the faculty of the Girls
High school is composed of women they
receive an average salary far below
that of teachers in, the Boys High
school, who are men
Urges New Building For Girls.
The present building in which the
young women of Atlanta are educated
is monstrosity and I advocate an i'm
mediate issue of bonds for schools alone
so that we may house these girls in a
building that will be worthy of the pu-
pills it contains"
