SCHOOL clerks TO
GET AN INCREASE
Those Employed Where There
Are Over Thirty-five
Rooms Benefited. /,

The teachers committee of the
Board of Education yesterday de-
cided to recommend to the board that
the salaries of the. clerks in all
schools containing thirty-five or more
class-rooms be increaseds from 1851
will affect Ave schools during the
current school yea Some time ago
the salaries of the principals of these
schools were increased in recog-
milton of their increased RESPONSE
bility, n it vas urged yesterday
that in view of his fact the clerks
should also enjoy an increase.
The actions of the committee fol-1
lowed the reading of a letter from
the clerks in question, setting forth
their claims for more pay. Four OF
those affected, Miss Virginia Nc
Wood, Miss Sophia E. Van seyfried.
Miss Clara H. Hager and Miss J.
Isabel warrender, appeared before
the committee In person to press
their claims.
The committee will also recommend
to the board hat six class-rooms be
| eliminated from the plans of the pro-
posed South Side High School, so as
to reduce the cost of the structure
by about s25, 900. In view of the high
| bids received for an addition at the
| Newton Street School it was thought
| that the bids for the work at the new
| South Side School, as originally
planned, would be too high.
The German-American Academy,
In Goes place, was offered for sale
| or to lease to the city, and Superin-
tendent Poland was ordered to in
vestigate the matter. The structure
was spoken of by the commissioners
as being centrally located and gem
| orally adapted for use as a school
| for defective children. This will be
looked into by the superintendent.
who will report back to the eoln-
mittee.
T.. X. Sexton was appointed as
sistant city superintendent of schools
and a member of the board of exam
liners from September /. His duties
as secretary to the board of ex-
| aminers will continue as heretofore.

saturday afternoon two alarms Of

places almost simultaneously. One fire
was at the residence Of Mr.. NJ r

Hampton avenues and the other at
Mr.. Geo. ID. Shores barn.
The fire at Mr.. Parkhams residence
turned out to be a big one, the whole
OF the upper story and root Of the
building being a mass of flame when
the hose wagons arrived on the
scene. There was some hu ,trng ia

men and it was not long before the
two men in charge Of the nozzles had
all that they could do to hold the
stream Of hose steady. A third line
was run from the hydrant on the cor
ner Of Haskell street and with these
combined lines it was ont long before
the fire was under control. The ad-
Jacent residence occupied by Mr.. G.
n. Dorm was badly scorched on one
side, but never caught afire.
All Of the upper story Of the resi-
dence was burned off and much
damage was done to most Of the low
er story by the fire, smoke and water.
while most Of the furniture down.
stairs was saved, almost all Of that
upstairs was lost in the fire. The
fire started from some unknown cause
ir one Of the closets Of the second
story and whel the do1r was opa1ed
quickly spread 10 othe' rarts Of the
building. The luildng and furniture
were insured.
The second fire for which the first
alarm was turned in was at Mr.. Geo.

guished before the arrival of the hose
wagon, a few buckets Of water being
sufficient TO quench the fire.
