particular attention to the case OF q.
n. Dalrymple, a teacher in the East
Side High School who examined
forty papers and supervised for a
day. making his bill $12. and, accord
ing to the report presented. the ex-
animation and supervision all took
place on May 16.
President Taylor said that as Mr..
Dalrymple got his regular salary for
that day. he was really being paid
three times. He said that he consid-
cred this practise of paying the
teachers for this work a waste of
money, as he considered that they
ought to do this work without extra
pay.
Commissioner Brown differed with
the president and said that they could
not expect the teachers to do this
work without extra pay. The teachers
were allowed the extra money
