PLAN THAT WOULD HAVE HIT
TEACHERS FALLS THROUGH
The latest plan of assault of the
board of education upon the jobs and
salaries of teachers seems to have
died.
A plan was all cooked up to bring
forward a resolution giving the board
power to dismiss teachers without
cause, to change salaries at will and
to give the board such liberty in fix
ing salaries that it could wait till the
middle of the school year, cut salaries
and deduct for the cut, dating the cut
from the beginning of the year.
Last Friday the building and
grounds committee passed such a
resolution affecting janitors. Joseph
Holpuch, board member, asked Atty
Shannon if the same sort of reso-
luton could not be made to apply to
the teachers. Shannon said it could
and appeared before the board yester-
day for the purpose of giving such
an opinion.
Holpuch did not put the question.
Miss Margaret Haley, president of the
Teachers Federation. says the sup
porters of the resolution lost their
nerve and backed down. Miss Haley
had the federation arrayed for battle
if any attempt had been made upon
existing rights of teachers.

FROM SCHOOL BOARD JOB

At Special meeting OF the school

from her position as asst sup't of
schools and Chas. Lowry, a district

Miss Murphy was appointed district
superintendent.
Town talk is that the real reason
for Miss Murphy's removal is because
of her religion.
