TEACHERS OBJECT
TOSALARY BRIEF
Council of High School Asso-
citation Takes Issue With
Education Board.

The council of the High School
Teachers Association has taken issue
with the board of education in GER
tain specifications of the brief which
the board filed with the reclassifica-
tion commission. In statement is
sued today the council said objections
TO the brief had been laid before the
board and that further objections
would be made if such action is deem
ed necessary.
Text OF the Objections.
Following is the text of the objec-
tions now before the board:
81. The council objects to the abol-
ishment of long -esta blished heads OF
departments in high schools, and calls
attention to the fact that the board OF
education proposes at the same time
to establish heads of other depart
ments throughout the high schools
under the name of directors (e. e., OF
music. physical culture, etc.). The
council urges that more power. more
time and greater field of action be
given heads or directors of high school
departments. so that they may func-
ton properly. with power. through
the junior high school. and have at
least advisory functions as to sub
jects. etc, in the elementary schools,
so that the opportunity may be had
for a well connected and developed
system of education throughout.
"2. The council objects to the low
salary limit for group A, and urges
that, if there is no chance of altering
the boards general salary plan. the
maximum of group A be $4,000, in
stead of $2,5O0. The council is of opin-
ion that each yearly salary increment
and the number of such increments
should be larger in the lower group
of salaries than in the upper group.
In this connection attention is called
to the salary schedule for high school
teachers submitted to the board of
education by the High School Teach
ers' Association November 12, 1919,
viz:
Il. Laboratory and similar assist
ants: salary of high school clerks.
III. Group A: s1,SOO to $3.40O, with
eight equal yearly increments.
I'LL Group B: $500 to $4,4OO, with
four equal increments.
Nv. Group C: $4,000 to $1,000. with
four equal increments; heads of high
school departments.
Note: This links up with salaries
proposed by the administrative group.
