manager It was also found that the
girls employed at the fountain had
on several occasions used the foun-
tain towel to wipe glasses with.
The other two places visited were
in practically the same condition a.
the first. Dirty towels were used to
wipe the utensils. On one occasion
the same glass was used for water
three times, and the only cleaning
given 1t was putting it in cold water
for q few seconds.
In these two places, also. the man

ployes.

Investigations. He says practically

later.
The inspector viii testify that these
places use dirty dishes, dirty towels
to wipe glasses, do not use the steril-
izer on all occasions, and are gen.

THE Board Of Education does not

public or other sources for considers
ton at the Wednesday meeting after
Monday Of the same week"
This was the statement offered to-
day by Secretary Hine. of the Board
of Education, as the boards reason
for not taking action or recognising
the receipt of a resolution OF protest
from representatives OF the teachers
in every high school yesterday after
noon.
The resolution protested, in terms
far from mild, against the delay IN
the sending of the May pay checks OF
the 2,20O public school teachers OF
washington. ana asked that an In
curry be made to.place responsibility
for the delay. The resolution was
adopted at a meeting Of the repre-
sentatives of the 2 200 teachers In
the Mckinley High School, at 1 p.
m. yesterday.
No Exceptions To Rule.
Mr.. Hine was asked If there were
no exceptions to the. rule, for ex-
ample in case Of the receipt OF .
communication presenting the re-.
quests of 2,2O0 teachers, but he said
that the rule had stood for a long
time, and has far as he knew had
never been set aside.
The teachers were indignant today
when they learned that their wishes
were not even considered by the
Board of Education.
when the public school teachers Of
Washington wish to address a COM
munication to the board, their COM
munication should receive some at
tention-shouId be recognized as hav-
ing been received anyway" said Miss
Alice Deal, president Of the High
School Teachers Union today. IF
the sesolution were from the two
teachers unions representing only so
per cent of the teachers, the boards
action might be understood. But It
is almost beyond understanding to
have the protests of the entire teach
ing corps fail to receive recognition
from the board.
Had Questions Ready.
DIR. John Van Schaick, former pres
ident. and member OF the BOARD %
Education, was prepared 70 ask sew
eraI questions concerning the lS-s
in the senolns VI 1hS - =. t,,.g
to the teachers-based upon the Iacts
in the resolution.
He was unable to ask the Dues
lions. however, when the communl-
cation was not brought up at the
meeting. ~.
Teachers believed today that Mr..
Hine would be prepared to say tnaI
the envelope containing the resolu-
ton had not been received. but tue
excuse for not presenting the reso-
I,,tion m the board yesterday, was
unexpected and caused considerable
comment.
The. question OF organizing
teachers council to act in an advisory
capacity to the Board of Education
was discussed at the secret session
Of the board, preceding the public
session, but was not finally decided
upon.
