QUIET ON USE
Of CITY HALL
Nothing Heard from Aldermen
Riedy by Those Supporting
Commission Movement.
UP TO FIFTH WARD MAN
Delay is Holding up Definite
Action. .--Naming of Com
mittee to Push Scheme
UP TO FIFTH WARD MAN

Even in view of the fact that the
board Of aldermen at their meeting
Monday night, placed the request of
Harry 8. Medinets, for the use of
the city hall in which to hold a
meeting of the citizens of the city
for the appointing OF a non-partisan
ommittee to manage the commits
sion government movement, in the
hands of Alderman Benjamin A.
Riedy with power to grant the re-
quest for the chamber, nothing has
been heard from the aldermen as
yet in regards to the matter. This
delay on the part of the aldermen
in not saying yes or no Is holding
up the movement to considerable ex-
tent.
In order to get the non-partisan
committee working as soon as pos
sible the meeting to appoint the
committee must be held and in an
effort to get an answer from Alder
man Riedy. Mr.. Medinets yesterday
afternoon sent the following COM
munication to him:
June %. 1920.
my Dear Alderman:
Upon inquiry, / have received
the Information from the city clerks
office that at a meeting of the Board
of Aldermen held last night. the
application for the use of the dis
trict court room in the city hall
building as previously made by me,
has been referred to you with
power.
"As this matter has been before
you for a number of days. and by
this time you have unquestionably
given the subject considerable
thought and consideration, may 1
not ask you for an immediate re-
sponse?
you will appreciate that 1t is
necessary to have your answer i'm
mediately, as the circumstances do
not merit any further delay.
II desire to thank you for the
Icourtesy of your prompt reply.
''Yours very truly,
''HARRY s. MEDINETS."
Up to noon today no reply to this
communication had been received
by Mr.. Medinets.
The movement for commission
form of government will not be al
lowed to remain at a standstill any
longer and whether or not an an
swer is received from Alderman
Riedy, who under the act of the
board of aldermen is responsible for
the granting of the room, the meet
ing is being arranged for next We'd
nesday night. If 1t is impossible to
obtain the city hall council cham
bers for the meeting another meet
ing place will be decided upon and
announced within the next few
days.

SOUND TEACHING
NAY STOP soon
Miss Helen Taft Takes Gloo-
InyNiew Of the School
Outlook.

Miss Helen Taft, daughter OF ex
President Taft, whp is acting dean o
Bryn Mawr, is the youngest Dean ii
the United States. Miss Taft was in
teryiewed recently 81 Washington con
corning the schools Of that city. o
her many comments, the following will
be Of particular interest to citizens =
s'airmont:
III Washington teachers do not
receive higher pay shortly. sound
teaching is going to cease" Miss
Taft said. Children will catch
the spirit Of restlessness and dis.
content and our hopes OF making
the public schools help train citi-
zens TO respect the institutions OF
the country will be futile.
Teachers daily are leaving the
schools in every part of the coun-
try The condition in Washing
tonis very serious, There should
be no teacher here receiving less
than $500 a year. believe d
minimum salary OF $1,S00, such as
we are trying to have at Bryn
Mawrs would be suitable.
Unframed young girls are now
teaching in the schools. This
should not be. The old and ex-
peristeed teachers should be In
duced to remain by living salaries.
Too many good teachers are leav-
ing the system. They can hardly
support themselves on their low
salaries, and gradually all of the
good teachers will leave the
schools TO seek more lucrative
systems"
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1920-04-01

Fairmont schools have lost several
o. her best teachers this year. for the
very reason that Miss Taft points out,
and others are known to be consider
ing offers of much better pay in differ
emit lines of work.
