the luster of hairless head is a
brilliancy of the spirit and the mind
rather than the flesh alone. Not hay

Delay of Education
Board May Hold Up
Teachers Pay Raise
Comptroller Craig Declares
Appropriation Must Be
Obtained at Once 10 Get
Increase Before January |

Neglect on the part of the Board Of
Education to file calculations or request
additional appropriations of the Board
OF Estimate to cover the 5000 900 in
crease IN salaries granted to the school
teachers under the Lockwood Donohue
bill, passed by the last Legislature. NAV
delay indefinitely the payment of the
increases Comptroller Charles L..
Craig made this announcement vester
day in a letter to Aiming S. Prall,
president of the Board of Education
The Comptroller declared that unless
immediate action was taken by the
board in the matter the teachers would
not receive their increases in salaries
until the first of the year.
The Comptroller called the attention
OF Mr.: Prall to the fact that he in
formed him of the necessity of re-
questlng the additional appropriations
as long ago as the first of last Nav.
just after the Lockwood Donohue bill
became a law. Lest the teachers be led
TO believe that the Board of Estimate
or the Board of Aldermen were respon-
slble for the delay, Comptroller Craig
declared he had sent copies of his let
Ter to Mr.. Prall to every one of the
$4,000 teachers in the city.
1t is doubtful if any special arrange
ment can be made now to obtain the
required appropriations, as the Board
OF Estimate has adjourned to Septem-
Der "a and the Board of Aldermen has
ADJOURNED Tor the summer. An effort
PROBABLY Will be made, however, to call
an emergency session of both boards.
g. Up to the present, the Comptroller
SAID IN his letter, the only thing the
ooard of Education has done in regard
10 the increase in salaries is to request
the appropriation by the Board of EST
mate and the Board of Aldermen of
9l,4Oo:o00, the amount necessary to nav
the old increases for the months of
June and July, 1920, which have been
PAID, but nothing has been done to pro
wac Tor the remaining months Of this
year; Inc increases under the Lock
wood Donohue bill were to be effective
rom august l; The Comptroller fur
ther stated in his letter:
The Board of Education has M an
preparation whatever from which to
pay any part of such increases, the
provisions contained in the 1920 BUDGET
belng merely sufficient and solelv for
the purpose of paying the salaries in
effect on January l, 1920. The lapse
OF more than three months since the
Lockwood-Donohue bill took effect
without any application by the Board
OF Education for. the necessary moneys
70 meet Its requirements might create
doubt in the minds of some as to
whether it was the intention of the
Board of Education to pay the in
creased salaries provided for bv the
Lockwood Donohue law.
"ln order that injury to the teachers
and other employees of the Board of
Education may be minimized, permit
me to urge upon your board the taking
OF immediate action to procure the APP
propriations in question"
