corporated in bill that may be sent
| tomorrow to the legislative committees
| of Congress. when the Teachers
Council met with the board of educa-

ers. officers. librarians and clerks) re-
ceiving $1,000 or less yearly: 40 per cent

This is said to cover the pay increases
for medical inspectors, nurses, janitors
and matrons.
Dr. E. c. KimbalI, representing the
thirteen supervising principals of the
District system. intimated that the
reduced increase in salary proposed
| for these administrative officers might
| be unacceptable. 1t is said he warned
the board of education of the pos
sibIe effects of the reduction in
original estimates.
DIR. Van Schaick Pledges Aid.
Dr. John Van Schaick. jr president
of the board. who read the text of the
| bill. promised to do what he could to
have the bill enacted without further
reduction.
The salary schedule in the measure is
based on the schedule filed by the board
with the salary reclassfication commits
sion. Reductions were made during the
course of conferences on the bill be-
tween the board of education and a
special salary subcommittee of the
School Betterment Council, headed by
Charles l. Corby.
special salary subcommittee of the
board discussed emergency increases in
salary with Commissioner Brownlow
more than a month ago. The committee
men indicated that the pay of school
employees ought to be raised about 81
per cent. They learned at once from
Mr. Brownlow that a 80 per cent in
crease was the limit Congress would
approve. 1t was assumed then by the
school employees that they could expect
an approximate so per cent increase all
along the line.
