MRS. ROCKWELL
 WINS A DOLLAR
Is Placed on Herald's Poetry
 Honor Role

Mrs George P. Rockwell of 56 Grove Hill gets the last dollar to be awarded by the judge. Yes today Is the finish of the contest. Some 800 poems were handed in during the term of awards, and there were, in deed, many disputes in the Herald of- fee over the merits of the offerings.
 True to his word, the judge will hardly recognize that Wooding- Roby fight. Doc. Wooding gets a little mite sahcastic toward the judge in a bit of his poetry, and the Judge, in his brief, will be forced to inform Doc Wooding that he has been "kidded by experts" The judge has been criti- cized enough without the Doctor put ting in his oar. Since some people have started printing poetry, the judge has had to buy a new waste basket
 A pleasant time has been had by all concerned in this contest, and the judge has made many friends. Speak ing of friends. It leaked out that the judge was going down to Cromwell one weekend. One of his friends of the New Britain Rifle club wrote him the following note:
 Dear Judge:-
 I hear you are to go to Cromwell next week. That is wonderful. have many good friends in Cromwell, all who are members of the Rifle club over there, and they are all good skates. I wrote and told when you were to be there, and told them what ever they did not to miss you.
 Yours,

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
 OPPOSES PAY CUTS
Judge Gafney Questions Meeting Boards Powers in This Matter

T do not concede that the city meeting board is superior to the school board" said Judge Bernard F. Gaffney, president of the school com- mittee, land I believe that the school board should conduct it's affairs in its own way as regards the proposed cut in the pay of the school force, voted Ut the meeting of the city meeting board"
 Judge Gaffney and Secretary F. M. Pratt led the opposition yesterday aft ernoon at special meeting of the tchool board called to discuss the proposed cut in the salaries of the teachers. The stand of Judge Gaffney and MT. Pratt was approved by Mrs. A. e. Kimball, Herbert H. Pease and Superintendent s. H. Holmes. F. C.. Goodwin and F. e. vibberts voted against the motion made by MT. Peese to recommend that no changes be made fin salaries at this time.
 Action Not Final.
 The action of the school board, however, does not dispose entirely of the salary question. At the next regu- lar meeting the matter will be taken up. Judge Gaffney explained when the meeting opened that he would rule out of order any action to change or alter any rules or past ac- ton of the board, because being a special meeting, the board could not amend rules except at a regular meet Ing.
 Secretary Pratt Speaks.
 Secretary Pratt was called upon by khe chairman to express his views on the proposed cut by the city meeting board. His opening argument was for no change In the present salaries.
 "Our city is not paying more than other cities our size and none of them have yet taken any action on the re- duction of salaries" said MT. Pratt. 'eThere is no immediate extra supply of teachers handy and the cutting of salaries would mean that New Brit ain would undoubtedly lose some of its best teachers. A teachers work is a profession the same as the doctor Or lawyer. They must care for our thildren. The doctor or lawyer has not reduced his professional rates. me only way to continue LHe pTeociiI standard of the schools is to adhere to the present salary and adopt the same schedule for next term"
 Time For Economy.
 ~There is time now for economy" eontinued the secretary. ''but the school department has not been wasteful of it's money and with good figuring, has managed to make the appropriation. I would hate to see any of the special courses in the schools thrown out for the reason of economizing as these subjects give the children a chance the other pupils get in the larger cities. Personally, would like to see them get all that Is coming to them and this probably would be denied If the teachers sal aries were cut and they left us, mean ing that the board would have to get less efficient teachers for the salary offered them"
 Vibberts Suggests Cut.
 MT. Vibberts followed with an ar-
New Britain herald., 1922-03-25

people had voiced their opinions at the city meeting board.
 Move Tor Cut.
 Mir. Vibberts made q motion for a 10 per cent cut in the salaries. For a moment it was not seconded and then Mir. Goodwin seconded the mo- tion, explaining that he did so just for discussion, Joseph M. Halloran wanted to know if the schools could be properly conducted on an appro- priation of 10 per cent less than the amount sought without deficit at the end of the year. Chairman George Traut answered this question saying it would he Impossible to do so. Superintendent Holmes mentioned the fact that the school board appropria- tion in the budget called for sS10,000 and $95,000 has been cut from it by the board of finance and taxation and the city meeting board. There was no particular point where the expenses could be cut as the budget was pre- pared carefully and not padded.
 New Britain Laughing Stock.
 Tt would be impossible to run the SCHOOLS Ol NeW bTlldlIl dS we DelleVe the people of the city want them" said Superintendent Holmes. We would make New Britain the laughing stock by cutting out several subjects the state does not require. I know it would impair the teaching force badly If we cut their salaries. The best teachers will be the first to go and we would have to give them a good recommendation and they would not have a hard time seeking other positions"
 S Move to Amend Motion.
 MT. Pease made Q move to amend by substitution, the motion of MT. Vibberts. The amendment was to rec ommend that no change be made in the salary schedule at present. The motion was second by MT. Pratt and MT. Vibberts and MT. Goodwin voted against it.
