faction of the regular teachers by the
Board of Education yesterday after

mended by the Teachers Council. The
action came after protracted argu-
ment in which Capt. Julius |. Peyser
appeared as the champion of the
councils schedule.
The vote on the adoption OF the
councils scale was a tie-3 to 3-but
President James IT. Lloyd decided the
question by casting his ballot with
the teachers. Others who voted for
the councils rates We're Capt. Peyser,
Ernest Greenwood and Mrs. William
II. Heron. The negative votes were
cast by Mrs. Marie w. Hodgkins, DIR.
J. Hayden Johnson and Rev. F. l. A.

and s. a day for those in the high

Teachers Union and subsequently the
Teachers Council. AS a result a
