TEACHERS TO VOTE
ON PLAN FOR LEAVE
Will Report Attitude on Bill
Being Drafted to Grant
Year for Study.

A special meeting of the Teachers
Council will be held next Tuesday
night to report the attitude OF Wash
ington school teachers on bill being
prepared designed TO grant teach
ers what Is known as sabbatical leave
ii was announced today at the Frank.
lin School.
The delegates to the council, which
met last night at the Franklin School
expressed their general satisfaction
over the terms OF the tentative bill
drafted by Henry Gilligan, chairman
Of the Legislative committee of the
Board of Education. They decided
however they should report back &c
the groups they represent and meet
again Tuesday night to place their
final stamp of approval on the
measure.
Need for the sabbatical leave has
been felt by the teachers for some
time inasmuch as it already il in
force in a number of cities. Briefly.
1t permits teacher at the end of
seven years TO take years leave of
absence for study purposes and to re
ceive the difference in salary between
what she receives and her substitute
Is given. For instance. a high school
teacher with 10 years experience
would receive $1,000 during her year
OF leave. inasmuch as she would be
able to get a 81 800 teacher to fill her
81, 500 position.
Woman school teachers. who have
to contribute Appropriately ia per
cent more to the retirement fund than
man teachers. voiced opposition to
this situation at the council meeting
last night on the ground It was dis
elimination. The reason for the
heavier contribution by the women is
that according to actuarial figures
women who pass 60 years live longer
than men who have attained this age.
