ton committees to prepare such a
bill, which Senator McCarran,
Democrat, Of Nevada has promised
to submit to Congress next month.
The raising Of the pay of defense
training instructors from SIPS an
hour to 50 for an 8-hour day and
$3.50 for a part-time day was done
by the board in answer to requests
made last week by Chairman Ran
dolph of the House District Com
mittee. Mr.. Randolph charged that
lack OF instructors was begging
down the program and the board
was not availing itself of all the
funds it had at its command to pay
the teachers. Money for the higher
rates of pay will be obtained on
grant from the ONCE of Education.
The board also asked the Com.
missioners to take out of the 1914
budget estimates the same prohibit
ton against use of school buildings
for nursery schools which Congress
officially repealed this week. If the
language is not taken out of the
estimates for next year, he said, the
schools will find themselves in the
same predicament in 1914 of not
being able to care for children I'M
der years of age.

School has been held up because Of

Board Authorizes Bill
For Upward Revision
OF Teachers Pay
Stormy Discussion Fails
To Settle High School
Openings at 9 O'Clock

The Board OF Education yesterday
took steps to insure that a bill in
cooperating both raises in pay for
present living costs and higher pro-
fessional base pay standards fol-
District teachers will be presented
to Congress next month.
At the same time the board
authorized doubling the pay of
teachers in the national defense
training program to make their
wage equal to those OF similarly
skilled industrial workers.
Most Of the board meeting, how
ever. was given over to a stormy
discussion of proposal to put back
the opening hour Of four District
high schools to 9 am. to accommo-
date stenographic students carrying
part time studies in the morning
and part-time jobs in the afternoon
Decision Postponed.
So many board members objected
to changing the hours for all the
students in these schools to ac-
commodate only part of those en-
rolled that the proposal was laid
over to the next meeting for fur
ther study Superintendent of
Schools Frank w. Ballou explained
that he might be able to solve the
problem by starting just these spe-
cial stenographic students at $3.50
am, or by some adjustment of
their cIlrric,I1a

DR.. Ballou received permission
from the board to allow high school
seniors who have not yet COM
pleted their required English and
history to substitute pre-induction
courses for these other required
subjects. In addition of both pre-
induction and increased physical
education courses this year, he said,
have overloaded a few Of the seniors
who left some of their required
language, science and history until
their last year.
Perturbation courses include the
fundamentals of mechanics, cleo
tricity, physics and shop work. DR.
Holmes said that these could easily
be substituted for the required
science and that only those who had
to substitute pre-induction for Eng
lish and history would miss any OF
their normal instruction by the new
order. He added that few seniors
were affected but that some authori-
cation was required to permit prin-
cipals to excuse these students from
otherwise required courses.
Preparation of Bill Authorized.
Commenting that only the teach
ers were left out of the compensa-
tory pay bill passed by Congress on
Tuesday. DR.. Ballou added that 1t
was time for bill revising upward
the entire teacher pay scale here.
The board authorized DR.. Ballou
and its own personnel and legisla-
