Better salaries for the High School teachers, or some of thorn, at least, ami Increases for the grades will be paid by the School Board 'this year.

Tlie mot last night and the most important'matter was the adjustment of salaries. There were some oratorical fireworks about economy, most of which will be lost because' the Board has no Congressional Record like the tariff tinkers, but in the end the increases went and there wasn't a dissenting vote. The increases, in almost every in- Ktance, were the reward of efficient work during tlie past term and recognition of more difficult work ahead for next year. grades, the teachers are paid by a sliding scale which automatically increases tlie re-employed until they reach the maximum limit of $00. The provjs- ion permks the Board to exceed'the maximum figure by special action- Principal P.

G. Masters of the High School was given the highest increase. He will get. $240 a year more in the future, but instead of working nine months he will work .12. Besides, he will have nine teachers under him instead of five.

When the motion was put forth to pay Mr. Masters the same salary as last year, $1-10 a- month for the term, Director Rose submitted an amendment that he get 5125 a month for the year. After some discussion the resolution was passed although it read a year instead of the monthly stipend. In the discussion there was practic- a no adverse comment. It was generally recognised by the BoaVtl 'that the increase deserved and that the services of Mr.

Masters would be during the summer as well as whoa schol.is.in session. When the salary of P. G. Cober was suggested the same as last year, $100 per month, Rev. A.

J. Ashe arose and suggested that in view of Mr. Cobor'H efficient work, he be given an' it. as nnr Tnnnj-ly assented to by the Board and r. Colier's salary established at per month.

The salary ot S. P. Ashe was then put forth and his salary was sot $100 per month. There' was a a i silence between the iime the salary was suggested and the vote. No one ventured tn suggest an increase for Director Ashe's son.

Lena Zufall and Miss Alice Ncal were suggested at Lhe same snl- hry as last year, $S5 a month, but It suggested that neither was anxious to at that salary. This caiisoil Director Darr to make a long speech about watching the payroll and being careful not to go over the two per cent, limit. He said the Board would be sorry to lose these teachers, as they" are good ones but If others.could be secured for $S5 ley should be employed. Thomas called attention to the fact that these increases were not sending the payroll above last year. The.

saving in teachers' salaries this year is $2G5 a month, he said. Darr and Ashe then arose and got after the Finance Committee but tiiat body was not ready for a report. "I can't vote for these increases until I hear from the Finance Committee," Darr declared. The salaries of Misses Zufall and Neal were put to a vote and $90 a month was carried. No one voted against Lhe motion.

Miss Saruh Morrison, commercial teacher, was given $76, the same as last year, while Miss Helen Carroll, a new High School teacher, was given $75 a month. B. B. an-other new teacher, was voted Ashe arising to comment that the man is worth every cent of It. Clark Kis- lor, "who will teach this year for the first time, was started at $SO, while Miss Ada M.

Neal, assistant in English, was given the same amount. The. directors were divided whether to give Miss Neal $75 or $SO hut President Gallagher declared the SSO men had it and there was no objection. The salary of A. B.

Morton was'fix- ed at $00, the same as last year. Dr. White broke in long enough to comment that-a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music, and a good one, too, rf could be secured for $75 a month, the salary for Morton went through. Miss Emma V. Miller, the clerk to the principal, will receive $-10, a as last year.
