Their offer to keep the funds free of charge was of itself suspicious. He hoped the bill would be printed, and its consideration | postponed. Mr. Given disclaimed auy inten- tion on the part of the committee to hurry the | passage of the resolution. They had consalte-d | the officers of the various banks in the city, and all made acharge for keeping the funds ex. cepting the First National Bank.

Mr. Noyes, from Committee on Schools, to whom bad been referred the Mayor's commu- nication on the subject, reported the following joint resolution in relation to German schools - Be st resoived. &c.. That the Trustees of Pub- | lie Schools of the City be, and they are hereby juested to consider the propriety of estab- lishing one or more schools in this city where German and other children can be taugnt to Fr nchmen or any one else. is to be so favored, let al® nat ei of English.

He thought the Board of Trastes of public schools the best judzes of the adyisa- schools. He enlogized the German children, and theGerman private schools ia this cily, where the children study mm both languages. He also referred to the cosmepolitan schools im'San Francisco and tion that Ger- schools encouraged clanishness erro- man | neous, as the bringing of the American and German children cogether was. calculated to | destroy all feelings of clannishness, and pro- move assimilation. ‘Mr. Noves said.as the gentleman from the Fourth Ward had intimated something about dedging on the part of the committee, he would say very frankly for himself, that with his present light on the question he was entirely epposed to the project. While our school sys- tm is tm its present crippled condition it was sot judicious to throw additional burdeas upon it We are unable at this time to afford instruc- Gon. even ip the rudiments of the English lan. guage, to one-balf the children of the city. Until we ean do that, we should not undertaie ‘© teach German in the public schools. In the ‘wealthier cities—San Francisco, St. Louis, and olber cities, where German is tanght in the public scbools—they were able to educate all their children in the public schools. Here, ip cons+quence of the peculiar burdens we labor under—the large number of children of non- residents, colored people, and non-taxpayers generally —we have noi been able thus far to do this. The question was one, however, desery- ing respectiul consideration; and he thought it, therefore, very proper that it should be referred to the Board of stees of Public Schools, who. having the entire school interests of the city in charge, would be able to report intelligently upon Ld desirability and feasibility of under- taking it. Mr. Elvans very much doubted the propriety of referring the resolution to » Board of Tras tees, of which two members had signed a ¢: Uficate, which was before the Board this even- ing, that William Buchly “done” certain work. Mr. Moore did not wish to elevate the children of emigrants above our own, which would be done in these schools. went for own race in preference to all others. Mr. Richards explained that American childrea would have an equal chance in the proposed schools with German children. Mr, Moore proposed to amend by inserting that the Trustees be requested to consider the expediency of “imtroducing into the Public Schools of this city a course of instruction in the French, Italian, German, Irish, and ali other languages, and to report at the same time the additional expense of thus reorganizing our schools, aud to what extent it would probably interfere with the course of our ordinary pub- lic school education, such as is usually given to the children in public schools.” Tue amendment was rejected, by the follow- ing vote -—Yeas—Messrs. Elvans, McUathran Moore, and Talbert-4. Nays—Messre. Given, Grinder, Lloyd, Noyes, Richards, Tain, and Barr—7; and the resolution passed, by yeas— Messrs.’ Elvans, Given, Lloyd, Mc(Cathran, Noyes, Richards, Tait, and the President (Barr) —=. Nays—Messrs. Grinder, Moure, and Tal- bert—3. The special order—beimg the bill to maintain and increase the efficiency of the Pablic Schools, with the amendments recommended by the School Commuttee—was then taken up, When Mr. Moore submitted a substitute for the first section as follows : “That the salary of the Tincipal teacher of each of the Male Grammar Schools of this city shall be 81,600 per annum; and if the same person be continued as teacher his salary shall be increased annually $5y until it amounts to $1,80) per annum, which sum it shall not exceed.” After some devate the amenament was adopted. No amendments Were proposed to sections 2 and 3 by the Com- mittee,and they remain as im the Council bill, as follows: Se: That the salaries of all the teachers of female grammar schools shall be 1,400 each a year, increasing hereafter $50 an- nually to SLY. Sec. 3. That the sil: the teachers of all the male in schools shall be $80) each a yea: hereafter $50 annually to $1,000, Council bill enacted: That the salai the teachers of the female intermediate schools shall be S-00 each a year. increasing annually hereafter $0 to $000, The Commit! ed to strike out $80 and insert 7) Tike out $900 and insert $8%, A long diseus- sion ensued on the propofed amendz bemg alleged by those who opposed t they mace an unjust discrimigation feniale teachers. [The section allowed $100 per annum less for teachers of fernale intermediate chools than was allowed in the preceding sec- tion te teachers of male intermediate <chools. | Mr. Elvans asked for an explanation. Mr. Richards said that the management ot boys was more troublesome aud arduous than that of girls, and hence the committee decided to allow more pay to the teachers of the male tuterme- liate schools. Mr. Elvans asked if the same ressoning would not apply to the primary and secondary schools. Mr. Richards said it would not, as the «mailer boys were more manageable. reucd against what he understood crimination against the female terch- ers. Mr. Noyes explained that some of the teachers of male intermediate schools, who would get the higher salary are femaies, and hence there was no discrimination at’ all, as between male and female teachers, Mir. Given again spoke im opposition to the crimination. Mr. Kichard=. during the de- bate, explained that the reductions recom. mended by the committee would amount to $5.00: the aggregate increase recommended by the committee being that much less than pro- vided in the Council bill! The amendments proposed by the committ-< were rejected by tie vote: Yeas—Messrs, Lloyd, M joore, Noyes and Ri hards—5. Given, Grinder, Tait The question was e committee's amend- ments to section five of Council bill, whieh enacted -that the salaries of all the teachers of the secondary schools shall be $700 each, 1a- creasing hereafter annually $50 to $500." The amendments recommended by the committee were to strike out 87 and insert $400, and to strike out S44) and insert $750, The amend. ments were rejected: Yeas—Messrs. Lioyd, Moore, Noyes aud Richards—4. Nays—Moessrs Elvan, Given, Grinder, Tait and President (Barr)—s. Section six was then taken up. In Council bill it enacted “that the salaries of all the teachers of primary schools shall be $390 each, increasing brreafter annually $50 to $700.” The nunittee moved to sinend as follows: “That the salaries of all the teachers of primary schools shall begin with $600 each, increasing hereafter annually $50 to $65) for the same teacher; but if any accepted candidate for a primary or secondary school can present satis- factory credentials of having pressed success. fully through a special course of professional tenining in & normal school; or if she can show sutistaciory proofs of high training and suc- cesstul experience 4s a primary or secondary teacher, she shall, on being employed as a primary teacher, receive $650, and as @ second- ary teacher, £750 per annum. increasing $3) | aunually, if she continues, untill the salary shall be #00 5 It was agreed to divide the question, and the first clause of the amendment was taken up. The Board rejected the change of salary pro- posed by the committee im section six of Coun- cil bill by a tie vote the same as on the amend- ments to the fourth section. So the salaries of \cachers of primary schools remain as reporued in Couneil bill. Mr. Elvans then moved to strike ont $700 in tl second clause of the amendment and insert $750, and strike out 75) and insert $500, a8 the rates of pay for experi - enced teachers of primary and secondary schools.
