Promotions. by “Pui “I desire to speak in regard to the pro- motion of teachers, ansi"Jo say to the com- mittee that there exists 4 ‘pull’ that did not exist under the olé¢-system, when I taught under the previous superintendent. The present superinten@>rit does not promote according to the award of merit. 1 eee open secret that hq givps the men er sularies than the a Of ‘That may be all right, but it is manifestly unjust to women who have been workifig for the promotion year after year. Only last year the women teachers of the first division petitioned that some one of them might be promoted, but instead a man, who had taught not nearly so long, was promoted over their heads be- cause he did something for Mr. Powell. Of course, that is only surmise, but he is the man who at the meeting supported Mr. Kramer. When these people who have not the respect of the teachers at large are pro- moted over them it deads the teachers to think that—" - The Chairman--‘‘Something {s at fault.” Miss Daly—‘‘The books will simply show the salaries of the teachers. This matter was investigated tw@ or three years ago. Senator Gallinger sent a communication to Mr. Powell about it, and the practice was suspended; but it exists again now, or did up to a month ago. 1 have the name of y, who taught ‘at the Howard Uni- This existed in regard to his sal- ary up to one month ago. Also with regard to the relations between the teacher and the superintendent, I want to say that he 1s perfectly czar-like; neither the teachers nor the supervising principals have any good opinion of him; but it makes not the slight- est difference to him that 90 per cent of the teachers are opposed to ‘him upon any mat- ter, he does not change his ruling. “I can prove that the teachers hold him in absolute fear. When a teacher wants to teach something with regard to which he thinks Mr, Powell does not sympathize with him, he has to teach it, and he does it again and again, standing with his face look- ing out of the window. with ‘his eyes on the street, watching the pessible coming of Mr. Powell. Then, again, there is a sign that will be sent around from room to room—an open book, or something of that kind—to indi- cate that Mr. Powell fs in the building. If that does not show fear I do not know what does. It certainly has that effect on the teacher. There is a decided difference be- tween the ideals of honesty at the present day and those that were in vogue when I went to school in the District of Columbia. It is perfectly true that the supervisors cannot change Mr, Powell with regard to any method whatever, Work Kills Teachers. The Chairman—“The teachers have no time to supervise them”’ Miss Daly—“No; and it gets the children into careless methods, The tcachers can- not watch them and ihe other side of the school at the sume time. There is another int. Of course the teacher herself is but minor consideration. I understand that twelve or thirteen icachers died in one year —I think year before Jast.” The Chairman—‘What was supposed to be the cause of their deaths?” Miss Daly—“Nervous _ prostration thought to be the cause.” The Chairman—Was that what the phy- siclans called it?” Miss I —"'Yes, sir; in many instances. I do not know that £ could make that state- ment with absolute positiveness, because I am not familiar with the facts, but it was generally thought that their illness was superinduced by hard work, It might not have been so in every case, but it is cer- tain that there no relaxation. The work saps the teacher's vitality, as she has no time whatever for telaxation. The Chairman—“It a teacher does not have and relaxation she cannot teach pr Miss Daly—"No. I have made the point with regard to salary irregularities and have cited the case of Mr. Hay, an in- stance whick occurred up to within a month ago. If he is called he can testify to it.” The Chairman—“We have so many who come voluntarily that Ido not think {t will be necessary to call ‘any others, They would simply corrgborate all that you have said.” 1 ee: ‘ qi Miss DaJy—‘'l suppose so. There ‘are for- ty-two persons who have subscribed gener- ally that Mr. Powell js uniformly courteous and that the system. is, in the main, all right, and all that sert of thing; but that, of course, is simply for polic: , Miss M. G. Ravenburg said she did not want to say thing against Mr. Powell, and sald: was Ne Confidence in Him, “But I think a great many criticisms can be made. In the first place, Mr. Powell is a reformer, and as a reformer he goes to extremes, and ig willing to sacrifice any- thing, both teachers and children, to ac- complish his purpose; so that there has been really moral degradation throughout the school, the teachers having no confi- dence in him. For instance, he has said this year that there will be no arithmetic in the schools. He said that in the meet- ing, but denied it afterward. When gram- mars were given out; they were given out with the understanding that they were not to be used; that was said in one of the divisions. In our division the supervisor expressed very suddenly the idea that we should teach grammar, but that though the grammars were given us, they were not to be consulted. ‘Then Mr. Powell has failed to support us, as a rule, on the im- portant questions of discipline and promo- tion, “In discipline, again and again we have constant trouble with the children in re- gard to truancy and the reading of bad literature, and if we make appeals to the higher authorities to support us in the punishment we are not supported, and con- sequently we are in trouble all the time. “The teacher feels that there ought to be some system on which a promotion is made. It ought to be on length of service or ex- cellence in work, one or the other. The promotion of the teachers is due to the ar- bitrary judgment of the superintendent or the trustee, or to some ‘pull’ that she can get. Up to this time I have never used ay Influence at all in the schools, but now feel that I would be perfectly justified in using influence to secure romotion, as other people do, although I do not belleve in it. Last year a vacancy occurred in the first division. A principal of the eighth grade was promoted to be assistant super- intendent, Filling a Vacancy. “Although there were other candidates, Mr. Powell particularly wanted a man that he could depend upon, and he got him. That was a $1,300 principalship that was left over. Naturally that principalship should be filled by some one in that division if there was any teacher In the division com- petent to fill dt. The first division teachers have all had good records as teachers, We have been praised for-our work, and our scholars have a good standing in the High School. The teachesa bearing that this pro- motion was going to be made by bringing in a new teacher, andthat teacher a man, all united In sending!invapetition to the su- pervising principabsand-our trustee, Judge Barnard, in whick; we:asked that the ap- pointment be made, according to some prin- ciple of justice, either fength of service or fitness for the posftidn. “Ft was worded very carefully and very :weat?y.
