An appeal to the Board of Education to suspend immediately the new wage scale recently put into effect for sub- stitute teachers is contained in reso- lutions adopted by the Teachers' Coun- cil, at a speclal meeting last night in the Franklin School. The resolutions pointed out that the increases granted the substitutes are inconsistent, and work & hardship on the regular teachers. The council also decided to ask the board to meet with it with a view to working out a satisfactory substi- tute pay schedule. In the ‘meantime, a committee of the council will draft a substitute salary scale for submis- sion at the joint meeting. Many Enter Discusion. The counoll's action came at the close of a two and one-half hour dis- cussion of the new substitute pay schedule which was modified slightly by the School Board Wednesday as a result of the protest of the teachers’| unions. Those who took a leading part In the dlscussions were Mrs. Edith C. Paul, president of the Teachers' Un- ion; Mliss Sibyl Baker, Central High School teacher; Miss M. Gertrude Young, administrative principal of the Peabody-Hilton School; First Assist- ent Soperintendent of Schools Ste- phen E. Kramer, Miss Cecil Dulin and Miss Dorothy Pelham. Miss Baker explained that the at- tempt to work out a saitsfactory sal- ary schedule for the substitutes re- sulted In a medilum being struck that worked an Injustice on the low-s arled regular teachers. She said it was unfair to calculate a teachers’ salary on the number of school days. “The | teachers,” she declared, “are working for the schools throughout the yesr.” Hits Students’ Pay. Although an administrative officer, Miss Young deplored the fact that school officers are not required to for can lose any of their salary through ab- sences to pay substitutes. She also condemned ~ the practice of pay- ing eighth-grade puplls when they act as uubltltut?. Miss Dulin said that it was nothing short of a tragedy for .a teacher to be il when she is forced to forfeit 2 major portion of her salary while paying doctor, hospital and drug bills. The increases granted the substi- tutes, she’'predicted will result in the regular teachers reporting for duty while sick, because they can't afford to pay the higher rate to the sub- stitutes. A report on the rates of substitute pay in other citles was submitted by Mrs. Paul. e - ‘Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following’ Carl Dixon and Gladys Green.
