A move to have the Board of Educa- tion adopt the lower pay schedule for substitute teachers proposed by the Teachers’ Council was blocked tem- porarily at a special joint meeting of the board and the.council last night in the Franklin School. {| Championing the regular teachers’ recommendations, Cant. Jullus I, Pey- ear the close of a three-hour session, moved that the board put into effect immediately the com- promise salary schedule for substi- tutes submitted by the council, which fixes a minimum rate of $3 a day {|for that class of teachers instead of 34, as now in effect. The motion was defeated by a vote of 5 to 3, ! | Capt. Peyvser, Ernest Greenwood and Mrs. Lillian Y. Herron voting in the affirmative. Although opposing the lower sal- ary scale recommended by the coun- cil, the board agreed to give further consideration to the substitute pay controversy at its regular meeting next Wednesday. In the meantime, the supervising principals, who first proposed an increase for the substi- tutes, will be asked to furnish the board with additional data to show whether the higher salary had im- proved the quality of the substitutes. Mrs. Florence H. Rogers, Miss M. Gertrude Young, Dorothy Pelham, Mrs. Edith C.
