The Herald-Review Ventures to Explain the School Salary Question. In the last issue of the Magnet “Citizen” enquires why it is that two ofthe teachers in our Central school re- ceive ten dollars per month more than the others, and why one of the teach- ers in an outside school enjoys a like distinction over the other teachers employed in the country schools. Now we are forced to believe one ot two things, either *‘Citizen” is densely ignorant or he (or she) wished to stir up our school affairs again and get every body to talking over matters that will never be adjusted so long as amember of the school board has daughters or other near relatives on the staff of teachers. The Herald-Review has never been at all backward in speaking ot the evil effects of sucha policy and we take this occasion to repeat the assertion, that no teacher should be employed that is closely related to any member of the school board. Just so long as this policy is followed, just so long will there be favoritism shown and dissention among the teachers be the result. It goes without saying that two of the teachers referred to im the query are the daughters of Mr. Brady, a member of the school board, and ac- cording to some ideas on the subject, he would be a chump if he did not get a httle better thing out of the busi- ness for his daughters than the rest of the teachers, who have no one on the board to represent them, The fact that they are allowed extra compensa- for their labor developes the fact that the old gentleman has at least some shght business qualification. A most gratifying showing, as it is not gen- erally supposed that he is possessed with even a modicum of business ability. We do not take the position that the teachers referred to are getting more for their services than they are entitled to, but we do think that if they are to be paid the wages they have been receiving, let the other teachers that are doing just as good work receive the same compensation. ‘There is no set of scholars in the dis- trict that is entitled to better services than the rest of the pupils. Let all have equal privileges as near as may be, and let the pay of the teacheis for equal services be on the same basis. In the case of Miss Doran, of the Central school, who is receiving sixty dollars per month, the board have this explanation to offer: For the past year or two, by miussmanage- ment or some other cause, the depart- ment of which she has charge, has! been the worst to govern in the entire school, and more trouble has been originated in that room than any other in the building. It was thought best to engage a male teacher for that room, and the old board se- cured the scrvices of M. A. Leahy, at sixty dollars per month. Mr. Leahy afterwards found it necessary to re- sign from the position, and Miss Dor- an offered to take the room, an offer that was accepted by the board. month, but the board, in the large- ness of their hearts, saw fit to pay her the same amount that Mr. Leahy was to have received had he been able to condict the school. We have failed, so far, in finding any one who censured Miss Doran fo: accepting the order for sixty, dollars that is tendered her each month.. It can truthfully be said, to Miss Doran’s credit, that she has had myst excell- ent saccess in the manage nent of her pupils and she has no doubt earned every dollar she has received for the good work she has accomplished. In justice to Mrs. Ehle, it is only proper in the Central school were fixed by the old board, before her election. ‘In the matter of the extra ten dollars paid Miss Mabel Brady,. who con- ducts the school at Swan River, it is place within a mile and a hilf of the school house and as the trains pass at convenient hours for her to return home each night and go to her work in the morning, she wished to board at home and the School Bord, again showing their hberality, increased her wages a sufficient amount to cover the cost of her railway transportation. When we were learning our A. B. C’s it was no unusual thing for the teach- eras well as the majority of the scholars to trudge a mile and a half along country roads to and from school, but no doubt it would be too much to ask of a teacher in the pres- ent age. Better let the tax payers pay for the comfort of riding in a| warm car. “Citizen” knew all about these matters when he asked the ques- uon he did and we merely make these few explanations for the general reader. i Rosser-Geggie Nuptial. The many Grand Rapids friends of the fair bride will read the follow- ing with much interest. We glean from the Duluth News Tribune of; Thursday, December gth: | In the presence of their parents and a few of their intimate friends Muss Pearl Rosser and James C, Geggie were quietly married gt St. Paul’s Episcopal church by the rector, Rev. A. W. Ryan, at 8:45 o’clock last night. The arrangements for the marriage in all details were simplicity itself. It was the wish that the-event should be shorn of the circumstance | and pomp that are sometimes a feature | when a prominent and popular couple go to the altar. ‘here was a certain informality about every thing, which was pleasing and which harmonized beautifully with'the simple impressive- | ness of the marriage ceremony. The relatives and) frends of the bride and groom arrived at the church about 8:30 o’clock, and a few moments later Dr.gRyan arrived. Promptly at 8:45 o’clock the ‘bride and groom walked down the aisle of the church to the chancel, and the words were spoken that made them man and wife. Miss Rosser was dress2d in a tailor-made suitot brown material and hat, while ing she was to receive fifty dollars per} to state that the wages of the teachers | claimed that there is no boarding} €o.. were spoken, and Mr. and Mrs. Geg- gie went direct to their future home, at 1125 Second street east, which had previously been prepared for their re- ception. Among those present at the wedding were Col. and Mrs. Geggie, Arthur and Iona Geggie, Mr. and Mrs. George Spencer, Mr. and Mrs. | J. H. Dight, Watson Moore, Mrs. and | Miss Loudon, Mrs. J. C. Rosser and | Miss Jean and Martha Rosser and | Miss Sims of Minneapolis. James C. Geggie holds a responsible place with the grain firm of Spencer, Moore & Co.—News ‘Tribune.
