Not alone a lack of discipline but a want of common decency and ordinary politeness and court .it to bc wondered at that the board has fallen into such. dis and merits the condemnation of e self-respecting man when one mem- ber is openly and grossly insulted by another, and for what? Because he dares introduce a resolution which would change and revise the by of the board so that a few self- stituted members would be shorn cf some of their autoeratic powers by ~enlarging the number on the two most important commlittees; the com- mittee on teachers and the committee on finance. These are the two most important committees, the one having the hiring and the discharging of teachers as well as the fixing of their salaries, the other the spending of a half-million of the people’s money and because a member of the board had the temerity to rise up in the presence of that august and honorable body and ask these committees be made more representative and not so selective as in the past, though backed by the people four to one he is insult- ed and humiliated by one who should know better, one from whom the pub- | lic have a right to expect more if for no other reason than becausc of the position he holds as head of the #chool board. “When the chairman threw down the resolution presented by Dr. Mar- tin with the sneering remark to let it lis on the table that was the place for it, he meant in all probability the waste basket, he threw an insult and a defiance in the face of the people, | and unless the tone and temper of the people are misjudged they wiil re- “sent it in no uncertain way at the | proper time and place.

Nor gratifying was the report in us much as it showed a deficit of | some $24,000 taking the board’s own figures although in well-informed cir- cles the amount is said to run much higher. This is a nice legacy the _sohool board has bequeathed to the | ‘people who stood for economy in city aftairs when they voted the mill rate. It means an additional one- half or one mill tax to be met out of this years appropriation, but then it only goes to show how the people have been fooled and hood-winkec1 all tis chairma Taxpaye pertine and of the Why should the public look for | at DR, MARTIN DOESN'T KNOW, GAFFNEY SAYS (Continved from First Page.) 13 times.

The high state of efficiency which sts in our schools today, proves that these rules are a succe: If any trouble occurs school, it is handled in a tematic manner The teacher in- tizates the trouble, and if worthy of consideration, reports it to the principal. If the case requires fur- ther consideration it is taken up by the superintendent and then by the school committee and the school board. If the school board consid- ered every petty complaint, it would be in session continually. Furthe more, the board has no right to in- quire as to the reason why a teacher resigns. It is her privilege to do so and her reason does not have to be given unless she desires to. Reflection On Mr. Pratt. The assertion made by Dr. Martin that the vocational committee never meets, a direct reflection on Mr. Pratt, chairman of this committee. The industrial committee has done a most important satisfactory work and the efficiency of our vocational High school speaks for itself.”” Dr. Martin's gricvances as to the workings of the school board came to a head at the regular monthly seseion on Friday afternoon when he pre- sented a resolution calling for a ro- organization of the standing com- mittees and the election of a com- mittee of four to look into the mat- ter. Dr., Martin in presenting h resolution stated that certain mem- bers on the board were continually placed on minor committees and cere not cognizant of what ias going on. This, he said would be remedied by a revision of the rules. The resolution will come up for dis- cussion the next monthly meeting of the board. dance but bers have “Dr, mbers ceptional EMERGENCY MEETING | Dr. Gibbs and Supt.
