Teachers Feign Tliness Chairman Gaffney also brought to the attention of the board reports that teachers are remaining away from classes under guise of illness when it is | merely a matter of convenience with | | them. He felt that many are taking advantage of the clause in the de- partment's rules which allows 10 days absence each vear with pay for “per- sonal illness or death in the immedi- | ate family Vinety per cent of the teachers were absent the full 10 days last year, he reported to the board, the cost of hiring substitute teachers being $7,800. Judge Gaffney was em- powered to name a committee to in- | vestigate this phase of the school | problem, and he selectéd the follow- | ing: Mrs. Laura Mangan, Mrs. Effie Kimball, E. M. Pratt and F. G. Vib- berts. In a discussion, Mrs. Mangan felt that the word of the teacher shonld | be sufficient. Mr. Pratt pointed out one specific instance where a teacher who ness” was on an automobile ride out of the city, and Mrs. Kimball ex- pressed herself as in favor of dis- charging teachers who feign illness.
