Teachers and Conventions Editor The Star: At a recent meeting of the Seattle schoot board a letter was read ask jing that certain parties be ment to | the National Association of Women Deans convention to be held back East. Upon tnquiry it developed that it hax been the practice of the schoo! board to pay the expenses of certain favored individuals (employes or teachers) to these conventions. A taxpayer present objected to this expense and it was genially explained that all business houses pay the ex fete, and that if a representative from Seattle was so favored un to be put on the program, the school board jought to be willing to stand the ex | pense. board of Seattle is not a business or munization seeking to expand and Jattract business—ite business is to keep down expenses, and the benefit derived from attending the conven tion is solely to the individyal at tending. With the salaries paid |teachers and any other employes |who are likely to be sent, consider direct benefit in the way of a better position from the advertising given So why should Seattle be called on to pay? The employe who will most Ik be sent receives a salary of $5,100 year or $425 a month, and if he must also be given the big bonus of his expenses back East in addition to that salary, how do tho rest of us live? | It's al) very well for the Chamber | 8 wend- | making | of Commerce to pay the expenses of | delegaten as per | their resolution, that’s business—but |the school board has no reason to }do this, and it is doubtful if they have the authority, and also it would be interesting to know how many other school boards ara #0 easy.
