Nlctt. otaun, Osborne, Boas and Hlrbhlnjr rof Another Report SfUa Kal . U fletltsuiA'a Salary Kalued. Th anlandid oratory of Commis-10her-W. J. Harding and the equally as earnest reasoning of Rev. F. M OabarAa moved the board of school cammiaaloaera in session last night to refer the entire schedule of salaries of , thv fVachers in the city aehools to a special committee for eenference and re-cenaideratlon and the matter remains In an unsettled condition until the first meeting of the board in July While It does not necessarily mean that the aalarles of the teachers will be increased as requested, it "does mean that another agitation la ap proaching and the sentiment was ex pressed emphatically at last night s meeting that a shorter term of school ing with better paid teachers would be far mora acceptable than the pres ent arrangement. 1 MR. HARDLNG'S PLEA. The plea of Mr, Harding was pe culiarly forceful and that of Mr. Os borne was singularly whola-souled. "If we haven't the money to pay our teachers, it is our duty to get It," declared the former. ,-l am actually ashamed to solicit the culture and character and refinement of our city for positions In our schools ami ak tha teachers to do their work for less money than we pay the policemen to guard our homes. It Is far more im portant to protect the citizenship of the t'lty and set a standard of high and righteous living before the youth of Charlotte. We don't want second class teachers In our schools and we need expect no other kind at the pres ent salaries. I do not blame those we now-have for threatening to leave the occupation unless their pay is increased. They can get more money elsewhere teaching and other fields of occupation offer better opportunities for making a living. We have some of the finest teachers In the IState en gaged In our schools, hut we van ex pect them no longer. We have reach ed a crisis. We have young women of culture and character and jrp""ine Instinct for teaching An examina tion counts nothing That's the poor est test of a teacher. We need those to teach our children who are able to set a standard of high living be fore them and to Inspirit them to good citlsenshlp. GUILTY OF CRIMINALITY. "Whenever we get the work of an honest man and do not pay him, we are criminals and whenever we get the services of excellent teachers and pay them lees than they are worth, we are criminals. We don't want oth er than the kind of teachers we now have cultured and refined yomjng women whoihave interest and Inspi ration in their life-work. Whenever we get second-class teachers and put sexond-class Ideals in the minds of our children, we may expect second class men and women. Teachers do more than hear recitations. They are character-builders and for that reason we want to know the kind of teachers Into whose care we commit our children." Mr. Harding had just stepped In the door when Rev. Mr. Osborne had con cluded his few remarks in support. of a higher salary for Miss Mary Ora ham, who has been taking a special course in primary work In Coluhmia University. In this connection, he stat ed that he was absent at-' the last meeting and for that reason did not have, the opportunity, of engaging in the discussion relative to 'increased salaries for the teachers. He was afraid that the matter had not been given duecriBelderation and he made the motion that the entire schedule of salaries be placed In the hands of a special ftpmrnittee to report at the Julymeetlng. This motion follow ed aTnotlon by Commissioner Tom llnson. chairman of 'the teachers' cprnmittee, to make Miss Graham s supervisor of all primary work at a salary of f750 for nine months This motion, was seconded by Mr. Osborne. 'On ' the vote, the motion of Mr. TomHnson was lost and so was an amendment by-Mr. Hlrshinger to postpone-theVnatter until the opening of the aehools. This amendment appli ed to the motion relative to the salary of Miss Graham. SALARIES RE-C0X8IDERBD After this vote was taken. Mr Os borne moved re-t-onsideration of the entire matter and the chair ruled that he was out of order because he did not vote In the affirmative at the oth er meeting. Mr. Harding promptly replied that he would make the mo tion which Mr, Osborne had just made, stating that he had previously voted affirmatively Just because he wanted to bring- the matter up again. A number of commissioners again expressed their desire to increase the pay of the teachers, hut In the light of the financial condition of the city had found no way to do It. Mr. J. H. Ross said it was humiliating to him to be unable to vote for an in crease, but he -believed it was his duty te ba an honest commissioner just as much aa to be an honest man. He would gladly rote an -Increase If he PEOPLE'S COLUMN All advertisements Inserted ta this column at rate of ten cents per Una of six words. No ad taken foi less than 20 cents. Cash in advance.

The question was called for and the vote resulted in a tie. Chairman Sexton stated that he wanted Mr. Osborne to be fully satiated about the situation and he would therefore vote for the appointment of a committee to make an investigation, naming Messrs W. F. Harding, F. M. Oa borne. J. Hlrshinger, J. H. Ross and W. L. Nicholson fortiis work. During a subsequent discussion of the election of new teachers, City Clerk and Treasurer A. H. Wearn cas ually mentioned the fact that the hoard s account was recently over drawn. "I want to ask you why it was overdrawn, Mr. Wearn?" interrogated Mr Harding. 'Well, we Just didn't have the money,'- said the treasurer. "Wasn't It because the tax collector had leen sitting- supinely in his of fice and allowing the people to go along without paying their taxes?" "That was the reason." "Well. then, we need a tar collec tor who will get out and get the mon ey. He has all tha facilities and ma chinery for making the collections and there is absolutely no reason why this hoarri should be embarrassed because another officer of the city does not do his duty." , The board increased the salary Of Miss Sallie Bethune. principal of the Fourth Ward school to $T5 a month, this helng an Increase of about JiO, hut refused to vote an Increase of a like avwiunt for Miss Mary Graham as supervisor of the primary work. A Isrge number of the commissioners spoke In the highest term of praise of the efficiency of Miss Graham and her undoubted qualities as a teachsr, hut felt that such a salary could not he paid for new office in connection wltb the schools.
