THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAX, NOVEMBER 13, 1905.
FIGHT AGIST
MERIT SYSTEM
It Will Begin at Tonight's Ses
sion of the School
Board.
PLAN IS TO ABOLISH IT
Resolution Will Be Introduce! In
creasing the Pay of the Teach
ers From the Beginning of
the Present Term.
At the .meeting of the School Board to
night the "merit system," so-called, will
come up for consideration and in its
tcad will be presented a resolution in
creasing the pay of teachers upon a scale
In conformity with the desires of the tax
payers meeting last December, which
voted J30.000 for this purpose. Of the
sum appropriated. $20,000 has already been
devoted to the Increase of pay of some of
the teachers, and at tonight's session of
the board it is the calculation to expends
the remainder in practically the same
way
The resolution, which will be supported
by Directors Beach and Fleischner and
Mrs. Sitton. the chairman, will provide
for the payment of 510 a month additional
from the beginning of the present term
to all principals in the department: $3
a month to each teacher In the High
School, and 55 a month extra for every
grade teacher possessing a life certifi
cate who has taught six years or more.
In each case the increase will relate back
to the beginning of the term, so that at
the end the 200 teachers that will likely
be affected by its provisions will share
In the division of approximately 510,000.
Director Wittenberg is said to be about
the only member of the board who still
adheres to the merit plan, although Di
rector Richard Williams Is said to have
a slight leaning in that direction. It Is
believed, however, that Mr. Williams may
b? enlisted to the support of the resolu
tion which it is proposed shall put the
merit system out of business tonight. He
Is said to be wavering, and the other side
thinks It has taken him Into its cafaip.
Hon Teachers Would Fare.
It is claimed that upon the basis of the
proposed Increase the teachers will fare
just as well, if not better, than they
oherwise would had the idea gone into
effect at the opening of the term, as the
money will come to them in a lump sum
and practically unexpected, as they had
about given up all hope of receiving any
thing. City Superintendent Rlgler stated yes
terday that the committee composed of
himself, Professor T. T. Davis, principal
of the High School and Principals J.
Burnham, of Couch and J. T. Gregg, of
the Hawthorne School, were prepared to
report on the merit system tonight if
called upon. Ever since their appoint
ment on this committee they have been
devoting a great deal of time to a proper
analysis of each teacher's claims for
consideration, so that, in all probability,
the data gathered by them will be ap
plied to the new order of things, even if
the merit system is abolished entirely.
Director -H. Wittenberg, the author of
the merit system, who returned Saturday
from an extended Eastern trip, is em
phatic in his determination to defend
the measure. He talked upon the subject
jesterday, and. while confessing that his
plan had received numorous hard knocks,
was not ready to admit that It would go
down to utter defeat at the meeting of
the School Board.
Director Wittenberg's Statement.
"A few disgruntled teachers who work
a short time for pin-money are the only
ones opposed to it," said Mr. Wittenberg.
"You don't see any of those who Intend
to make teaching a life profession object
ing to Its ideas, and 1 understand that at
the meetinc of the board tomorrow night
a petition by practically all the principals
In the city schools will do presented in
dorsing the merit system and asking that
It be nut into effect. Superintendent Kig
Icr will introduce the petition at the
proper moment, and people must not run
away with the idea that the merit system
Is a dead issue when it can summon to
its support such a representative class.
"Director Fleischner is at heart, I be
lieve, in favor of it. but for reasons of his
own puts himself on record as belug op.
posed, and is now beginning to realize his
mistake. Director Williams is all right,
and while he was on the fence for awhile,
the petition that was got up by the prln
clpals won him over to our side, and I
believe Fleischner will follow suit."
Both Mrs. I W. Sitton, chairman or
the School Board, and Director L N.
Fleischner announced In unmistakcable
terms last night their hostility to the
merit system and that they would vote
against it at the meeting this evening.
Interviews with a number of the grade
teachers indicate that they arc over
whelmingly opposed to the merit system.
When told what Director Wittenberg had
said about the opposition coming from a
few of the disgruntled ones, who were
teaching for the sake of earning a little
pin-money, one of the most prominently
Identified with the local schools became
highly indignant and pronounced Mr.
Wittenberg's assertion the limit for ridic
ulousness. "Why," said sTie, her snapping eyes
keeping time to the rhythm of her voice,
"there isn't half a dozen grade teachers
in the city schools who arc in favor of
the merit system, and Mr. Wittenberg
knows he is mistaken when be says that
the opposition comes from the younger
teachers. The movement against the
proposition originated among some of the
older teachers, and they were the most
active In arousing public santiment
against it. Neither can I understand why
the principals have Indorsed It. and they
must have signed the petition for the
purpose of currying favor with Mr. Wit
tenberg,, as I know that down In th'elr
'hearts they are as dead set against It as
the rest of us."
From the looks of things the meeting of
the School Board this evening gives every
promise of being an interesting session.
