THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1907. 13 WILL GET MORE PAY School Finance Committee Fa vors Teachers. TWO MEMBERS ON RECORD Petition of Pedagogues Meets Ap proval of Majority of Board, hut Action May Be Deferred Until Next Year. There is every indication that teachers' in the Portland public schools will be al lowed the increase of 20 per cent in salaries they have petitioned for, or at least will be granted a portion of this advance. Both Mrs. L. W. Sltton and I. N. Flelschner, members of the finance committee, to whom the petition has been referred, believe the teachers are not now receiving adequate pay. Flelschner de clared yesterday that he would vote to etrant the petition, and Mrs. Sltton said that she had not considered the matter sufficiently to know how much of an ad vance she would favor. J. V. Beach said he was ready to vote an increase In the salary of teachers, and it is understood that H. C. Campbell takes a similar view of the matter, although he could not ba seen yesterday. Herman Wittenberg alone in opposed to granting an Increase at this time. As the teachers are under contract for the present year, he holds that the Increase should not go into effect until the next school year, and he believes it to be Inadvisable to take any action at this time. Wittenberg was of the opinion that the teachers were not requesting an increase for the present year, but Acting Super intendent Grout says this is not the case. Their petition for 12 months' pay is for the present year, and for this reason it will be necessary for the directors to act upon it before the taxpayers' meeting In December, when the levy is voted. Deserve More Pay. "The school teachers certainly deserve an increase." declared Flelschner yester day. "I do not think that their request for 12 months' pay at the present rate is exorbitant, and I shall vote for it. Teachers are now among the most poorly paid classes of employes and they should be one of the best. We should take into consideration the high cost of living at present, and also that teaching is hard, tedious work. "My idea Is to grant the higher sal aries and if we have any teachers who are not worth so much to the district, we can let them go. Many good teach ers, who would rather be in the Port land schools than elsewhere, have gone to other cities because they could earn more money. With the increase that has been asked for we would receive more applications from thoroughly competent teachers than we do at present." The opinion of Flelschner is shared by Mrs. Sltton and Mr. Beach. Neither Mrs. Sltton nor Mr. Beach, however, is ready to say that the advance of 20 per cent should be allowed. They will have to Investigate the matter more thoroughly, they say, before they will be ready to indorse any definite ecale of salary. "My idea is that this proposed ad vance is not expected to go into effect until the next school year," said Wlt tenberg. "If the cost of living keeps up until then, as it is now, I would favor an advance of perhaps half the amount asked for. It all depends on conditions at that time, and I can see no reason for us to decide the matter now. "There are a great many conditions to be taken into consideration, and I think we shall grant no increase hur riedly. The plan suggested would cost the city $100,000 more next year and the added expenses would grow with the extension of the schools. The teachexa say we are paying less than Oakland or Seattle, but it is also true that the cost of living is lower here than in those cities." Leave to Taxpayers. Whatever action is taken by the board will be only in the nature of a recommendation, as the higher tax levy necessary would have to be voted at the meeting of the taxpayers in Decem ber. If the board voted for the higher salaries, the taxpayers could prevent them going into effect by refusing to Increase the levy, and it would also be possible for the voters to provide more pay, even though it should not be Indorsed by the board. Teachers' salaries in Portland are now lower than they were 15 years ago. The high salaries that were once paid were cut down during the hard times of the early 90's. Since then there have been two advances, but the former schedule has not been reached. The last Increase was voted by the tax payers without the recommendation of the board. NIGHT SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY Large Increase In Attendance Is Looked For This Year. Portland's public night schools 'will open for the regular season of five" months next Monday in the West Side High School, Williams avenue and Sunny side buildings. The attendance at these schools last year was 2S2 during the first month and 460 for the entire term. It is expected that this number will be ex ceeded this year in proportion to the In crease In the day schools. Four assistant teachers have been named for duty in the High School, where Q. W. Henderson is principal. They are H. S. Brlmholt. Mrs. W. C. Alder son. Mrs. Julia Comstock and Miss Mar garet Conway. Mrs. Julia McDaniel will assist Principal William Parker at Wil liams avenue. It is probable that another assistant will be named in the High School and a teacher will be named to work with Principal G. N. McKay In the Sunnyslde School, Other teachers that have Just been named to fill the vacancies in the day schools are Miss Lela E. Chase, third grade. Sell wood: Mrs. Jennie Richardson, fifth grade. Brooklyn, and Miss Keine Tuttle, assistant in the drawing depart ment. OREGON FIR IS SUPREME Spnds for Dredge Are Largest Tim bers Seen on Isthmus. WASHINGTON.
