designed to do this In as graceful a

man will co-operate with the board's

other words, this history, if such It
may be called, will be used only In
iuch instances as may be thought
Justifiable by the authorities, the object
being to retain it. perhaps, inasmuch

From the attitude of the members
of the Board of Education, in serslon
yesterday afternoon, it would appear
that the book would have been thrown
out bodily were It not for the fact
that District Attorney Evans ruled that
no other could be substituted In Its
stead because of a state law, which
prohibits a change of school books un
der a period of four years.
The District Attorney ruled that the

Is concerned, no hesitation need be
had.
An opinion from the District Attor
ney to the effect that the board has

Mr. Seely, In 1896, was mar

"When Dr. E. A. Sommer, a member
of the Board of Education, attempted
to have a stenographic report of pro
ceedings of a session of the directors
taken Wednesday night, he was sat
upon, so to speak, by his fellows, who
ordered a shorthand man out of the
room.
An echo of the incident was heard
yesterday afternoon at the regular
meeting of the Board, when Dr. Som
mer introduced a resolution purport
ing to make all meetinjs, committees
and what not. public. As a matter of
fact, it was explained by other mem
bers, such is the case at present, as
it has been for yeans. Only when an
executive session, such as for the se
lection of teachers, for instance, is
held, does the Board bar the public.
Dr. Sommer's resolution, read by him
self, hit a big, Immovable snag, and
went down. It was supported only by
himself and Dr. Drake. The latter,
however, after an explanation by N. G.

by "an understanding" that they are.

Upon a vote being taken, the reso
lution was lost, and Dr. Alan Welch
Smith, the presiding officer, told Dr.
Sommer the meetings were sufficiently
public at present and significantly
said: "You know what you had that
man there for last night.
Director Plummer openly charged Dr.

Salary Increase Ordered.
By order of the Board, salary in
creases ranging from 10 to 15 per cent
will be granted to the elementary teach
ers in the Portland schools, starting
with the Fall term, instead of on Janu
ary 1. 1918, as had previously been di
rected.
This will add about $105,000 to the
payroll of the grad schools.
An order was also entered, directing
that the maximum for salaries of high
school teachers be fixed at $1500 a year.
an increase from $1350, which will ag
gregate about $2000 a year. Depart
ment heads, through Professor Norman
C. Thorne, of Lincoln High, petitioned
for a proportionate increase, but their
appeal was referred to the committee
for a report.
Janitors' salaries will be increased
15 per cent, effective August 1, 1917.
W. R. Rutherford. Superintendent of
Eugene Schools, was scheduled for
election as an assistant superintendent.
but Superintendent Alderman reported
that he would not come for less than
