14 TIIE MORNING OKEGONIAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1920 NEW METHOD TO TRY TEACHERS PROPOSED Compromise Is Offered School Board. to RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED Commission Chosen Partly by Board and Partly by Instruc tors Is "Wanted. A new method of appointing the commission to try the cases of dis missed teachers is proposed by the High School Teachers union as a compromise measure in place of abol ishing the nresent commission. A majority of the school board has in dorsed the modification crT the pres ent tenure of office law, one of the main changes being the abolishing of the commission. The board desires to have the final word in dismissing teachers. The higrh school teachers have adopted resolutions in favor of sub stituting for ttm present trial com mission, which is appointed by the judge of the circuit court, a commis sion chosen partly by the board, and partly by the teachers. Public to Be Represented. The public is to be represented ,by a person chosen by the representa tives of the board and the teachers. "If the disagreement between Port land school directors and teachers over proposed changes in the tenure law comes to a pitched battle in the legislature, it will not be because a compromise measure has not been suggested," said the high school teachers. These teachers also stated that "if the compromise cannot be reached, all members of the teaching corps will oppose any change in the law." Resolution Is Adopted. The resolution follows: "Whereas, The impending1 struggle in the coming session of the legislature between the school board and the teachers in re gard to the teachers' tenure of office la will inevitably lead to a lowering of the morale of the teaching carps, which in turn will hvork immeasurable harm to the children of the Portland schools; and. Whereas, We believe that such struggle can be avoided by a compromise measure in the passage of which both school board and teachers can co-operate; and, Whereas, The trend of the times is to foster democracy and co-operation in the administration of public affairs ; and. Whereas, the crux of the entire struggle between school board and teachers is in tne matter of the personnel of the trial commission ; therefore, be it Resolved, That In any amendment to the teachers' tenure of office law provision be made for a commission to be formed as follows: (1) The school board and the teachers 8hj.ll each choose an equal number of rep resentatives, and (2) Such, representatives when chosen shall select one representative from the eeneraf public. And be it further Resolved, That should such proposal for change in the personnel of the commission fail to receive support sufficient to insure its enactment, into law, we continue our support of the law as it now stands. And be in further Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be sent to each member of the school board, to the superintendent of the schools and to the press of the city.
