SPECIAL SCHOOL
ELECTION MAY
Directors Agree to Submit Wage
Rise- Request of Teachers .
to Portland Voters. -
Conjplylng , with the request of Port
land teachers but against their own dis
cretion, th school director Thursday
voted to call a special school- election
Saturday, May 10, for the purpose of
levying a. special tax for $581,000 to pro
vide a 30 per cent Increase In t,he total
amount set-aside for teachers' salaries
lh the last budget. .
The opinion anions the directors was
that since the 15 ,per cent proposed In
crease had been' defeated by" the ' voters
last fall, the teachers would stand a
good chance of losing If they Insisted
upon a 80 per cent raise at this time,
especially since the $100,000 'war bonus
which Is now being borrowed for the
teachers this year, will have to b paid
by the taxpayers next year, making, a
total increase of 37 per cent.
TEACHERS BEADY TO flGHT ,
' ' The teachers, however, are prepared
to fight the campaign to. a finish. Miss
Violet Ortschlld of the Couch school and
K. Lb'Hoskln of Franklin high school,
speaking on behalf ; of the teachers,
claimed that the proposed sum would
not provide a high salary, but merely a
living salary; that the teachers, are en
titled, to higher pay than charwomen
and Janitors; that if the measure is de
feated : at the polls they will still -. go
on until they do get the salary they
should have, and that they would rather
be defeated on a 30 per cent proposition
than to win on a 15 per cent. The
teachers also claimed .that whereas
teachers In the West formerly received
higher salaries than Eastern teachers,
the reverse was now. true.
- According to IMrector Plummer, no
city in the Northwest has any such
schedule of salaries as the teachers pro
pose. Seattle has not. and Spokane, un
til recently, had a lower scale. Both
Jjos Angeles and San. Francisco have
splendid scales. . .
HOLIDAYS ELIMINATED
The 30 per cent basis does not apply
to individual salaries, but is the pro
posed Increase over the entire teaching
budget and Is to be apportioned by the
school directors according to their pwn
judgment. The greater part of it will
be given to the lower paid teachers. The
money Is to be available next year, ac
cording to tho resolution.
The school calendar for 1919-lp20 was
adopted upon the recommendation of
Superintendent D. A. Grout. , Two less
holidays are contained on the new calen
dar, the Monday holjday . following
Kaster deemed no longer, essential, and
both Washington's birthday and Memo
rial day coining on week-ends. ;
Director Thomas proposition for the
elimination of waste in heat, light and
water, was deferred until the committee
of . the whole can take action upon it
some time within the next few weeks.
