In resum ing the plan of n city superintendent
of school the school board said that it was in the
"interest of economy and efficient adm inistra
tion." By the change two half time teachers paid
$832.50 were laid off and the principal of the —
Rrattain school salary cut $200. a saving of
$1032.50 and at the sam e time another salary of
$2400 was provided for. We are willing to reserve
judgment until all the teachers are elected on
w hether this was an actual saving or not. We
have no objection to the superintetulenuy plan
nor the man elected to fill the |>osltlon so long
