' If you want to study human nature. "when it is shorn of all possible tinsel, choose some swell restaurant at meal time—noon time——- and you will come . away with the satisfaction of knowing that “We may live without poetry, music and art, We may live without conscience. and live without heart, We may live without friends, we may live without books: But civilized man cannot live without cooks. . We may live without books, what is knowledge but grieving? We murders. Withouthope. what is , hope 'but deceiving? We may live without love, what is pas- sion but pining? But where is the man who can live without dining?” I thought of this little verse the oth- _. ~ ; \er day. as I watched a number of men labout to depart-or rather vanish to _ several tables. and it is needless to say. that e greet work they were " about to engage in was that of dining; and l gleaned more into their private natures by the half hour‘s study than 'a half day's observation of them at ’ any other time. There were many types gathered to- gether; some looked as hungry as. featherweight champions in training; others as quiet as a teething baby tali- ing a nap; others as unapproachable and important as a walking delegate of the bricklayers‘r union; and others as meek as a plumber's helper; but one by one they came back after their din- nor was over. and a silence equalled only by a country graveyard after Christmas settled o'er the scene. i big dinner and big. good cigars after- wards; but at any rate they all looked the picture of silent contentment. l l heard a gentleman giving one of our bright newsboys a few points .about selling his papers the other day; the gentleman was a New York man. which, mayhap have accounted for his ideas in paper ideas; but I think there was a, lot of good advice in the sug- gestion. and i will retell it here.

In his letter Mr. Perry stated that hefwould have to make his decision by May 1. but in the meantime he would be glad to consider any proposition that the board might care to make .to him, A. long discussion followed and the South ‘Norwalk representatives on the board and Leo Davis testified to Mr. Perry's sterling worth as a teacher, but the point of the whole matter rested on the question of whether the board couldoonsistently raise his sal- ary to thevarnount of his offer from New Jersey. It was finally decided that thouhoard could not see its way clear‘to make the big increase. as the situation stands at present, but the hope was expressed that Mr. Perry would rennin at his old salary or at a slight increase. The board believed that, in justice to other teachers in the servicehdre. it would be unwise to snake such p’large increase in Mr. Perry’s, salary.

', 3" ‘ Mr. Davis considered the whole pub- lic school system here in. the depart- ment of hiring teachers is wrong and said he Would like to see a town nicot- inglcalied to rearrange it. ‘Mr. Davis also deplored the whole state system. Dr. Kendall had been gathering to- gether a fewfacts which showed that school teachers are universally poorly paid. in the United States. This in- formation demonstrated that tho bis cities pay their street sweepers more on an average than school teachers. In New. York city. for instance. the average salary of a school teacher is Spdo,‘ while that of the street cleaner is essay Boston pays street cleaners 3806 on the average and teachers 0552. In Philadelphia it is $503 for street cleaners and 8470 for teachers. and so on down the list to Atlanta. 6a., where the stmet cleaner's average salary is $300 and the school teacher's 0260. Be- fore closing Dr. Kendall took occasion to praisetho recent innovation in the city of Baltimore to graduate salaries in proportion to worth, instead of by grade or class taught. Harry Rider had a sort of premoni- tion that before long the board will get. an application from every teacher in the term for an increase of salary. He believed that if Mr. Perry's salary is increased to $1,200 the board could not consistently pay Mr. Larkin, who does similar work at the Norwaik High !

The iad's relic lives want a certificate from the local schools. but as he attended school on Long island. this could not beigiven, and it was agreed not to prevent him from working. The boy's relatives had voluntarily brought the matter up in order to observe the law to the let- er, . A representative of the Underwood & Underwood. Btereoscope Company was given a brief hearing. but the board was not disposed to add this feature to the equipment of the local schools. A communication requesting that the Jones' readers be substituted in the schools for the Baldwin readers. and signed by Principals Gumbart. Fonts. lane, Wigham, Thompson and Tucker. was read and created quite a tempest. The objection to the Baldwin readers was that they contain too much "goody 800d" matter. It was pointed out that several .of the principals had recommended the installati’m of the Baldwin readers. Mr. Davis showed that the Hawthorne readers voted about a year ago had cost on ,the first installment betwaen $500 and 8600 and pointed out that this sort of. thing was a very exuenslve proposition. The principals. he said had assured the board that new readers would not be needed in a long time when the flaw- thorne and Baldwin readers were or- dered. Dr. Kendall thought the teachers should have every facility and to test the merits of the case. Mr.“ next meeting he would move the adop. *tion of the Jones readers. He warned the board. however, that if he was com vluced the addition was not necessary. he would vote against the measure. The matter of the town receiving in return from the state of a like amount of money expended for library pun poses. the state money being used for the same purpose. was briefly dis cussed. but no action was taken. though it was the opinion that the twon would get the state grant with- out troublo.
