out the two assistant super'isois for a
year at least.
'Mr. Henry believed that the princi-
pals should remain and with them the
superintendent can do good work. He
,asked again where the salary money
' 13' going.
it is quite evident that the
l intention is to do away with the Cen-
ter school principal if not with the
others.
Dr. Tracey explained that the esti
mates came first from the distilcts to
the school board and latei to the
lmioatd of estimate. In each case they
are clipped. He further claimed that
in each district the salary for a prin-
icipai was cut out this year.
.i3. Smith of the estimate board,
claimed that Mr. ilomy was quoting
figures. Mr. llenry said that he was»
quoting only from a town report. Mr.
Smith didn't care if it was a town re-
port or not, but said, “These are facts,"
and then gave theta. The figure he
gave differed greatly with those given
by Mr. Henry in several instances.

man, spoke in opposition to the 111111
ctrdmont, but had be some other things
to say. He was regretful that the
estimate board had made any potluc-
increased the desired appropriations
as submitlod'to them. He «hoped that
the budget, in t‘ull'would pass.
He was surprised, he said, to hear
that the superintendent of schools

Mr. McMahon wanted to know if the
Union school district is to be deprived
of a principal when practical demon-
stration for the past two years or the
need of mo principals has been mani-
tested.
With b'fit live school hours and with
five schools and with but three super-

speaker. ’

lying schoo s to the centrally located
institutions and use the money that

i fray the transportation expenses.
it is absolutely necessary to have
1 a male teacher or principal in each
I school, he decided.
Continuing Mr McMahon expressed
his surprise at the presumed powers
of the school board in usurping power
1 to select a superintendent until after

i pai‘can be legally employed until af-
ter that date, he claimed. "i believe
1 the consolidation of schools will come
‘ eventually. but it will be in a different

Dr Tracey said that everyone knows
1 it is not legal to elect a superinten-
1 dent until after July 15th, but if the
board had waited he explained they
would not know whither to seek for a

Mr. McMahon said that if a principal

position and it. would be unnecessary
to seek him. (Applause) ,
Dr. Tracey retaliated with the state.

Dr. Tracout believes that. the sorrow
merit of teachers is even now too late ‘
to give them a last chance and thinks
the board of estimate should meet in
December or January.
He claimed for the school board
that they acted in good faith and did
the best they could under the circum~
stances. He agreed that a male prin-
cipal is an advantage in each school.
Charles J. Ferris, of Henry street,
regretted greatly "that the Center
school principal has been apparently
forgotten and said that “there is out 8;
better principal in town."
Mr. McMahon said that he felt it
his duty to attend the first meeting of
the joint sessions of school commit-
tees and board, but felt that said duty
expired with that one meeting.

McMahon stated that he would not

Mr. Henry was again ready to be
