Just who will get tired first. is the
question that is arousing interest
among the people who are neither in
favor nor opposed to vaccination. with
regards to the daily presence and daily
ejection of the two Houghton children
as well as the O'Neill child and the
Lynch child, from the Franklin Junior
High school. by the police. under or-
ders from the Health Board and pros-
ecutor. because the children are not
vaccinated and have been in contact
with children who are quarantined
with smallpox.
Ever since Friday. the Houghton
children have been asked to leave
the school. and every morning they re-
turn. having been sent there by their
mother. The O'Neil child and the
Lynch child. it was learned had not
been vaccinated. and they too were re-
quested to lenve’. and they too return
each day.
The MedicaL Liberty League is anxi-
ous to have the matter threahed out.
and have made certain vague state-
ments as to their future activity in the
matter, but nothing beyond the letter
of protest presented to the council at.
its meeting last night. has been heard

The Board of Education. at an ad—
journed meeting held last night in the
Norwalk High School auditorium,
voted not to accept a report of the
Committee on Schools which recom-
mended that 325 be added to each
grade teacher‘s salary where teachers
are not receiving the benefit of the
sliding scale up to $1,400. the maxi—
mum fired by the board for grade
teachers. providrd that this could be
accomplished legally and without
augmenting the budget. The vote
was six to two against accepting the
recommendation. Those who opposed
the salary increase did so on the
ground that Corporation Counsel \Vil-
liam F. Tammany had ruled that to
increase the salary according to the
teachers' committee recommendation,
would be illegal.
A second report by the teachers
committee was unfavorable toward an
increase of $100 in the'salary of head
teachers in the public schools as re—
quested in a petition to the board at
its last meeting. The board voted to
accept the report. There was no
comment.
A score‘ of teachers were present
when the board turned down the pro-
position to add $25 to teachers‘ sal-
aries where the teachers were not re~
ceiving the maximum salary of $1,-
400. The matter came up early [in
the session when Clinton B. Rowland.
