Volunteers Want Pay.
When the Board of Education meets next
Tuesday It will have before It the question
of allowing the volunteer teachers In the
kindergartens pay for their services. The
"volunteers" have petitioned that they be
allowed pay nt the rate of $16 or $20 a
month. This year the board abolished
the position of supervisor of kindorgnrtens
and the volunteer teachers contend that
this prevents them from receiving credit
elsewhere for the work they do here When
chances to secure positions elsewhere pro
Bent themselves.
The finance committee will recommend
an extra allowance of $16 a month be made
to Janitor Bailey of the high school for the
months of January, February and March.
Bailey has been obliged thla year to em
ploy additional help to shovel the snow off
the roof of the high school and to assist
In attending to the furnaces, which needed
extra attention during the extreme cold
weather. It Is expected that other Janitors
whose work was greatly increased during
the severe weather will be accorded extra
compensation.
