BOARD RULING MAYCUTOFF 50 TEACHERS Night School Principals Will Confer on Order This Morning. AFFECTS THOSE IN U. S. EMPLOY Appropriations Act Holds Joint Salary Not to Be More Than $2,000. Enforcement of the school appro priation act may compel the dismissal of approximately fifty teachers In the night schools when night school principals meet at Franklin School this morning to determine how they shall comply with the section requiring that no employe of the Board of Edu cation who Is also an employe of the government, shall receive compensa tion if the combined salaries exceed $2,000. There are mora than oue hundred nfrfht school teachers, many -of whom, ft Is said, hold positions with the gov ernment which would conflict with the regulation. One feature of the ruling wh'.ch is regarded as particularly strii*;,?nt, it Is said, forbids not only the actual earning of more than $2,000 but de clares that the monthly rate of In come shall not exceed an amount which would aggregate $2,000 If it should contlntie for a year. The night schools operate only eight months and this fact reduces still further the earning capacity of the teachers. Makes Commtmmt Trovfcle. Practically all of the teachers in 1 the night schools. It is said, have other employment. This is made necessary, j It is shown, by the fact that the aver I ago night school salary Is about $500 I a year. ' . Heretofore night school teacher* have been hired on a contract basis. If a government employe, who is a teacher, has a salary of $1,700. ii* contract* to teach for $300. making a total of $2,000. However, if the posi tion pays more than $360, it necessi tates his working for leas pay than regular teacherp. This practice ha* pot found favor 'n the eyes of the regular teaafeiftg force and has caused endles? trouble to school officials in raising and lowering contracts. If a teacher'* salary In the government poa tlon Is advanced, the school salary must ho lowered. And If it approaches $2,000 the teacner r ust be dismissed. C Hnifn Freqifnt Chasgf*. As a result, officials say It often happens tl\at four or five d fferent teachers are employed for one class during the year. This detracts from the quality of Instruction. School officials now plan to place n'ght school compensation on a per diem basis. Whereas the contract method allowed the salary to h* j reckoned over a period of nlnf i months, the new method will raise j the rate of pay wvthout actually In creasing the salary. It Is believed ' that the Comptroller of the Tr^k | sury may rule that the per ^lem compensation method may ,he adopt, ed w thout the lose of employment to any of the present teaching staff. Superintendent Ballou has asked Congress for two successive years to remove the $2,000 salary restric tion. This has been granted so far as day teachers ar/ concerned but the rule st 11 prohibits employe* of the government from receiving ! an aggregate salary of more than ] the stipulated amount.
