Mr, Osborne told the Board that in view of the criticism the Board should consider taking a vote of confidence in the school staffs. P, K. Draimin also stated that he believed a vote should be taken and entered in the records. 'Three members. of the Board, Mr, Osborne, F. C. Hatch and D. A, Wilson, said that they did not be- lieve that Mr. Strathy had meant the remark in the manner in which it was taken. Mr, Osborne added that he thought Mr. Strathy had meant that if the Board of Edu- cation would raise the salaries of the teaching staffs in the schools it would give them more incentive to do their job and do it well Mrs, PF. Wells sald that if this was what had been meant by the remark it had been made at a very inopportune time in view of the fact that the Board had authorized increases in pay to the teaching staff for two years in succession. gr THE FIRESIDE HOUR Sat, Jan. 11 - 8 p.m. «in - The Council Chambers Subject: "A WEDDING INVITATION" YOU'LL ENJOY "HYMNSING" In a recent game between the |§ English team and a touring Amer- jcan amateur team, Chappell scored two goals, one of which came a few before the end of the Fume to give the English team a Greenwood ® 0,0 Activities MAY E.
