Governor Lehman’s return from a

A suit brought by 377 Firemen to
compel the City of Neio York to pay
them about $150,000 they claimed
was due as the difference between
their $1,200 salary while on proba­
tion and the $2,000 they feel entitled
to was lost last week. The end of
the litigation came when Supreme
Court Justice Wasservogel granted a
cross motion by the city to dismiss
the case. The court ruled that in­
asmuch as the men had failed to
sign their payrolls under protest they
had lost their c l a i m s f o r additional
compensation.
The firemen affected by last week’s
action began their probationary pe­
riod in^the summer of 1939. They
were inducted into the serince at
salaries of $1,200 to be paid at that
rate for the six months probationary
period. In previous years new ap­
pointees received the regular $2,000

Supervisor of D.O. 48, loas given
a luncheon by his co-ivorkers on
the eve of his transfer to D O. 43.
Phil, who has been in need of a
really good fountain pen, now has
it. The staff gave him an elegant

Pa Knick’s child prodigies will be
thoroughly tested by experienced
psychologists before they are placed
in special “gifted children" classes,
if Dr. Morris Krugman, chief psychol­
ogist of the Bureau of Child Guid­
ance, has his way. According to Dr.
Krugman only trained psychologists
should he used to measure, analyze
and probe the city’s embryo Kierans.
The practice of having untrained
persons administer and interpret the
Sanford-Binet tests is harmful to the
children and should be abolished.
A t a recent meeting of the Asso­
ciation of Psychologists of the New
York City Public Schools, Dr. Krug­
man suggested that the city utilize
the thirty-five psychologists assigned
to three bureaus of the Board of
Education for this purpose. The three
bureaus to which these psychologists
are now assigned: Reference; Re­
search and Statistics; Child Guidance
and C.R.M.D.

The P ro blem o f S u b stitu tes
Sirs: A s one who has always been
employed privately and never in
the public service, may I take ex­
ception to Mrs. Healy’s article in
your Tuesday’s issue. The position
taken is manifestly unfair and de­
cidedly contrary to public interest.
I know of numerous young
women who have been employed
as permanent substitutes from
three to six years — a n d are today
permanently employed — doing all
the work, assuming all the respon­
sibilities and getting one half or
less of the remuneration of regular
teachers. These people are con­
stantly taking courses to increase
their teaching knowledge at their
own expense and sacrifice of time.
Is the experience of these substi­
tutes, their conscientiousness and
their sacrifice to go for naught?
The Board of Education has
placed these people on the eligible
lists, extended these lists, given
encouragement to substitutes to
continue in the system and now
your columnist says: “Eliminate
these substitutes!” These are the
same substitutes without whom
the N.Y.C. Education system could
not function effectively, for w ith­
out them sabbatical, maternity,
health and sick leave vacancies
could not be filled and chaos would
ensue. Is the policy advocated in
the public interest? No, decidedly
not!! Private industry has always
pursued a policy of aiding, assist­
ing, and promoting apprentices and
subordinate employees with a
great deal of benefit. Can anyone
honestly advocate a different
policy in the public service? I
cannot and will not. Nor can your
publication if it has the gen­
uine interest of civil service and
good government as its aim.
R obert J . B r o w n .
Sirs'. In answer
Mrs. Healy’s
letter appearing in your column,
Tuesday, Mrs. Healy seems to be
under some misapprehension as to
the status of License No. 1 E li g i ­
bles. I happen to be one of those
on the July, 1930 list. I have been
employed as a permanent substi­
tute (doing the same work as the
regular teacher) for the past 6 %
years. Prior to that I did day sub­
stitute work, teaching about % of
the school term. I do not call this
record inexperience! I have re ­
ceived a B.S. degree from Colum­
bia University during this time
and in February well receive an
M.A. degree. Is this a state of
being stale? My vase is not very
different from hundreds and hun­
dreds of others.
Mrs. Healy mentioned the fre­
quent promulgation of lists some
to
9 o r 10 years ago. Who xoas re­
sponsible for this short-sighted
policy—certainly not the Eligibles.
Because w e happen to be sincerely
interested in elementary education
we are called stagnant! If we are
good enough to be teaching as
permanent substitutes—if we are
entrusted
with
overcrowded
classes at $7 per day—w hy are we
not good enough to be appointed
teachers?
