Emergency in 1932
It is not too late to re v ise th e p rop osed budg et! N o w is th e tim e to

heed the plea of all gro u p s w ho sp oke a t th e b u d g e t h e a r in g on this
m a tte r.
In 1932, w h e n a so-called “e m e rg e n c y ” w a s d e c la re d in th is city, absence

W hen this e m e rg en c y was over, the B o a rd of E stim a te passed a r e so lu ­

T he B o a rd of E stim ate, h ow ever, did n o t r e s to r e th e m o n e y n ecessary
fo r full abscnce re fu n d s for teachers. T h e B o a rd of E d u ca tio n ha s failed

N e w Y o rk City tea c h e rs the only g ro u p of p u b lic ly paid em ployees who

Sometimes Death Results
M uch h a rd sh ip has come to tea c h e rs b e cau se of this discrim inatio n.
T ea ch e rs go to school w h e n ill becau se th e y c a n n o t afford to lose th e d a y ’s

W hy this u n fa irn e ss co ntinu es we c an n o t say, b u t th e B o a rd of E d u c a ­
