The treasurer of the school board nt
Monday's mooting mnde nn eloquent
plea In favor of his motion to reduce
the teacheis' salaries Without ad
mitting or denying tho wisdom or ne

board recpi ed as commission $152.9fi.
This was simply for cashing tho orders
drawn by the board. It Is probable the
whole amount of work involved in his
duties could be transacted in ono day,
nnd yet several of the teachers taught
school for live whole months last year
nnd then did not cam ns much as the
treasurer did foi nbout ono day's work.
