Teachers and Their Pay.

| .HHr. -... sNreE
Day after day comes the queruIons
complaint. and complaining query from
the teachers of our County, "Where
and when and how are we to get our
pay"
To say eve dunno" sounds like the
sulky school-boy, who cares very little
how his master, who, perhaps, has just
logged him, gets his pay, or whether
he gets any at all. We do feel n SYM
pathy for this class of cur people, who
are hard worked, illy-paid at the best,
and who now arc deprived Of the means
Of livelihood.
The Legislature has recently passed
a Supplemental Act to the School Law,
making a larger appropriation for the
pay Of teachers. l, is tho duty Of the
County School Commissioners to make
the rcquisition for the pay due to teach
ers for past services.
We would suggest to the teachers of
our County, who we believe have orga-
nized themselves into n Society, to ap-
point an active Committee, who will sec
the School Commissioner, aud press the
matter upon his attention.
No class of our people, more deserve
or more need the regular. payment of
their salaries than the teachers, and the
matter should be attended to. Let the
teachers make a bold effort, and none
will withhold their aid, in securing their
ust compensation.
The present Scllool-Law affords ample
means of securing q good education to
all the children of our County. If its
requisites are carried out, by the officers,
good teachers, school-houses, textbooks,
the pay of teachers, and an interest in
the cause of education will be secured.
Let :he officers do their duty?

1t ia a very significant fact, that notwith-

never lost one whit Of its popularity, but, ON
the contrary, the call for 1t has steadily in
creased from its first discovery, and at no
previous time has the demand for it been SO
great, or the quantity made been so large,

Another significant fact is, that nowhere

pute, or been more generally used by fami-
lies and individuals, than it has been here at

troduced. That the Pain Killer will contin-
