Ii has been openly canvassed here, whether
teacher of public school has right to
make the high school buildings book aud
stationery store, and we would ask, mas
much as tn is is done, why it would not be
an excellent plan for the principal to open
restaurant and furnish the children with
dinner at forty cents head, at the same
| time cutting short the intermission so as to
preclude the possibility of their going home
to dinner ? We suggest this to our school
| trustees, that they may enable whoever is
| principal next term to exc out a scanty sub :
sistence in addition ID Sl400 salary and
commission on nearly all the school books
and stationery used in the schools. If the
grocerymen complained of this it would then
be no worse for them than it now is for the
stationers .-Bennington Gazette.
