der the greatest financial difficulties.
The last four months of the year ending
December 81, 1874, and six months of the
year ending December 81, 1875, are still I'M
paid.
The pecuriary embarrassment resulting
from the suspension of payment has COM
PEELED the teachers to have recourse to
brokers ard other money lenders, who are
ever ready to speculate upon the necessi-
ties of their fellow beings, buy up the Ger
tifcates Of the teachers at tho lowest rates,
sometimes at a loss OF seventy -hVe per cent
| or ninety per cent to the teacher, ana taey
often reject those certificates WHICH oner
not sufficient security.
When it is considered that the teachers
are for the most part ladies, many OF whom
| have large families depending wholly upon
| their salary for support, it will bo readliy
| conceived that great distress and suffering
necessarily follow.
Through all these difficulties the teachers
| have displayed uneXampled patience anu
| devotion; true to their charge they have al
ways been found st their post; want and
| privatiou have found them mistaken. Bat
| this they can no longer endure The teach
ers therefore appeal TO YOU with the conf
| dent trust that ycu will sympathlzo With
| their suGsrings aud devise some means Tor
| their relief. Surely those on whom rests SO
great a responsibility az the successful
training OF the fututo citizens CT the coH-
| munity, thoae have great and lasting
| claim upon the generosity and justice CT
