The SALARY Of scboo, Officials.

Secretary John II. Brooks, of the School
Board, has furnished reply to the Commissioner.
in answer to their inquiry regarding the salaries
paid to the principals OF the First and Fourth dis.
tricts aud the Normal School, He says that the
salary OF principal Of male grammar school was
fixed by an act Of the city councils approved May
% 1868, at minimum Of 81 800 and maximum Of
81 800 per annum, the last.named amount to be re-
ceivcd after four years experience and service. An
opportunity was offered TO the trustees to secure
principal for the first school district whose
ful experience as y teacher and supervisor OF
schools was well known to them. II was deemed
wise economy TO employ him at the maximum sal.
ary. The salary of the principal Of toe Normal
School was fixed at 81 800, the amount now paid
by act of the Legislative Assembly, approved June
% 1874 The trustees thought Ii best to limit the
salary TO 81 100 per annum the first year. while the
school was an experiment and when is success
was assured 10 increase the same which has been
done
