To the Editor.of the Star:
The School Board is now going to cu
down the salaries of the teachers, abolisl
the office of Superintendent and lastly they
are going to take the pittance that would bt
required to keep up the German class 1t il
a notorious fact, that in the various State
in the North and West the Trustees visit the
schools at least once a week, while with u
such is not the case. Some of our Trustees
have never seen the inside of a schoolroon
in their official capacity, and how can thest
gentlemen dispense with the Superintend
ent, who is the only executive that attends
to the business management of the schools
The High School scholar costs us $42 pc
annum, the Common School pupil Sc an(
the Grammar So so annually. The attend
ance at the High School, under the pressure
Of the times, has steadily decreased, anC
only the wealthy can keep it up to gradua
ton. If Common Schools are for the com
mon people, let them be kept up and wei
sustained and do not rob the most con
scientious taxpayer the German citizen
of the trifie that he in fact pays in tithes
If the wealthy citizens desire High Schools
let them endow them and support them GU
OF their pockets, or else wall up the Higl
School lot and make a Jail and Work-hous
OF It, That is economy for you!
