on the first of January 1872 we reduced the adyanc,
rrcc for the FREEMAN from S2OO to 81 50 and in nc
way curailed the value of the paper but stroye tc
make it more valuable than ever. We reduced the
rice in the hopes that it would be the means of in.
creasing our list and so well has our experiment
worked that shall continue to send the paper fol
sl5j per year. when paid In advance though white
paper has lately advanced several cents per pound
1t has not been our practice to extol the merits OF
our paper more than, if much as we have thought
iwould bear, as we have always considered our read

desired to Keep the paper or not.

A PLEA FOR THE SCHOOL TEACHER,

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
Several OF your readers are gratIfled to see
That there still remains one city journal which
Id not afraid to discuss the acts OF public
servant. / refer TO the article In your Issue of
Wednesday, headed superintendent Rogers,s
Suggestions Your remarks concerning his
unrellecting suggestions calls forth the M
probation of oil sensible mon, as we'll rs those
81 the already 0fcrtdred teachers. Docs he
seek to impose still harder duties upon those
who are promised a small compensation for
the duties they perform, and which for geve-
raj months they have not received from tho
present board; and from the ex-hoard there
remains several months Of their snlnrlas
which liz etil due, with no prospect of pay
ment. | will now add o few words to tho
wise remarks In your columns:
No minister will preach eternal truth;
No superintendent will supervise education
No lawyer will give his legal advice;
Unless they are all IMPLY paid
And yet, In the face of the teachers not
being paid for several months, whereby many
are reduced to q state or poverty the board,
ut Its last meeting, requires OF the teachers To
teach November and December, after they
express themselves Satisfied that there will be
no money TO pay for those months, and prob
ably mol Tor tho months now due. la not the
proposed action OF tho board and superin-
tendent asking too much and adding injury
upon Injury? 1t is far better and more hon
orable to close the schools than to keep them
open when they know that tho teachers will
never get q cent for what they have earned
by the sweat Of their brows.
