superintendent OF public schools has sent word
to the several principals that the teachers will
be paid on Wednesday, oath inst: Why can
they not be paid on Saturday, goth inst? AS
the disbursing clerk usually pays the colored
teachers at the Sumner building first, and does
not reach the Franklin building, where the
white teachers assemble, until about II O'Clock,
the result will be that many Of the latter will
not receive their checks in time to have them
cashed at the Treasury department, which
closes at noon on Christmas eve. For this rea-
son IL N the earnest wish of many teachers that
the date of payment may be changed to Satur-
day, the 10th inst.
