GENTLEMEN i have several reasons Tor
| applying to you NJ this time for an increase

! turc on my part for apparatus aud chemt
Gals. (Mr GlOver's Outlay for this branch
| last term was over twenty dOliArs) and
with my present 50 airy, do not feel war
ranted in making su5h expenditure. Be
sides, this branch requires on tho pant of
the instructor, both time and labor in
preparing experiments, aud most OF this
work must ho done ont Of school hours.
Ii you will allow me, | wish to make a
short statement. We have now on our
| curriculum tightCtA different branches, all
Of which | have taught, or AN now teach
Ing, except Crock aud German. Tue Tor.
mcr | stu lied for two years as pupil at
school TO tho latter | have never given
any attention.
During the fifteen years have been
employed in the high school, Ihave taken
whatever branches have been assigned TO
me by our worthy principal, without ask
ing whether they were hiyh or loo. as my
sole purpose in the past has been, and in
the future shall be, to aid him, and bcno
tit the school as much as may be Ia my
power.
Hoping this may be kindly considered

to lose the valuable services Of Ne. J. O..
Gable in the boys high school, aud most
heartily second his request for advance oi
salary. Very respectfully,
J Z. MCCAsKEY.
On motion Of Dr. Carpenter Mr. Cables
salary was increased from $40 to 900 pei
