postponement of the making Of an adequate appro-
priation The matter was put before Gov
ern0r Flower and the Legislature Of 1892 in the
clearest light, and the necessity of appropria-
ton Of $500, 900 was urged with all the force
which leading business men OF this city and Of
other parts Of the State could bring to bear But

Thacher and the members OF the majority in the
Legislature thought they knew more than every

ration Of as much more, and Commissioner Thatcher
took the same view In all proba blty, the half

doubtcdly-a handy thing to have in the house.
But il he would like to commend himself to the
powers that he at Washington, let this genius

In an article on the wages OF teachers The
Providence journal" states that the average yearly
salary of male teachers in the town of Exeter
t. J., for the year ending April 30 was $40 a.
1t is clear from this-fairly clear-that the cruel

foundation.
