that once every 100 years a little bird
came flying to the top of the mountain

There was numerous applications from

60 employ home teachers first, espeoiall y
such as were well known and competent.
A moderate reduction In salaries was made
In some instances, and gracefully submit

TO agree with the Board in the necessity Of
economy. The State appropriation being
less each year the two horns of the dilem-
ma seems 70 be either TO reduce salaries or
to lay a township tax. The prospective
high tax rate this year precludes the idea
OF meeting the emergency that way. AT
