Boards of Education-Levies and Sal
aries of Teachers.

Hedgesville Board of Education
met Monday and levied 3315 cents for
teachers fund and I675 cents for
building fund. Teachers salaries re-
main the same as last year-$2S for
No. and $25 for No. 2. The princi-
pal of Hedgesville graded school will
receive $45 per month and must be
able to teach higher algebra, second
year Latin and geometry. We under
stand the Board prefers a frst-class
lady rather than second rate gentle
man. This is one of the best Open
ings i'll the county for really good
teacher. Three rooms will be used
instead of four as heretofore, necessi-
tating only three teachers, two of
whom have been selected.
The Opequon Board levied 80 cents
for teachers and IS cents for building.
Wages remain same as last year-$2S
for No, l. and $z6 for No. 2. A new

pronounced it local disease, and

treatment. pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore,
requires constitutional treatment.
