Spending the Money.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Alderman was held in the
mayors office ut So'clock Friday night,
Mayor Russ presided; routine business
was transacted-and a few new ordi-
nances enacted. Alderman Boushall,
chairman of the Finance Committee,
made special report, bearing upon
the cities receipts and disbursements,
with special reference to the allotments
made by the Board to the different de
partments. This report showed that
several OF the departments had al
ready spent their allottments, while
Others had gone beyond it, and that I'D
to the present time the expenditures
were sufficient to take 81 900 more than
the probable receipts would amount to
and unless there was retrenchment
the city would be right much in debt at
the end of the fiscal year, March lst.

To the Members Of the County Hoard
Of Edueaficn and Superviscrs:
DxAx SIas: | wish to urge you 20
have the teachers examined on the
public days provided for By Law. There
are two special reasoos Why this should
be done, viz, economy and syfemasir
work on the part Of the Sapervtsos.
How will il save money!
| End under the present Asrauge-
ment In some counties that very few
teachers n. examined on the public
dare, but teachers 20 20 tie snpervis-
ors on any day in the week and any
week in tie year aud ~ . result the
Supervisors will have almost - many
days service TO be paid out Of the pub
lie fund ~ he has examined teachers.
The teachers Of every county could
be examined on one Of t1e four days
provided for in tie law, with perhaps
rare exceptions.
We ought 10 have twenty-five or
thirty teachers examined on each Of
the public days and have only 10 pay
for one days service instead Of fifteen
or twenty days, for the same number
oil teachers examined ut the present
loose way Of doing in some counties.
Where Supervisors cannot arrange
TO have separate rooms for whites
aud coiored to carry on examinations
for both races AT the same time, then
continue the examinations after the
public days until all have an oppor-
tunity to be examined.
We want this money that is paid
the Supervisor for examining one tea
cher one day and another teacher the
next day, and 30 Cd, to pay him for
supervising schools, for going out and
coming In touch with the people, and
putting life into the schools.
/ am not censuring the Supervisor
but he is annoyed and hindered in his
teaching or private business BY being
called upon to examine teacher Just at
any time, and of course cannot give
his time in this service for nothing,
and in this way he must necessarily
have large number of days service ia
comparison with the number Of appli-
cants examined.
1t seems almost needless to say that
Supervisor cannot and will not have
as carefully prepared examination just
at any and all days as he will on special
days provided for in the law. The Su-
pervisor cannot do his duty unless he
can work Systematically, and the
County Boards of Education are here.
by urged to take every action possible
to aid the Supervisor to do efficient,
systematic work and at the same time
enable him to accomplish great deal
within a few days along the line of
examinations.
In some counties the money spent
for these everyday examinations
would pay for sending the Supervisor
to a great number of the schools of the
county.
Yours truly,

superintendent of Public Instruc-
finn

University News.

Strange as it may seem but to close
observer the fact is clear, that the
greater amount of impulses aud
inspirations received during Xmas.
tide are of the best. AS a result of
this Nmas.tide influence, twenty three
of North Carolipa's sons have obeyed
the high and noble inspiration and
have put their names upon the register
of the University. This swelling of
the ranks of intellectual workers, the
future Commanders and Pilots of our
Ships of State, is due to the untiring
efforts of our brilliant, young Presi-
dent, DR.. Alderman. His efforts, it
seems to me, shall be recorded in the
annals of our State History, yea, In
our Country's History, in the deeds of
those whom he led to enlightenment.
A noticeable start has been made to-
wards the construction of the Alumni
Building and may the near future
witness its completion. j. NJ. H.

A Jewish peddler, returning home
from his weeks travels to rejoln his
family on the Sabbath. as was his
wont. was met by n highwayman who
demanded his money. Reluctantly he
parted with It, counting It into the
hand Of the robber In the hope that the
delay thus caused might bring some
wayfarer. When he was finished he
said to the robbcr, as a sudden thought
came to him: "Meester. won't you
please shoot me little hole In my
sleeve so l can show my wife that
met a real. genuine highwaymanY"
Accommodating he shot hole In his
right sleeve. his coat tail and finally
took or his hat and said: 'Now, NEE
ster, let me show my family how near
l had a hole In my head and den dey
won't be sorry dat lost my money"
The robber, who had been enjoying the
iun. told him that he couldn't because
he had no more shots. ''Now," said
the Jew, SELLING the villain. whose fire
he had so cleverely drawn, "gif me
back my money"
