we are very much averse to either the
shortening OF the school term, or the reduc-
elpH VI sdlaIles Dut the condition of affairs
Whlch contronts us renders it necessary to
resort 10 DOJh measures.
We append to this report an estimate of
Ihe receipts and expenditures of the district
calculated iOr the term of nine months with
salalles reduced to the amounts reported by
gouI gl, GoihHIttee on teachers and salaries
from lhls estimate you will notice that with
an the savings gained by the shortening of
lhe term the reduction of salaries and other
[etfenchihents, there will still remain a
dehcit of over $4,000. And, further. this
ueHcit remains after computing tax levy

I'VE recommend also that the school farm
be fixed at nine months: but since ono
