West Side Public Schools.

The West Side School Board did
a sensible thing yesterday when
they let out for the time being Z
teachers, on account of the slim at
tendance. The Sun Set teachers
two in number was layed off as also
the one on Rose Hill, and two col
ored teachers out of the colored
school. The board did not stop here
but let out the music teacher and
the physical culture teacher, This
will save the school 1910 a month,
We learn from close listening
that the School Fund is in a
healthy condition, in fact there is
some 5000 in the same, but this is
no reason that it should be squan-
dered on salaries to teachers, when
there is no children to teach.
