THE TEAcHERs, sALARIEs

According to what was said ycster-
day teachers in the public schools of
Portsmouth will experience the sensa-
ton of hope deferred in regard to the
payment of their salaries. and the pros
pect Of their being in funds before the
middle of next month is growing beau
tifully less as the days go by. Sep
tcmber is the only month in the school
year in which there is any delay, and
delay then is hard to bear. because 1t
finds the teacher. after her ssummer
campaign and vacation. fairly and en-
phatically broke.
The delay this month is owing to the
failure to materialize up to this time OF
the States quota of the school fund.
and TO the additional fact that city
taxes arc coming in slowly. too. City
Treasurer Geo. A. Tabb will issue the
checks as soon as he has money in
hand with which to pay them.
