 Spanish School System.

f,rivate houses are now rented under the Spanish school system, which pro- vided that the teachers, with their families, should live in such houses, the rent being part payment for their services. They also collected fees from children whose parents could pay. The balance of their compensation was of ten much in arrears, and many of the teachers have not been paid for their work for the past two and one-half years prior to American occupation. No one is allowed tolive In the school houses now. The salaries range from s5O to s75 per month, according to the cize of the municipality. The principalk receive s10 extra per month. No cer- tiflcates are required of the teachers this year, but will be after Aug. 1. Tho teachers are appointed by the local boards of education. which in turn arc appointed by the mayors.
