But Salaries Of Teachers Will Run
Until Monday, May A.
DECISION LAST EVENING.
Teachers Are Given Thirty Days Noe
uce- Eighth Grade Classes May be
Continued by Principals.

AZ the meeting Of the board Of educa-
ton last night as a committee of the
whole II was decided that the public
schools of this city shall close on Fri
day, May l. just one month earlier than
usual The depleted condition of the
boards treasury is responsible for such
action, Even by closing a month ear
ller there will be a deficit Of SlG,02i5l,
provided the balance on hand at the
close of school, amounting TO Sl3, 1855 40,
is applied on the payment Of the $4,000
note held by Mr.. Mccormick. which will
undoubtedly be done,
Clerk Moreton submitted financial
statement to the board last night show
Ing that the balance on hand at present
is s66666 45. 1t will cost $4,000 80 to
run the schools until May !, which
would leave balance Of sl3965 40.
which, If applied on the $4,000 note.
would leave deficit as given above.
A general discussion was entered into
as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of keeping the
schools open part of the month of May
at least. but the proposition was voted
down by the majority. The matter OF
appropriating a part Of the building
fund to the general maintenance fund
and thereby keeping the schools open the
full term was also discussed. but 1t was
decided that such action would be il
legal. II was finally decided that the
schools shall close on Friday May |, but
that the term of employment Of the
teachers shall run until Monday May 4,
In order that the board could give the
teachers the required 80 days notice.
The notice which will be mailed to each

Of the most heneticent achievements in
the direction of the spread OF cpnstitu-
uonal government was the purchase Of
the vast territory known as l.ouisian
from france by the United States OF
America. This imperial domain, during
us century OF American ownership, has
become the home Of millions of free peo-
pie and Is today represented by appro-
pirate stars IN the national emblem as
10 splendid c0mmonwealths. Within its
limits Is produced everything necessary
fog the welfare and comfort Of civilized
man. It's resources are beyond estimate,
us fertility, loneliness and wealth beyond
description.
To commemorate the acquisition Of this
mighty ana magnificent territory, II has
been decided to arrange q universal ex-
position IN the city OF 81, Louis, All the
nations ana peoples Of the world are in
ylted TO be represented, and most of them
nave already promised that they will be.

Tying will have been formally and actu-
ally begun.

never had before. The late Legislature
