PhenI, CItv Teachera.

Phenix City, May 3.-(Speci cial )-TfR election of teachers for the Phenix City public schools was deferred by the school trustees last night until their June meeting. There were only niEe or ten applicants whereas the number usually runs as nigh as 150. The small number of applicants was due to the change made by the trustees in the school team, making a two-months va cation in the middle of the W . CT. in- stead Of one or two weeks, as IS cuS- tomary.
 It was voted last night to go back to the old custom of a solid school term, with an intermission of only lew days at Christmas and 1t Is believed that this will cause the board to re- ceive the usual number of applications for teachers places.
