School Board Expeota saa. .ooo.

The Board Of Education has not yet
received its dividend from the state
but the treasury check is expected on
Monday. The amount which the board
will receive is estimated at about $34,-
900, which is about $500 less than last
year. The difference in the apportion-
ment is due to the fact that more
teachers are employed in the country
districts this year and this cuts down
the dividend for Wilmington.
