In the expenditures of the school

repairs and Improvements that will
require an extra expenditure in the
various districts will be made during
the summer vacation months. And
the addition of furniture and fixtures,
if any will likely be had during the
summer, also.
An examination Of the pay roll, the
list of teachers and the salaries paid
it will be seen that tn teachers Of
Maury county average less than $40
FER month during the last quarter Of
the year, and this, too, notwithstand-
ing the fact that some Of them are
being. paid as much as SIS and 500
per month. In order to bring this
average down to that figure many Of
the teachers must be getting very
small salaries, for doing the most
important work that is being done
by any class or profession-the direc-
ton of the intellect and morals of
the children of the country.
This report is published by the
superintendent in accordance with
the requirements Of the school law,
for the benefit Of the taxpayers Of
the county that they may see what is
being done with this very important
portion of the public funds.

quires both care and patience togeth-
or with accuracy, and Superirten-
dent Graham has given it careful at
tention and Is to be congratulated
in neatness and accuracy of the
