the state are leaving for their homes
to spend the summer without knowing
whether or not they viii be reappolnted
for next year The school board has
not yet completed the list Of appoint
mCnts for the next school year. and no
announcements viii be made until the
end OF next week. The school board is
considering d raise for the teachers who
have been employed in the schools for
number of years, and this is delaying
the selection OF teachers, as each one
must be graded in salary according to
her length Of teaching service
Because the school board is out OF
debt. the discount was not made at the

ers received the amounts which had
been added in the past to the warrants
and then deducted by the banks to meet
the discount necessary. as long as the
warrants were not held at mar.
