Mr. Ferris also reported that Pro-
fessor Ennis had recommended an
additional teacher in the High School
and an increase for the teachers in

ran up against the finances Of the
board Mr. Ferris read the estimates
and expenses for last year. The
teachers salaries amount to S7650,
and the expenses last year were $244
more than the receipts The commit
tee would like 10 increase salaries,
Mr. Ferris said but Il cannot do so.
Mr. Coudiss referred 10 the recon-
mendations Of the principal, and said
he favored the employment OF new
teacher for the High School
President Jemison said he could not
see how the board could afford to
engage the additional teacher owing
20 the condition of the finances.

would REQUIRE another teacher HI
felt It would be best to drop the com

tioral teacher for the High School

crease the salaries this year because
Of the financial condition Of the
board The additional teacher plar
also was dropped for the present.
