Paid For First Time By Funds
 OfSchoolD
Payroll Approved by City Auditor Keating Fund of $32, 500 for Dental Clinic Remains Suspended Until Court Makes Decision.

The dental hygienists in the public school system were paid yesterday, for the first time, from public school funds, out of the general appropriation for salaries of teachers. The pay rolls were approved by City Auditor Keating, as usual. The checks drawn to the order Of the B girls and the two den- lists. were issued in the usual manner and cashed in the usual way.
 It had been overlooked that the Board of Education employs regular teachers, special teachers and substi- tute teachers. and that the staff for dental hygiene had, in accordance with custom, been enrolled as sS.cciaG teachers and certified accordingly.
 This permits the fund of $32,50o, for dental clinics, to remain in sus- pension until the counts decide which board is entitled to draw on it.
 Under Tones Direction.
 The payment of the three girls en- p1oyed on parochial school work will mature vna tomorroW roy at II o'cl9ek !s2s; pr have done their work as usual, under my direction. I assume that I am in charge of the work, since I have not been informed of my removal have made requisition to Miss Barry of the Health Board, in the usual way. She had returned the requisition, with the statement tha tit should go to the board direct. I am sending it today.'
 Tt will appear tomorrow, when these girls ask for their salaries, whether or not the Board of Health is sincere when it says that it wants dental hygiene in the parochial schools, and wants me to supervise that work in the parochial schools
