And not without just cause we think. Why
should the teachers of our public school, hold
ing the most arduous and responsible positions
in society, in which we are all personally in
terested, be subjected to the inconveni-
ence of waiting three months for their pay


when almost all other occupations and callings
receive theirs monthly? We often hear COM
plants from persons employed in shops if they
have to wait few days or week after the
usual time, yet it seems to be expected that
the teachers Of our public school must wait
three months, without a murmur We are
informed that their pay has been due for two
weeks and no effort yet made to pay it. Cer-
tainly, for the credit of our town, we ought to
show some little appreciation of the services
of this useful class of persons, whose position
in society subjects them to the criticisms and
complaints of every person in the community.


But few weeks ago there was an article in
THE REooRD complaining of a want of prompt
ness on the part of some of the teachers at
school hours Would it not be well for the
Board of Trustees to set an example of pune
tuality and prQmptness in paying the teachers
not every three months but every month !?
