The school committee arc pondering over the problem of wages and find it a most perplexing one They rather lean to the opinion that the teachers are iiot overpaid but the pop ular demand for retrenchment will doubtless lead to some reduction and it will probably be made by further discrimination between the teachers of different grades or degrees of expe rience Under the present arrangement all teachers up to the grammar school receive the same salary7 no matter how long they have served excepting a few primary assistants who receive less The result is that they are un willing to take higher grades when the princi pals want them to but an increase of salary would probably take away their unwillingnessSuperintendent Stone is studying how he cm consolidate schools and hopes'to dispense with enough assistant teachers to save 87000 to 87500 in salaries Two temporary assistants have al ready been dismissed and others will be at the beginning of next term but the plan will not be fully developed until the middle of the term Miller Alien Co (Reuben and Myron Allen) are voluntary and A Knight Co (A and Edwin Knight) of this city invol untary petitioners in bankruptcy
