Some favor do ing away with the oflioe ot uuporin- tundeut and employing iiiHteau two principal Gnu for the Houth Hide Huhool and the other for the north aide. They would pay those prin oipab ) $60 per month each , Now the superintendent rooeiven $00 and the principal $45 per month or the two $185. In that event , ore principal would teach the llth and 12th grades and the other , grades 9th and lOtb , and dispense with the service of one teacher MI'BS LaVars who has the 10th and llth gradcm. She ii paid $40 a mouth. This plan would make a Having of $75 per month or $075 for the school year. Other members of the board favor retaining Prof. Adarnnou at $90 per month and principal ftfaoy for the name price paid now $45 , and have the two loach the llth nnd 12th and Oth and 10th grades'thus doing away with the extra toaohur for the 10th nnd llth grades , which would save $40 a month They would require all pupils above the 8th grade to purchase their own Alum is used in some baking pow ders nnd in most of the so-called phosphate pouders. because it is cheap , and makes a cne.iper pou der.

There are applicants who offer to accept the supnrintendcncy lor seventy dollars per month. Amen them are J. W G. Lewis , who had charge of the summer school hero last year , and Prof Carloton. There are those on the board who favor the employment of a superintendent at seventy dollars per month and .A he and the principal teach the llth and 12th and Dili and 10th grades , and thus dispense with the extra teacher , which would make a re duction of sixty dollars u month or five hundred forty dollars for the year , besides the amount proposed of two hundred fifty dollars on books , giving a total reduction of seven hundred ninety dollars for the year on those two funds. Just which of the three plans will bo ad opted is hard to tell , but the proba bilities are that the superintendent or the schools will not bo dispensed with , but that he will bo required to loach the llth and 12th gradi'H.
