Superintendent Ferry cheerfully accepted a reduction of 1200 ; the same sum was taken from Mr. Nichols, who has the Commercial Course and writing in charge ; $100 was cut off from the allowance for teachar of music ; and the other salaries were lixod, oxcept a reduction of g25 each on f our recitation room teachers in the High and Grammar Schools, at last year'a figures,- which are lower on the average than in any other of the public schools of the State of the same grade and worfc, - with a provisión for smaller salaries for new teachers. When the final assignment of plaoes has been made we will give a list of the teachers with the salary of each.
