Excerpt from Thirteenth Annual Report of the Board of Education: Together With the Thirteenth Annual Report of the Secretary of the BoardThe Legislature at its last session, upon the representation of a committee of this Board appointed for that purpose, ih creased the annual appropriation for the support of these schools from six thousand to seven thousand dollars The additional sum has been distributed by the Board among the three schools, and appropriated to the increase of the salaries of the teach ers, - an object of the highest importance, since their salaries before were considerably less than those of the teachers of our best private and public schools, and even now are not equal to them. This appropriation is gratefully acknowledged by the Board in behalf of the institutions committed to their care. It furnishes another proof of the liberality of the Legislature of Massachusetts when invoked in aid of her schools, and gives another pledge, that her representatives Wisely appreciate the true interests of her people.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
