he added in explanation. "Then
because the teachers specifically
requested It and In order, to help
them adjust themselves to a 12
months' condition, we-paid them
a full month's salary November

a check for a full month's salary.
they actually receired pay for one-
half month in advance, or to Sep
tember 15, Cupper stated. There
fore, he maintained, pay only for

method of payment to be followed

that on October 5, 1936, they

the nature of the payments made
by the district, this week.
