person' whose name was - nocx made

equipment would make necessary the -employment
of another teacher, arid v
that this Would appear somewhat in :
the nature of discrimination between
the ' grammar schools, . and owing to ,
the .further , fact that the board does
not have the; money to spare for an
other teacher in this year's budget, the -matter
was postponed for considera- -
