The plight of the teachers throws the most glaring light on the municipal impoverishment. With the one exception, when they were paid a month s salary in cash in September, they have had to scrimp, go without lunches, wear shabby clothes. Some accepted payment in scrip, which was either accepted at heavy discount or refused by merchants. Savings accounts have melted away. Valuables have been pawned.
