        LLANTRISSANT SCHOOL BOARD.

        THE FINANCES OF THE BOARD.

        The monthly meeting of the Llantrissant School Board was held on Friday, Mr Gwilym Williams in the chair.

        <snip>

        Miss Mary John had some while since been appointed head mistress of Cymmer (new) Girls' School at a salary of £40 per annum, together with the grants. Mr John, of Llwynypia, brother of Miss John, now appeared before the board, and said that as the advertisement for the mistress, which was put in the newspapers, stipulated that the school would be opened on August 8th, and Miss John could not get disengaged in time, he had engaged a locum tenens. The school, however, had not been opened until this month, so he had had to pay the lady two months' salary for nothing. As he had been misled by the advertisement, he asked the board to recoup this outlay. - The matter was adjourned for a month.
