Statute Violated by School-Teachers.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 7.-Every school-teacher in this city-and there are seven hundred of them-will be shocked by an order issued by the assistant clerk of the School Board, and six hundred of them will have a financial interest in the official statement. It appears that in looking up a legal question, under a law passed by the Legislature, it was discovered that the statute making it mandatory for teachers to pass examinations in hygiene, physiology and the nature and effect upon the human system of alcoholic drinks has been ignored, overlooked or forgotten by fully six-sevenths of the teachers. The salaries illegally drawn in the three years aggregate fully $300,000. The clerk notified the teachers he would refuse to honor orders for salary in the future until the proper certificates are secured.
