The three persons last mentioned were
licensed because teachers could not be
secured averaging AZ or over, at the
wages offered. Three other persons
averaged over 40 and less than As; one,
an old teacher, refused to teach at the
terms he could secure; another is teach
ing in an adjoining county; the third de
sires to make more thorough prepare
ton before entering the work of teach
ing. In licensing those below As, the
person attaining the highest average was
first offered the opportunity of engaging
one Of the vacant positions, then the
next, and so on, until enough teachers
were secured to fill the schools.
One hundred and thirty seven appli-
cants applied for certificates Out of this
number one hundred and seventeen were
licensed, all unusually large per cent.
being successful. The raising of the
standard from 40 to 45 has the effect to
greatly increase the efficiency OF the
teaching force Of the county, viewed cd
ucationally. Comparisons might be
made between the averages obtained the
past fall and those of one year ago show
ing this,-one will be given: Sc of
those licensed one year ago, fell below
so, but % appear in the above list as at
tanning that distinction. Such facts as
these are nnaIswerable arguments in
support of the increased average re-
quired.
Great difficulty has been experienced
in securing properly qualified teachers to
fill the schools. This result has not been
brought about alone by the higher aver
age required, as is shown by the fact that
but one person who has heretofore taught
in the county and who applied, failed to
obtain the necessary As, and that person
has since been offered the opportunity of
engaging school. To other causes then
must the scarcity of teachers be largely
ascribed. Over forty persons who taught
in the county last year are not teaching
here now. Of this number, 6 are attend
ing school, and 6 are teaching elsewhere.
but the majority have engaged in other
business. Among these some of the best
teachers that we have had may be num-
bered, and as consequence the educa
tional interests OF the county have suffer
ed by this depletion of the teaching force.
The ranks have been filed by the licens
ing o. large number of young persons,
generally of fair education, and by re-
