several different teachers before he was
successful in securing the services of one.
We recall one instance when a committee
man, not very long ago, was not troubled
10 find teacher for the school in his dis
trict. The only difficulty he experienced
was in keeping the matter of engaging a
teacher secret till near the time for school
to begin. Before the beginning of term

whether he had engaged teacher or not.
"No," he said, ~ have had several obliga-
tions, but have not discepted any of them
yet
