Supt. Arthur Farquhar had not
been able up TO Wednesday to supply
all the schools of the county with
teachers. Appeals to old teachers and
to out of town teachers has been in
vain. The prevalent low wages have
driven them from the profession. No
8, Sharon is still without teacher
and it is one of the largest schools in
the county. 1t will have over fifty
pupils this winter. They pay forty
+ dollars per month to a first grade GER
) tificate and it seems they should find
some one to fill the place. When the
vacancy occurred at the Oakfield
Academy, Supt. Farquhar wrote te
President Searly if he could supply 8
teacher at fifty dollars and he replied
that good professional men who spent
a thousand dollars for their education
could not be got for that small figure.
: 1t is measly sum when one considers
what it costs to get good education.
A young man goes to law school anc
J gets his education and no one ques
tions his right to big fees for his know

loss. But when it touches the purs'
{ to little more tax for school purposes
to give his children better advantages
he groans and pulls upon the strings
