NOW is THE TIME TO EMPLOY,
Advice as to Who Shall Be Chosen
for Teachers.

for Teachers.
Now is the time for the school
boards of the county to employ their
teachers for next year, and those
who neglect to do so will lose, accord
ing to County Superintendent Frank
K. Welles.
In speaking to the East Oregonian
on the subject this afternoon, Mr..
welles said;
"Four-fifths of the good that is de-
rived from a school comes from the
teacher, and consequently it is of the
greatest Importance that care should
be taken to secure the very best ma
terial possible to fill the positions.
ITO secure the proper teachers it
Il now absolutely necessary for
boards to select their teachers early
and all the best schools are doing
so. Nearly all of the acceptable
teachers secure schools early and
with little difficulty nowadays and
districts that tarry in the matter sim
ply must take what remains"
Superintendent Welles is a strong
advocate Of the employment Of home
people as teachers wherever possi-
Bile, believing such to be not only
right, but also the best policy as re-
CARDS the school work.
by selecting home people for
teachers boards know the ability OF
those employed and likewise the
teachers know the conditions of the
country, the cost of living, ETC., and
are much more liable to be satisfied
with their work Whereas, when
they are secured from abroad there
is nothing to go by but recommenda.
tions, which may be easily obtained
and there is the possibility of get
ting an incompetent teacher.
I'm selecting teachers for the com
ing winter contracts should be made
with them for the entire term to b'
taught and preference shoula p'
given to those holding certificates
oyer those having only a permit"
The following contracts have jus
been filed in the superintendent of
flee:
T. w. Tandy, in district No. 81, TO
an eight-months school at $50 pc
month.
w. H. Musselman as principal o
the Ferndale school at a salary o
$40 per month.

a series of articles on The Greatest
Trust in the World" in the first in
stalment he reveals a monster monop.

holding in its grasp all the meat, fruit,

Unsuitable ambition to control all the

shows its srasping hand closing surely

this terrible trust is gaining a power
