TEACHERS ARE SCARCE IN NEW CASTLE
Some of the County Schools Have Had to Be
Closed on Account of Sickness.

AlOSEu vi hNAUuut VI OfLkuCcs.
Because of so much sickness the
teachers of the county public schools,
and the fact that there are no young
women on the extra list, or none quail
fed to accept position as teacher in
these schools, several of them have
been closed and the children of the
outlying districts obliged to remain at
home and do without their schooling
except that which their parents are able
to give them. According to Professor
A. r. Spaid, superintendent of the
county public schools, they have never
before been SO short of teachers. Not
one young women is prepared at this
time to be substituted for the several
teachers now on the sick list, and this,
of course, leaves these places vacant
and necessitates the closing of the
schools. One teacher is so i'll that she
will not be able to return to her
duties again for three months
and another will be kept away
for three weeks at least. This, accord
ing to Professor Spaid, is very un
fortunate condition of affairs and hs
stated that unless something is done
very soon the county schools will con
tinue short of teachers.
