AUDUBON COUNTY SCHOOLS
BY Next Monday Every School Will
Probably be in Session.

County Superintendent Ella M.
Stearns reports that nearly all the
schools are now in session ip this
county and IL she can secure one more
teacher all will be open by Monday OF
next week. All the schools had been
supplied with teachers but three OF
them dropped out at the last minute
and only two have been found to take
their places. 1t has taken active and
persistent work on the part Of the sup
erintendent to secure enough teachers
for all of the schools even though the
wages offered are higher than ever be-
fore. There has never been an oppor-
tunity so inviting for young people to
take up the work OF teaching in this
state as there is at the present time.
But they must make thorough prepar-
alton II they are not willing spend
some time and money in getting the
proper training they would better
take up some other work and not
attempt to teach.
