line.

school, No. 50, has been retained
to teuch that school another year.

: ton. 1t is also a very wise action
If on the part Of the board, as a faith
full teacher is worth more the sec
ond year than the first year, those
II who hire early will have the pick,
those who hire late will have what
,e is left.
