WANTS ALL STAFFORD
SCHOOLS OPENED

Potomac View, Va, Nov. 10, 1909.
To The Free Lance:
feel it my duty to say something in
reference to school matters. | see
through your paper that the principals
of our public schools are advertising for
firstclass teachers with firstclass GER
tifcates. Let it be understood in the
first place that scholars of this grade
can make big money at something else,
hence teachers of this kind are hard to
get. Would il not be well to apply for an
emergency certificate, so if we cant get
a firstclass teacher then get a second
class teacher or third class teacher,
someone that will teach the children
how to read and write, if nothing else!
1t is a shame to COMPEL people TO pay
school tax and the school house rot
down and the children growing up in
ignorance. Good people, what are we
thinking about? The responsibility of
all this comes right TO our door.
