TO TEACHERS

Most teachers work four to- nine
months of the year and then during
vacation spend their small savings for
nome expenses and in attending sum-
mer normals or hunting other positions.
The salary stops; the expense contin-
ues. The teachers work is the hard
est; it is the least appreciated il
affords no home, and the uncertainty
and short sessions prevent saving or
investing. Moreover, salaries are
cheapening as normals increase A
vacation spent with us will enable you,
fellow teacher, to earn good salary
every moRth. to save up something tor
old age, TO invest, to have a home
Isn't that worth an effort worth few
weeks spent with us? You are already
prepared in the literary branches; we
can soon fiji you in the others and en-
able you to earn two dollars where you
now earn one.
