The continued designations of pub
lie school teachers have caused no
bit of alarm among members of the
board of education at Racine. 1t is

to close some of the school rooms. |
The reason for the designations is the !
offers of positions in other cities at
far higher salaries. At this time of
the school year it is difficult to obtain
teachers to fill vacancies.
