 The school committee is having considerable difficulty in securing teachers for the rural district schools. Teachers for the 10 rural district schools were appointed two weeks age and as yet but three have accepted. The slaary paid the rural school teachers in Monson is $4OO, and it is believed that an addition to this amount will be necessary in order tc secure competent teachers who will remain more than one or two years. The inability to secure convenient boarding places is another reason why school teachers do not hold their DO sitions long. Those who have &C., cepted rural schools are: Elizabeth s.
