1t is not an uncommon thing for
country school boards to hire their
teachers early. This is another mark
OF progress in rural education. There
was time when country school boards
would not think Of hiring their teach
ers until after the annual meeting in
July. In some Of the counties nearly
all the teachers are hired before the
annual meeting. one country school
teacher who did exceptionally good
work not only as teacher but as q
community leader was hired by the
board for the coming year as early as
February.
