teachers that have been employed,
with two exceptions the town
schools, and the rural schools on the
border line of the county. Superin-
tendent Akers says, that in the case
of the border rural schools where the
teacher was not named, the teacher
is procured from the other county,
not st. Francois, and in some instanc-
es he did not know the name of the
teacher. But so far rs he is inform
ed at the present all positions in the
e~unty. both rural and town schools,
are filled. Since the appearance of
the article of last week he has had
number of inquiries concerning
supposed vacancies, and this article
is inserted to offset the misunder-
standing created.
