no means Of determining their where

in the greater city spent their vaca-
tions in Europe, but ! presume the
number runs hiDn up IN the hun
dreds. Il generally does. School will
open September IA, but the Friday be-
fore the teachers are supposed 10 re-
port TO their schools 20 receive their
August pay. Usually they all report

vacancies caused by teachers being
stranded in Europe would be filled UNI
Ill the regular instructors returned.
More than a dozen school teachers
