Several changes in the personnel of
the teaching force in the Incorporated
school district have been made for the
coming school year, some of the teach
ers IN both the graded schools and the
high school having secured positions
elsewhere, either at Il larger salary or
nearer some large city. With one ex-
ception teachers have been engaged to
| fill the vacancies, and continuance of
the high standard of work done in the
| past is assured

The school board has decided to give
up for this year the idea of having a
teacher-training course. An effort was
made to secure 10 persons to take the
| course. which would have insured the
payment of the teacher 5 salary by the
state. but only about half that number
were found who would enroll them
| selves. Moreover to establish the
y, course would mean that two or three
of those now in the course at Leland
and Gray seminary in TOwnshend
would withdraw and come to BrattIc-
| boro. which nigh mean the breaking
up of the course there. The situation
was gone over thoroughly by the pru-
5 Dental committee in conference with
the superintendent in Townshend and
DR.. II. d. Holton of this town. repre-.
sentIng the seminary trustees. and il
was decided to drop the matter for this
year.
