The shortage Of teachers will become
more apparent the longer the war con-
tindes and it will affect the city and
town schools as we'll.
The reason for the shortage Of the
teachers is very apparent. Young men
have given up their positions to go to
war, others will leave in the future,
and they will leave vacancies to fill.
The women are filling the vacancies
made by the young men. The shortage
of help has brought about higher sal
aries until now young ladies can re-
ceive more as clerks and Office help
than they can command as school
teachers and are assured positions for
twelve months in the year. Many of
tie teachers have already given up
their schools to take positions in town
where they receive higher salaries.
1t will become necessary for the
school directors to increase the wages
OF their teachers if they expect to
keep the schools open. They will have
to compete with the cities and towns
and offer wages high enough to attract
teachers. Supt. Olry tells US that
some of the directors in this county
have already met the new conditions.
The directors of Hayes township about
September !, raised the wages to meet
the new conditions. They pay for first
grade certificates. $1,000, for second
grade, $4,000 for third grade, $500,
and for PROFESSIONALS, $4,000 Since then
other townships have raised the wages.
Jackson township pays $500 per month
more than allowed by the minimum
