DIFFICULT TO
GET TEACHERS
Many Women Are Filling Places Left
by Men Called to War-Wages
Paid Are Not High Enough.
Complete List Of Teachers in Various
Townships Prepared by Superin-
tendent Olry for the Review.

Crawford county people who are
familiar with the wages paid rural
teachers in this county can readily
understand why it is difficult matter
for the county superintendent to Sc
cure teachers for all Of the schools
in the county. In some of the town
ships the wages are enough to insure
good teachers, but in most instances
the wages are so small that it is diff
cult to secure any one.
With so many of our young men be.
ing called into the army, women are
filling their places as clerks and ste
nographers in business houses. being
attracted by the high wages offered
for competent help. Many of the
school teachers have given up teach.
ing to take positions in town and of
course it makes it all the harder to
secure enough teachers for the rural
schools. The only way this condition
can be overcome is to offer teachers a
salary high enough so they cannot
afford to give up teaching.
