OILING SHOES AND HARNESS

When leather becomes dry olllng

Leather Laboratory. Meats Foot oil
issone of the best for harness and is
good for shoes, but interferes with the
polish. Castor oil can be used on
shoes that are to be polished. The
oil will penetrate the leather better

SHORTAGE OF RURAL TEACHERS
More Than 100 Cehools in Iowa Closed
For Want Of Instructors

More Than 100 cchooIs in Iowa Closed
For Want Of instructors
Des MONIES, Dec. 13.-More than 100
rural schools Of Iowa have been fore
ed to close due to shortage Of teach
ers. according to Frank D. Joseph de-
putty state superintendent OF public
instruction.
Tho shortage of teachers is laid to
various causes by Mr.. Joseph, not the
least of which Is the selective draft
law, which has taken many male in
StructorS.
Many women teachers have returned
to their homes, too, to take up some
of the. work left by brothers called TO
the national army or have entered
other OCCUPATIONS in positions made va
cant by national army men and which.
they believe, afford greater opportunity.
Henry. Ida and Grundy counties arc
the hardest hit by the shortage of ped
agogues, according to MIR. Joseph, who
said that in Harry county alone If
teen schools had not been able to open
for the winter term.
To relieve the shortage to some ex-
tent the state department Of public in
struction has temporarily suspended
the state law requiring teachers to have
certificates Of attendance Of a twelve
weeks normal training course. The
department is empowered with the
right OF suspending this rule only In
cases OF emergencies.
Teachers for positions have been re-
cruited from all possible sources. The
Iowa State Teachers College has re-
leased every possible teacher enrolled
In the teaAhins department.
It was reported by the registrars o.
the three institutions In session here
last week that they knew OF no Sec
ondary schools which had been closed
because of teacher shortage, but they
said that there were many schools
which. were continuing with the facul-
ties badly crippled.
Mr.. Joseph said that Highland Park
College would release between eigh,
and ten girls during the coming week
to enter rural schools as teachers.
There are now $500 students in high
schools who will be available in the
spring fer entrance as teachers.
Due tosthe shortage many Of the rur-
al school boards haye greatly increased
the salaries OF their teachers.
