H. F. Turner was in Boston Thurs day to secure the services Of teach CTS to fill the vacancies which have occurred during the, last school year. The school board now begins to real ize that the problem of securing teach CTS is very serious. There are vacan- cies for 100 teachers, throughout the state of Connecticut. This demand must be met before the opening of school on September 8. The reason for this shortage is that at this time the teachers realize that they are under paid in school work and are taking up opportunities along clerical work and nursing for the government
 Other supervisors in the state are having much trouble in securing teachers and Danielson considers it. self indeed fortunate to have such a capable and reliable faculty with so few vacancies.
