To The Teachers.

1t is my intention to inform
the teachers of notices and plans
through the columns of our county
paper, and | would like to urge
that every teacher become a
subscriber of the Licking Valley
Courier, not that | am an agent
or interested in any way, other
than that l believe we can, by
cooperation, make the paper a
helper to our schools.
Each week | will write an arti-
Gle to the teachers, and if any are
not subscribers they will fail to
keep in touch with other schools,
as these articles may be a history
or description of the schools | vis-
it, | will be in my Office on Mon
days and Saturdays and those
who have business to attend to
will find me in on these days.
The remaining days of the week
| will be visiting schools.
