TEACHERS AGE LIMIT
HAS BEEN REDUCED

County Supt. G. w. Crowell has
received a let or IT. S.s.e Supt.
NJ. P. sh1wkey to the effect that the
age limit of candidates to become
teachers has been reduced from IS
10 II, but these latter candidates
must be IL by the first of September.
Consequently it can be imagined that
the number Of those attending the
coming uniform teachers examination
will be somewhat larger than last
year. Although these 17-year-old
candidates will only be given emer-
gency teachers certificates there is
every reason to believe that they
easily secure schools owing to the
great shortage in regular teachers.
