i've, and by substituting for

County Superintendent Ex-
plains Salaries and Sorl-
age Of Teachers.

L ldke Iiiio IucthUu Va CAptoiu-
ing to the public why there is a
shortage of teachers In Jackson
county. Also, why the salaries
of teachers are not more.
1t is all for the want of more
school money.
The law is very specific in say.
ing, that all counties that have
less than lao days school, whose
school tax is from forty cents to
sixty cents on one hundred doll
ars of property, must continue
continue three days longer than
the proceeding year, if they re-
ceive any of the state equaliza!
ton fund. 1t is my duty as
county supintendent to inform
the County Board of Education
as the financial condition of the
county as to the school money
would be a poor official, not awor-
thy of the position, If | did not.
Knowing the amount of money
they have to spend for teaching,
the numbers of teachers employ.
ed, and that the schools must
continue three days longer than
did last year. the board is ableto
ascertain the salaries they can
pay. The board has increased
the salaries from fifteen til twens'
ty per cent this year. They have
done the best they can with the
money they have to use for teach
ing,
have been to the Peabody
College at Nahsville. where there
was from 800 to 1000 teachers.
and to the Polytechnic school at
Cookeville, where there were
from 100 to $50 teachers twice in
July looking for teachers. When
talking to teachers. they would
ask from SIS to 500 per month'
and demand an eight or nine
months term. | soon learned /
could not employ such teachers,
as our school money is limited
and our school term too short.
realized two or three months
ago a teachers famine was com.
ing. but do all could there was
nothing to pervent it. 1t is not
only so in this county and state,
but everywhere it seems.
We are in need of 18 to 20
teachers. Some of the schools
will not be taught perhaps till
after Christmas for want of
teachers.
Inject some men who say.
''you should pay the teachers
more" If their tax was increas-
ed to get more school money.
they would sleep but little and
be the first to complain and would
keep complaining.
Some teachers in this county,
as in all other counties. are gett-
ing more than they are worth in
the school room.
am constantly receiving ap-
plication from some who have
no certificates. The state super.
intendent is the only one that
can issue certificates. and he has
to be governed by the law.
Respectfully,

asked Jack, my newsbOy, to hurry up
and make out a subscription, as he

There is one thing that some of
you people did that was not fair,
and that was to line up in front OF
the door leading to the meat market
and ask everybody that came in. That
is not giving me fighting chance

$NEvvz AND NOTES OF THE BOY S10UTS$


Troop II of Penbrook, Pa. took
a hike to Happy Hollow" U sup
pose YOU all know where that isl
Monday evening. Dec. l. 1919, We
started from the school building, at
Penbrook, at about 1926 p. NJ. We
took a short cut through Bellevue
Park TO 18th street. From there on
we followed the 18th and Steelton
Car line until we arrived at our des-
tination.
Each scout then set out to find
some suitable material with which
to make fire. 1t wasn't long then
until we had three good sized fires
and then we all started to cook the
eats"
There were all kinds of good
things brought along. Some had
"doggies." others beans and-well
it don't matter what the names of
the things were, they were all very
good and tasted fine to us.
While we were eating we talked
and had a regular good time.
After we were through eating we
packed up" and started for home,
We arrived home at about 1880
Il. NJ, and l am sure that every
Scout that was along enjoyed the
hike very much and are ready for
another.
