unanimous response to his call, and
all seemed interested in the work for
the year as outlined by Supt. Edwards.
The suggestion regarding increases IN
salary from the County Board also
struck favorable chord.

exercises, visiting of the patrons by
the teachers previous to their work IN

will not favor any teacher who has not
taken such course.
