Crawford County Boys and Girls Have
Done Their Share in Helping
the Government
The schools of the county are gener-
ally in session. The flu trouble is not
as serious as early in the winter and
late fall.
Thirteen schools are closed because
of thes shortage of teachers.
We have held seven examinations
since June 1st, giving all who cared
to take a chance to get certificate.
Five teachers left our schools and
went to other counties because OF bet
ter wages.
In September the wages paid in
this county were better than the aver
age. Since then other counties have
raised the wages until ours do not look
so good so we are losing teachers.
The best wages paid in the county
are none too good according to the
prices teachers must pay for necessi-
ties.
Hayes township pays $50 for first
grade certificate, $40 for second grade,
$65 for third grade and $50 for pro-
visional. They are paying more for
provisional certificate than some are
paying for first grades. 1t looks now
as if the shortage will continue for a
year or more unless something is done
to attract more to take up the work OF
teaching. Good salaries are the only
solution of the problem.
Our state legislature is now in ses-
sion. We expect some new legislation
that will be a decided help in making
our schools better.
The. minimum wage law needs revis-
ion.
A teachers pension bill should be
passed.
A stricter compulsory attendance
law.
A stronger child labor law.
The consolidated law needs to be
amended so that it may be used.
The high school normal training aid
should be increased.
The aid to consolidated schools
should be increased. ,..,t.
Encouragement should be given to
bills aiding the teaching manual train
ing, domestic science and agriculture.
More state aid and provisions for
more supervision should be given by
law to aid our rural schools.
The county superintendent visited
the Denison, West Side and Vail
schools and found the work in general
way very satisfactory. The loss of
hxy Az, he,
work to be partly broken.
The boys and girls poultry club of
the West Side Consolidated schools
had an exhibition of 81 birds at the
poultry show in Woodbine. The man
ager compliments them very highly
on the showing they made at the
show.
Crawford county boys and girls have
done their part in helping our govern
ment in buying bonds and thrift
stamps and war saving certificates.
