have kept this matter before the
City School Board constantly for the
past year, and | now feel that my
duty toward the children Of the
community demands that ! bring
the matter sharply to the attention
of the people of the town and par
ents of these children.
During the past year we have had
teachers to tramp the streets look
ing for place to eat and sleep,
AS consequence, we are losing
some of our best teachers, whom NO
assured increase of salary could
hold. Fifty per cent of our teachers
have resigned for one reason or a,
mother, but mainly for the reason
indicated above. The probability is
that the school that changes teach
ers this year will fill the vacancies
with others not so well equipped
from the standpoint of training and
experience.
The demand for teachers far ex
ceeds the supply. 100000 of the best
teachers in the United States quit
the profession during the past year
and more are leaving the profession
each year than are being added tc
it.

LACK OF TEACHERS
COMES TO End SOON

At the last examination for teach
ers in Kentucky, there were more
than 500 applicants and it is believed
there will be sufficient certificates is
sued to assure the full quota of teach
ers for the state. County and state
officials are of the opinion that the
entire shortage viii he made up with
in q short time, since the grade pa
pers are being prepared and will be
returned within a short time, and
there will be announcement of the
successful applicants soon.
In So counties teachers have been
appointed for all of the schools, in %
counties there is surplus of 1875
teachers and in e3 counties there is
shortage of 200 teachers. The de-
partment of education will act as a
clearing house" for teachers by sup
plying counties where shortages ex-
ist 4.
The imperative need at present is
more school buildings, as the reported
attendance this year will average 90
per cent, as compared to 81 per cent
last year. Much if this increased at
tendance is due to the legislation that
provided for an attendance officer in
each county and to the compulsory
attendance law that compels all chill
dren between the ages of seven and
sixteen, who are physically and men
tally fit, to attend each day of the en-
tire term.
Another force that has helped to
increase the attendance is the in
creased zeal of teachers because of
The increase in salary.

Saturday morning at 10 o'clock the

evenly about edge of patch. Turn to

trim neatly around the ragged portion;

Thus one avoids tho bulky ridges

stitching is worked In the same fash

Hat No. has large flowers worked
around the crown. In the lower right
corner is a full-size pattern showing
the center OF the flower composed of
fat French knots or beads, and the
petals formed by large single stitches.
Hat No. 2 has single stitches on the
center of the crown and cross stitches
on tho edge OF the brlm- Hat No.
has a band OF ribbon fastened In place
with single and cross stitches. Tne
full-size design is shown in the center
at the bottom. The pattern at the
lower left may be used In the same
manner.
Hat No. 4 has turned-up brim COW
cred with small daisies worked in dif-
ferent colors. The centers OF the now-
era are beads. and the petals are made
with iazy-daisy stitch.
The hat In the center is trimmed
with one OF the latest novelties-a
crocheted rose. An enlarged drawing

Directions.
When embroidering with rafla.

ornament is large and the hat is of
rough straw. embroider the design on
heavy buckram. cut II out around the
edge and stitch II in place on the hat.

variety used for Swedish weaving.

Size No. Is or 20 will do nicely for
raffa embroidery.
The Apple Design.
II is almost impossible to transfer
designs with carbon paper on any but
smooth hats. II the hat is of rough
material, baste the paper design on
the hat and go around all the outlines
with a needle and thread and make
small basting or running stitches in a
contrasting color.
Tear away the paper and only the
outline will be visible. Fill this in
with long stitches, following the direc-
ton OF the lines in the large pattern.
On the original hat the lower part
OF the apple was worked In dull blue
raffia, and the upper part also the
leaves and stems were in natural color

from the leaves were In purple and
