Sincerely,
Who wants this teacher? She has
had five years experience and holds
first grade elementary certificate
We have received no less than twenty
five similar letters in the past two
months. We could not guarantee
that we could place them at the salry
they asked. If school boards will give
US the authority to hire teachers re-
gardless Of SALARY restrictions we
can get teachers.
The North Dakota Federation of
Women's Clubs is making campaign
for more kindergartens. The law of
this state requires school boards to
maintain a kindergarten in any dist
rict where the majority of the patrons
sign petition for such school. Child
psychologists claim that tn most
foramtive period of child's life is be-
tween the ages of four and eight so
the establishment of a kindergarten is
something every parent should be in
terested in. Children between the
ages of four and six may attend.
Somebody get interested. It is urged
that some women's club gst busy
and circulate petitions. Y ou may
be assured that this Office will assist
in every way possible.

We have done our best to establish
Americanization schools the past year
and have HAD little results. You
'anct make no-English speaking peo-
rle go to school if they don't want
to. What we need is compulsory at
tendance at such schools.
With the purchasing power Of a dol
lar reduced one-half in the last six
years, salaries in the teaching pro-
fesion have become critical.
