Three hundred rural districts in

with little prospect of securing pro-
fessionally trained teachers for the
forthcoming school term unless

to ]. A. Churchill, state superin-

Linn 20 and Lincoln 20.
In counties which are offerine
better salaries no shortage Is ex-
perienced, Churchill explains. una
