Twelve teachers are mex perienced, not having taught in any school before, and thirteen of the teachers of the county are from oth- CT parts of the state.
 Out of the total number of schools Nin the county only six have satisfac- tory drinking fountains.

In many cases the wa ter is at the foot of a slope down which all the waste from the school yard is washed. In very few schools is there found anything in the way of modern seating of lighting sys- tems, and the play grounds, of the surrounding woods about the building could be called such are unsightly and unattraetive.

LEGION'S DEBTS ARE REDUCED
Claims Against Organization Have
Been Lowered $4,000 Per Month,
Treasurer Announces.

The reduction of the Indebtedness of
the American Legion from S343.64S to
$197,214 in five months, or at the rate
of approximately $4,000 a month, has
been announced by Robert III. Tyndall.
national treasurer, at indianapolis. His
statement covers the Indebtedness up
to June 30.
The high mark of $343,64S was
reached on January 81, and since then
there has been steady reduction of
the deficit. In a previous announce
ment Mr.. Tyndall declared that the Le-
gion's old Indebtedness of $257 900,
borrowed last summer for preliminary
organization work, had been paid in
full.
The treasurer's books show that the
Indebtedness of $197,214 outstanding
on June 30 is offset easily threefold by
the assets of the American Legion.
The deficits at the end of the first six
months of the year are shown in the
following table:
January 81. S343,64S.13; February
20. $294 1S3.SS; March 81, $256,963.61 !;

TO WAR AGAINST SWlNDLERS
National Organization Takes Steps to
Swing Full Force to Stamp
Out Practice.

National and departmental officers
of the American Legion have recently
brought to light several instances in
which INSCRIPTIONS swlndlers have
successfully capitalized the grief of the
next of kin of Americans who lost their
lives in the world war, and the organi-
zatlon's national headquarters has
taken steps to swing the full force of
the more than 1900 Legion posts be-
hind movement to stamp out the
practice.
The mother of Il dead soldier whose
grave had never been located recently
was told by one of these parasites that
he would visit Washington. If she paid
his expenses. and find out at first-hand
what could be done. Later, the impos-
tor reported success and advised the
bereaved family that the body would
be sent home. A brother became sus-
picious and by personal call at the
war department learned that no in
auiry ever had been made.
Another woman whose son had not
been heard from since he was reported
wounded while fighting in the Ar

her sons name, asking her to send him
money. She made n trip to Cleveland,
o.. only to find that the letter was
hoax. Later, she received telegram
signed with her sons name and noti-
fed the police in the town from which
the message had been sent. The man
who had attempted to defraud her was
arrested.
At the instigation of the Legion, po-
lice of a California city are on the
trail of man said to have made n
practice of corresponding with the next
of kin of deceased soldiers with view
TO defraudlng them. He wrote let
ter purporting to give tirst-hand infor-
nation concerning the death of one OF
these missing soldiers, whereas inves-
tigation showed that the writer of the
letter had never been outside the UNI
ted States during the war.
Lemuel Bolles, Legion national adJu-
tant has urged all posts and depart
mpnts to assist in warning relatives or
missing heroes against paying any
money for information or service OF
this nature, ms both the Legion and the
war department are willing to provide
all available authentic Information at
