best known methods on the art Of
flying. The little fellows were

those parents set up a disguised
protest at such persisted careless
ness and at once they began a SER

from tree to line and from line to
fence. Wasn't it perfectly easy?
% course IL was. And now let,n
naye no more nonsense about it!
The wee robins tried a number
OF times though they seemed little
concerned about learning all in one
afternoon. At the conclusion Of the
the lesson they were given a section
OF delicious worm apiece as reward
for efforts Indifferent or otherwise.
And Just as they all started toward

SCHOOLS ADDED TO
THOSE RECEIVING AID

While majority of the village
schools of the county are now receiv-
ing state aid and are called state
graded schools" some new ones will
be added with the opening of the
school season in the county. The new
school, No. 2, in the town of Guenther
will be state graded school and will
care for some children from Portage
county, who are paying tuition. These
children last year had no school to at
tend because the district school they
had previously attended was over
crowded. The schools of the village
of Schofield, last year classed as rural
schools, because Of the crowded en-
rollment which meant having more
than forty-five in room, will this
year be in the state graded school
list. The schools of Schofeld we're
nevertheless inspected as state grad
ed institutions last year.

ACUTE SHORTAGE
OF TEACHERS
ISUPT. GIESSEL WILL ISSUE
SPECIAL CERTIFICATES
FOR YEAR

The tremendous shortage of teach
ers, experienced last year in the coun-
", will again be the case in 1921
1922, and at the present time there
are a number of school districts that
are entirely without them.
j. E. Giessel, county ssuperintend-
ent, expects shortly to issue special
certificates to many applicants, who
although they have not the necessary
qualifications for permanent certif-
Gates, can satisfactorily fill the places
that are vacant.
Not So Serious
This is not quite as serious a mat
ter as some people make it," Mr..
Giessel told the editor of The Pilot,
for many of those who ask for spe-
cial teaching certificates have had two
and even three years of training be-
yond the high school Some of them
have attended Normal schools one or
two terms and others the University
of Wisconsin for two or three years.
Although they have not certain uuali-
ncatlons that are required, they make
equally as good teachers as those who
have just had enough training beyond

being thoroughly acquainted with
rural school problems"
Small Glasses
The matter of salary has not been
the cause of the shortage of rural
school teachers. 1t is credited main
ly to the war, during which large en-
rollments in Training and Normal
schools were discouraged. AS a con-
sequence graduating classes from
these institutions have been average
ly smaller than usual and so the de-
mand has been far in excess of the
supply. Last year there were some
$4,000 rural schools in the United
States which could not be operated
because no teachers were available.
II more teachers are not found, 1t is
likely that some Marathon county
schools will be closed Mr. Giessel,
however, has not received reports
from many school clerks and is not
informed of the exact number of rural
schools which have not been able to
obtain teachers.

q. n. S.)-Mrs. H. NJ. Farrell, sixty

$3.50 for forty-nine years. Then she
came to this city from her home in
Pittsburgh to paw the bill contracted
when she was a young girl attending
school here with the frs of George NJ.
John & Co. She had an account with
the store and left the city owing $1.5O,
which debt, she said, she could not
dismiss from her mind. Mr. John
head of the firm, is still living, though
no longer actively connected with the
store. She hunted him up at his home
and paid the bill
