EXTRA TEACHERS NEEDED
FOR BIGGER ENROLLMENTS
List of Reserve High School In
structors Used Up-Win Hold
Examinations March "a.

For the first time in many months,
|, school officials are without a list con-
taining the names of persons eligible
for appointment as permanent teachers
in the high schools. The large force of
qualified teachers held in reserve to fill
vacancies as they occurred have been
given positions, and today officials made
preparations for holding an examination
March "a to create another list of per-
: sons qualifieds : for appointment as in
, structors. s<e,
This situation. officials point out is
unusual at this time of year. 1t is due
primarily to the great increase in en-
rollments in the high schools since Feb
ruary /, which called for the organ MIA
ton of additional classes and the subse-
Quent need of more teachers
School authorities expect that a num-
, Der of the teachers now holding tenn
porary positions IN the high schools will
take the examination in an effort TO
J qualify and thereby make them perna-
nent. These temporary teachers who
fail in the test, are confronted with the
loss OF their jobs at the close of the
present academic year in June. as it is
the intention of officials to replace them
. with exceptionally we'll qualified in
. structors. Plans also are being made
:. by school officials 10 hold an exaInina-
:. ton in April or May for persons seek
. ing teaching positions in the elemen-
tary schools. The list containing the
i names Of scachers eligible for appoint
!, ment in the graded schools. it is said,
is far from being depleted at this time.
