FULL Quota OF
Qualified TEACHERS
FOR COUNTY SCHOOLS

There is no likelihood of the schools
of Ward County not opening on time
this year for lack of legally qualified
teachers. There will be enough OF
such teachers to fill all teaching posi-
lions Of the county, thus doing away
with the necessity of issuing permit
authority. 80,
The salaries of rural teachers will
be somewhat lower this year than
last. The lowest salary to be paid
beginning teachers will be $50 in
comparison with $50 for last year.
Teachers of experience will receive
from 500 to $115, a reduction of
from $40 to SIS per month.
The opening dates of the rural
schools vary from August 28th to
October End. A large percentage OF
these schools will doubtless begin
their fall terms on Sept. 18th. Many
new teachers are entering the teach
ing profession this year, due to the
large number of high school graduates
who have done the work required for
certification, and the greater number
completing the courses of our state
educational institutions. Many Of the
experienced teachers have taken ad-
vantage of the opportunities for ad-
vancement offered by the summer ses-
sions held in our normals. That much
interest was taken in these sessions
is evidenced by the large attendance
at the Minot Normal.
The city and village schools will
open on either Sept. 18th or 18th with
the possible exception Of Hartland and
Foxholm. These two places are to
have new -theminute school
buildings which may not be ready tor
occupancy until shortly after the other
schools have opened.
There is to be a number of changes
in the personnel Of teaching forces OF
the town schools this year, both in
the superintendent and principals
and in their assistants. Mlnot, Ken
mare, Donnybrook, Foxholm, Burling-
ton, Makoti and Des Laos will con-
tinue under the efficient leadership OF
superintendent l.. A. White, c. H.
Wright, A. w. Knies, Anna M.
Schwalier, M. L. Nelson, 0. M. Fraser
and Smith Taylor respectively. Car
Pic has engaged C. A. Runyan, man
new to this part of the state but who
comes to his new position well recon-
mended. Morris Webster, son Of the
former secretary of the Minot State
Normal, j. G. Webster, is to be the
head of the Surrey schools, succeed
ing Cuyler Anderson who forsook
teaching to take up farming. T. A:
Crawford, for five years at the head
of the Lone Tree schools is to be the
man in charge at Sawyer. At Bert
hold we find Supt. A. J. Spacht, who
so successfully guided the destiny OF
the Sawyer schools. Troy j. Wilson,
who left Douglas at the close of the
past school year to take up graduate
work at the University will have as
his successor, Mr.. Sylvan H. Miller, q
man we'll and favorably known in the
county thru his two years of success
