TEACHERS GONE
Got Married Last Week"
, Usual Excuse-Low Pay and
Call Of Homes Others.

Whether II was Cupids wiles or
the urgsto get back home officials
Of the Board OF Education do not
know. At any rate, they are CON
fronted with the problem OF filling
the positions Of about 100 public
school teachers who sent in letters
OF resignation during the summer
months.
Assistant Superintendent Kramer,
whose job, among other things. Is
to take care OF the personnel OF
the schools, said today the number
of school teachers who resigned
during the holidays is not excep'
tional.
I'VE look forward to getting Jet
ters of resignation from about 100
teachers every summer" Mr..
Kramer said. And we don't. as a
rule, have much trouble in filling
their places. There Is always a
lengthy waiting list OF eligibles
ready to be appointed to succeed
the resigning teachers"

Is the tenor OF many letters which
come to Mr.. Kramer's desk. .-
But Cupid is not always re,

Sometimes teachers who haye
come to the Nations Capital from

among their own folks. So they
pack up their 9duds and depart dur

their regrets by post g. -" +

But do not such teachers, as a
rule. leave Washington and q fairly

remuneration" Mr.. Kramer was
asked. .
"oh. yes" was the reply. But
you can't blame 'em for wanting
