TEACHERS ARE NOW
BEING NOMINATED
FOR NEXT SESSION
DR.. Rhodes and Committee
Studying
List.

Teachers in the San Antonio public
school system are never dismissed but
this does not mean that they can hold
their positions If they are not prop
erly performing their duties, accord
ing TO DR.. Jeremiah Rhodes. superin.
tendent of schools. who is now study.
ing the present list of teachers for the
purpose of making recommendations
for reflections next year. II teach
er's service is not satisfactory he is
not dismissed-he is merely not re-
elected.
Since teachers are elected for a
period of but one year. DIR. Rhodes
and the teachers committee of the
San Antonio school board are again
faced with the tedious annual task OF
nominating 200 Or 500 teachers for
reelection or election for next year
The school board usually adopts with
out question. the recommendation oi
the committee and DR.. Rhodes.
Only in the most fragrant cases OF
inefficiency does teacher fail of re.
election il be submits an application.
DR.. Rhodes said. AS n rule. teachers
for whom there is not chance of re-
election. are advised beforehand not
to submit an application. although
they can do as they sect fit. As n
rule. however. there are but a very
small percentage of teachers whose
services arc not satisfactory.
4 large number of teachers fail TO
apply for reelection each year be-
cause Of other reasons. Many obtain
positions elsewhere more satisfactory
TO them. and others resign because Of
their desire to enter some other field
of work.
As a consequence Of these vacancies.
the San Antonio public school system
is able 10 draft new material each
year Elections. however. compared
with the number of reflections, are
comparatively few.
Teachers for the coming year will
probably be selected at the last meet
ing of the school board during the
cominr month
