REJECT TEACHERS BIDS:
RETAIN PRESENT STAFF

Cromwell-The big fuss all seems
to have ended in nothing, and Crom-
wells consolidated school will have
the same staff of teachers next year.
The school board, after deciding less
efficient instructions would be cheap
er, advertised that the teaching pos
itions would be filled by those putting
in the lowest bids for salary. Fifteen
hundred applications were received,
but the adverse publicity received
when the story of the action was
printed in 200 Minnesota newspapers
caused the school board to change its
mind. So Cromwell will continue an
other year with its present staff.
