Dear DR.. Lennox:
No additional teachers have been
recently employed for work in the

there will be none employed for some
time to come.
The policy with regard to the hiring
Of teachers is in my hands. The
Board Of Education probably will
make no ruling on this matter with
out a recommendation from me.
School policies are not matters which
a be adequately discussed by means
of correspondence, as you seem 70
think, and may | just say that the
welfare of the boys and girls in the

or taxpayers, must be the prime mo-
tive in the formulation of all policies
and their administration in the pub
