We have now made up new list of
teachers that we hope will return to
the teaching field during this emer-
gency. If our list is not complete,
it is because we lack information.
We hope to fill all existing vacancies
before September l. Our May l list

According to present information
and facts available, our force of men
teachers in our rural field will have
been reduced to only two or three
next year. A few years ago we had
a dozen men teachers. This year we
still have seven.
All teachers and candidates (and
school boards) should keep us in
