Teacher Shortage One
Of The Problems Of
Board OF Education

The Schools of Cecil County re-
opened on Wednesday morning of
tLis week, following the summer va
cation
| One of the problems that is facing
our County Board of Education is
shortage of teachers 1t is reported
there is need of five additional teach
ers, not counting those Industrial
Arts, Music and Home Economics in
| structors who are not available, caus-
ing these courses to be abandoned in
some instances.
A full enrolment of pupils in the
Elementary schools is reported, but
High School enrolment is not COM
plete, as a number of these pupils
are assisting with farm work, and in
the canneries, as well as filling emer-
gency war jobs, and will not enter
school until later.
On Monday, September IL, the
Cecil County teachers met in the Elk
ton High School for the purpose of
mapping a program for the 194445
scholastic year.

Tuesday, September IL, was set
aside by Supt. Mcbride as ''prepara-
ton day. for tie teachers. All teach
ers were expected to be in their

Supt. Mcbride has called attention
to the fact that beginners must be
six years of age on or before mid
night December 81, 1914. By law, he
points out. no child may be permitted
to enter grade unless he has been
successfully vaccinatel, and parents
must bring or send to the school vac
cination certificates for each pupil
new to Cecil County education.
School officials have further point
ed out that, in view of the epidemics
throughout various parts of the coun-
try, parents are urged to take pre-
cautions with the health of their
children. Periodical check-ups with
the family doctor have been urged.
Avoidance of crowds has also been
stressed. School officials and health
authorities in some of the polio
stricken areas have reiterated that
pupils will be under the close super
vision of teachers in matters regard
ing health, and that pupils are not
to be kept home simply from fear of
contagion.
