Superintendent E. E. Skeie
announced this week that the
teaching staff in the schools of
district 17-H is now nearly
complete, though because Of
the teacher shortage being even
more acute this year than last,
it has been necessary to in
crease teaching loads, consoli-
date grades and eliminate some
work.
The schools will open at 900
am. on Tuesday, Sept. T." MIR
Skeie stated, and will operate
on mountain war time until it
is changed by Congress. How

company their youngsters the
first day of school In order to
bring the information needed
in registration. It was also
pointed out that no exceptions
will be made to the rule that

old before Jan. !, 1916.
Because of the late date Of
the principals resignation, we
were unable to secure an ac-
ceptable candidate for the posi-
ton of high school principal at
ST. Xavier, and are therefore
compelled to request the st.
Xavier high school students to
commute to the Hardin high
school until such time as we
can secure a high school prin-
cipal", MIR. Skeie said.
The lunch program for the
schools will commence with the
opening of school in Crow Ag-
ency and Hardin, and Mrs. Eva
iLandon and Mrs. Roy Peterson
respectively, will be in charge of

school population Of the nation
was decreased by a million
during the years Of 1941, AZ and
