LONDON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
TO REOPEN SEPTEMBER 5
Many Changes In Faculty
OF London Public Schools


The faculty of the LONDON Fub-
lie Schools for the coming year
will have greater change in per-
sonnel than has occurred in any
previous school year. This change
has been brought about because OF
death, illness in the family, re-
tirement or leave of absence to
members of last years faculty, ac-
cording to Supt.. j. j. Hartley.
Miss Anne Dickerson, at her
ewn request, will replace Miss
Harriet Eyler, who retired last
May, as a second grade teacher
For the past two years Miss
Dickerson taught history in the
high school and where her work
was regarded very satisfactory,
Prior to her affiliation with the
London Public Schools, Miss Dick
erson had been in elementary edu-
cation. During the teacher short
age, because of Miss Dickerson's
dual certification that enabled her
to qualify for either an elemen-
tary or high school position, she
was assigned to the high school
staff. AT the time, however, it
was understood that if a vacancy
occurred in the primary grades
Miss Dickerson would have the
first refusal. When the opportun-
ity arrived for Miss Dickerson to
make a choice it was difficult for
her to decide. She had enjoyed her
work in the high school and she
had become very fond of the high
school students and faculty MEM
bers. Her final decision was to re-
turn to elementary teaching.
Mrs. William Buss, OF New
Bremen, Ohio has been hired to
teach History and English as a
replacement for Miss Dickerson,
Mrs. Buss graduated last June
from Miami University. While in
college she majored in History
