TEACHERS ARE I VERYSCARCE UNWILLINGNESS TO WORK FOR ' STARVATION WAGES IS STUMBING BLOCK TO FILUNG VACANT FACULTY POSITIONS. For various reasons Cape May Qoanty has been fortunate during the past two years in maintaining its schools at full strength. A chief one of is that in most of our dis- I trict sueprvising officers have been on the alert to discover proper per- i sons to fill the vacancies and have i not permitted their opportunities to escape. This year, however, the- difficulty ' of obtaining proper teachers has reached its zenith. They are not available in such numbers as are re- . quired and cannot be persuaded ex- i cepting by the payment of such salaries as will permit them to live. Dis- ] tricts which refuse to recognize this fact do not and cannot obtain teachers Under similiar conditions they could not obtain doctors, lawyers, temsters, ■ br mechanics. Teachers who used to I be capable of living on nothing, large- ; ly because their families aided _n their support can do it no more and do not find it necessary because their services are in demand as never before We still have with us, however, districts in which the people have come to no -realization of this and are still lO HO VI WUO IMIU V'V .....

inclined to indulge in the old-fashion- P ed sport of baiting the teacher and t rendering her position impossible of , f endurance, incidently destroying the usefulness of the school from the * standpoint of the children, and yet to be obsessed with the idea that there ' are those willing to stand these de- I 1 actable cc\'itions for the pleasure 1 of living in such enlightened com- !' munities and with such amiable 1 1 people and at a price less than that | 1 paid by any other community 1 " 1 r " 1 ANNUAL FAIR "rtie total amouht taken in at the 1 fair of the Church of the Advent, ' held on the afternoon of August 14, at the Red Mill was 11221.00 Ex- | penses $90.00 making a total net amount of $1180.00 CHURCH OF THE ADVENT Rev.
