TEACHERS MOST FILE LICENSES j FOR INSPECTION Applications of Teachers Must Be Approved By County Superintendent TRUSTEES MEET SOON 1 Teachers Must Attend Institute Held During Latter Part of August Former teachers in rural, schools of Adams county and those who desire teaching positions this year have been notified that they must file their licenses with tits county superintendent of schools for inspection before they can be employed. There is not the slightest chance that there will be a shortage of teach ers this year, owing to the fact that many teachers have been granted licenses during the past year. For a number of years the teachers were employed by the township trustees. The trustees were then often content with the statements made by the teachers and no further investigation as to the qualification of the teacher was made in a number of instances. School officials say that as a result the trustees often employed incompetent teachers and the schools would not meet the required standards. E. S. Christen, county superintendent of schools, has notified the township trustees of the requirement for the employment of teachers. The rule is said to apply to the employment of city teachers also. The city applicants are said to he required to file their certificates with the county superintendent and the school board and city school superintendent must secure the teachers qualification rating from the county superintendent before signing contracts. All of the trustees are to meet here on July 13 to meet with S. Leßoy Scoles, assistant state high school in spector, to hear reports on the selecting of teachers and also on the clas sitication of rural buildings. At that time they will be asked to complete their contracts with the teachers just as soon as the qualifies tions have been gone over and ap proved. All teachers employed must attend the county institute the last of August.
