MALES GROWING SCARCE.

A careful study of the teachers in Lake county proves that men, like the Buffalo, will become extinct in a few more decades. Lake county employs about 265 teachers, and hardly more than twenty-five, including superintendents, are males. Eagle Oreek and Winfield have none, Center has one, and in the balance of the townships they are few and far between. Some years teachers are scarce, but this year, on account of closing several schools, there is an overplus. Usually from 15 to 30 marry, or atop teaching eaoh year, but th*is season the supply is greater than the demand, and Lake county can furnish some instructors for other territories.— Lake County Star.
