" Reports from the various commissioners tbruout northern Michigan
show a scarcity of teachers, and In order to supply the schools permits have

of some school officers tbe very best
teachers are being driven from the
rank3. Young America was neyer

are raised, thus giving the young people of our land some encouragement
to take courses that will fit them for
the teaching profession.

besides baking enough work In the
high scbool bo finish tbe course wibh
bhe class of 1000, his sbandings from
the Clare school having been accepted.
Helon then expects to take the University law course and oan enter that
insblbubion wibhout taking the entrance exbaminabion as the Lansing
schools are on tbe accepbed lisb.
Helon makes the change, not because
he is nob well pleased wibh the Clare
school, bub because ifc will save him
perhaps a year preparatory work as
our school is nob on the U. of M list.
