Alton Thompson during the educational program nt tho Ilend Commercial club Wednesday noon. Uccausc of thu recent law enacted In Oregon which after 192G will requlro all teachers to havo two years' work above tho high school, rural schools will bo at a handicap In securing teachers, said Thompson. To over come tho handicap In this section, tho locnl high school, or soma high school In tho county, should start now to plan tho addition of two years' work in education, admitting only students with tho ability to be co mo successful teachers. Tho or ganization of such a graduate school would aid In bringing a normal school hero when, probably in tho near future, a second normal be comes necessary In Oregon, Thomp son said.
