Among tho latter are a number who will enter the profession of matrimony Considering past experiences in dealing with teachers who had made application elsewhere, the board decided it would be good policy to eliminate these from the rolls, as there are many cases where. such teachers are re-elected but in the meantime have received more attractive calls out of town, and thus compelled flic board to make further negotiations with candidates. By this move seme of the' most capable instructors of the schools mo dropped t of esasidera tioirt . --'. A large number of applications were in the hands of the board, and. out of these a list of 14 new teachers was se lected.
