.MAY NEED ' EXTRA TEACHERS •
With 'the enrolment.. of British war
guests in the public. •'arid secondary
schools of the province, it may 'be
found necessary in certain school sec-
tions to engage additional teachers
to aerie the needs Ithe new .comers.
The D,epartment•of Education is look-
ing forward to the time when there
may be•thousands of evacuees in the
province, and where extra teachers
are required the Ontario Government
is prepared' to pay one-half the cost
of such teachers' salaries, Hon. Dr..
McArthur, Minister of Education,
'says that in the smaller' Centres,. it
is quite probable ' that the visiting
children can be absorbed in the exist-
ing classrooms without the necessity
of einplol ing new teachers: In: the
-larger centres• it may be necessary
to open new classrooms.
