Tlaese were in etharge of 33 male and 90 female teachers, a deorease of lour Male teacbers. In 1904, 41 school 'departments changed teaohere ,itt 1905 there iwere 51 changes. When there were more teachers than schools, sehool boatds took full advantage of the commercial law of supply and demand, and as a ooh - sequence salaries became lower and lower ye,ar after year...During the last three yeari teachers have a- vailed themselves of the scarcity of teachers and haste not hesitated to _resign the sehools when a higher salary could be obtained elsewhere. Whatever censure is dae in the ease of teachers is equally applica- ble to beards of truetees.
