4 TEACHERS ARE SCARCE, COUNTY REPORT SAYS iT\ E. Shanibaugh Plans Com munity Surveys; Extension Courses Are Planned The annual report of F. E. Shani baugh, county superintendent of schools, has been submitted to Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer, State Superin tendent of Public Instruction. Pro lessor Shanibaugh gives a brief re view of the many activities in all county district schools under his su pervision, and outlines his plans for ihe present year. One of the chief problems during the last year the official reports, has been the difficulty In obtaining prop erly trained teachers, largely due to ihe need of higher salaries, and in ability of teachers in rural districts I to find a place to reside. In the 128 rural schools last year there were eighty-seven new teach ers, while ninety schools do not have ihe same teachers this year as last. Attention was called in the report to the improvements made at the buildings In East Hanover township, AVlconisco township, Lykens and Wil liamstown. An extension course In rural so ciology and economics is planned this year for the rural teachers. Superin tendent Shanibaugh states, and in connection with this teachers will take community surveys. It is plan ned also to obtain a motion picture machine to bo used at the commun ity meetings which will be held dur ing the year. Conscientious Objectors Held at Camp Meade Camp Meade, Md., Oct. 3.
