BLAME OFFICIAL WITH BIG THEFT Snyder County School Direc~ tors Lay Shortage of $2,500 to Former Secretary Simbiiry, Aug. 2 3.—Reasons why they think they should not be ousted from office "for gross negligence" have been filed with the Snyder county court by the surcharged Monroe township board of school directors. Their principal contention is that their former secretary, Ira J. Heiser, is the real culprit, and that the other mem bers of the board are being surcharged 55.296.24 because they trusted Heiser too far. In one item of $2,500, with which they are surcharged, the board of di rectors believe they have made out a clear case against Heiser that he de liberately appropriated the amount. A balance of $2,500 remained unpaid as the final settlement due on the $lO,- 000 high school building at Shamokin Dam on April 7, 1917. The board that day granted an order on the treasurer for the $2,500 to be paid to Albert Boyer, of Northumberland, the contrac tor. Heiser volunteered he would be going to Northumberland In a few days, and that it was unnecessary for the treas urer to go to the trouble or expense of mailing the check to Boyer. He should just give it to Heiser, and Heiser would hand it to Boyer when he saw him in the near future. It is claimed Heiser did not make delivery of the amount.

HJOmJEBimG tsSSSf Tm MJW * MH WAR'S END DOES NOT HELP ADAMS Shortage of Teachers Serious and Schools Will Likely Be Closed Gettysburg, Pa., Aug. 23. With the opening of the public schools of the county but a week oft the question of securing enough teachers for the schools is a serious one. Last year three schools were closed and the pu pils placed in other schools in the same district, but it was believed once the war was over the teachers who were called into the Army would return to their old vocation and there would he no trouble. If anything the situation is more serious. The officials have been doing their utmost to locate teachers, but a num ber are yet needed. To offset the shortage, however, it is almost certain at least ten schools will be closed and the pupils transferred to other build ings. With the,'teachers of these schools available to be sent to other schools relieves the situation to a very great extent, but even this does not solve the problem entirely. In Liberty township there is one school without a teacher, and the sit uation here Is the most serious in the county.
