Over eight hundred of these must be transported daily. An efficient teaching corps must be provided on the limited finances available in competition with wartime wages. l+1c!ucational programs must be geared to wartime needs. The community owes a vote of thanks to these men who have worked untiringly to maintain the high standards of our schools and who. at the same time, have improved the financial status of the district.
