Baseball Schedule HOME GAMES Junior Legion July 21, Cedar Rapids Red Sox July 22, Marengo 25, Victor TEACHERS READY FOR ALL COUNTY RURAL SCHOOLS All rural schools of Iowa county have teachers for the coming school year. It would seem, says Mrs. Watkins, County Superintendent of Schools, that the saying "the higher the qualifications, the better the supply of teachers" is holding true for rural teachers in the county this year, During the past qualifications for teachers' certificates have been raised with the exception of what some consider a slight drop in requirements this spring. Mrs.

Watkins notes that this is the first time during the ten years she has been in office that all rural boards have had their teaching personel hired this carly in season, She says this is also the first time during her experience that all teachers employed will have regular teaching certificates. Previous to this there have always been some of the rural teachers who had emergency or special one- certifloates. Only two of the 32 rural teachers in Iowa county will be beginning teachers and only five, including the two beginners, will be new in the county, This means that of next years rural teachers wil be the same that worked in the county last year as compared to a onethird turnover as has sometimes been the case in the past. Not only are rural schools supplied with teachers earlier than usual this year, but they are as a group better qualified and experienced than in the past.
