The Arrangement for Teachers for the Next School Year

By Frederick Griggs

THE time has come when our schools are making arrangements for their teaching forces for next year. We wish to say a word with reference to the securing of these teachers. Nearly all our local conferences have an educational organization with a superintendent who devotes all or a portion of his time to the church-schools. There is also in every union an educational organization. Local churches in securing teachers, and teachers desiring situations in their conferences, should, as far as possible, communicate with the local conference authorities. The conference authorities, in turn, may communicate with the union conference educational authorities. In this way our church-schools and many of our intermediate schools may arrange for their teaching forces. The General Conference Educational Department is organized to assist our training-schools and academies in the securing of their teaching forces.

We mention this general order because by its observance confusion is very often avoided, and the wisest selections are made. According to this plan, the Educational Department of the General Conference will be pleased to receive the names and addresses of teachers desiring situations in our training-schools and academies, that it may assist in answering calls for teachers made by these various schools. As far as possible, all grades of our schools should now make their arrangements for their next year's schools and for their teachers at the earliest possible date. By so doing, they can better strengthen the details of their school work for next year.
