With Better Conditions Than Ever the Rural Schools Are Now Nearly all Open and Teachers Report.

Below is a list of the rural schools and the teachers in each district that have sent in the post card that should come from each school at the end of the first day. Those schools omitted are the schools that have not reported, have not yet secured teachers or because of small attendance have been closed. Eleven schools are without teachers and three have been closed; four may be closed later if the attendance does not increase.
