The extravagant freedom of midsummer holidays which is embraced by school students between June, and September s the precious possession of youth alone. It Is not given to adults. Particularly Is It not given to members of that pillar of the educational system, the School I Board. Illustrating this verity Is the fact that from the time Prince Rupert schools close their doors at the end of June, the School Board finds It needful to begin preparing for the opening of another school term. Complicating these, preparations this year are the resigna tions of 14 of the schools' 38 teachers, with the resultant dif ficulties of replacing them. Mrs. J. A. Rutherford, School Board secretary, told the Daily News that replacements for all but four of the vacated teaching positions have been appointed. "However, it looks as though we are running into difficulties now. We have plenty of applications, but none with qualifications as high as we would like. Most of the well qualified teachers who changed their schools have found new ones by now," she said. Ten of the 14 resignations received by the board came from Booth Memorial High School teachers, two from King Edward and two from Borden Street public schools.
