WARNS AGAINST LMPOSTERS
A letter was sen'- out to all coun

that the only inspectors sent out by
the state are Chloe C. Baldridge. di
recor of rural education: G. W. Ros
ofilnf flirector of secondary educa
tion; Fuller L. Austin, deputy state!
superintendent; Herbert L. Cushine.
director of certification; S. R. Ell
son, director of adult education and
Daisy Simons, who represents "The
Knighthood of Youth." as a part of

fact that the state legislature in 1929
passed a law against salesmen solicit
ing orders from teachers during
school hours. He also urges the coun
ty superintendents to use their influ

boards as to the necessity of install-
ing telephones in the school build
