v a surplus of public school teachers the london advertiser says that there are now too many teachers in thelprovince of ontario it s stated that there are 250 applications from qualified teachers for positions on the london public schools staff and no vacancies the advertiser criticizes the system which continues to turn out new teachers when there are so many at present looking for schools witn
