Tye's Find

Husbands may be the solution to the teacher-shortage problem. It began to seem so last week to School Superintendent Charles H. Tye of Sioux County, Iowa, as he added up the responses to his offer of husbands "within a year" to women who would become Sioux County schoolmarms (TIME, Sept. 25). Long before the bulk of his replies rolled in, his ten original openings had been filled. For next year's vacancies he kept on file the letters of such applicants as these:

P: From Ohio: "Your announcement is certainly a challenge. . . . I accept the invitation."

P: From Massachusetts: "Personally, I think it would be lovely to have a man."

P: From South Carolina: "I would not object to a Yankee if he were kind of heart."

P: From Minnesota: "I am Swedish. . . . If I have a choice of men it would still be Swedish."
