Commenting on the lack of teachers Pendleton writes, “Teachers are not born, they are made, and it takes quite a while to make one.” The Academy schools are struggling to remain open due to Mr. Doering’s illness in addition to the absence of three prominent teachers. They are considering canceling afternoon classes, holding only morning classes from 8:00am to 12:15pm to give the teachers a much needed break. Names mentioned: Olive Bostock, Mr. Doering
