Local Business Men Were School Teachers
A reflection on teaching as a noble profession notes many teachers leave the classroom for higher pay in business. It cites ex-pedagogues in Lititz who rose to success, including Revs. Hershey, Gibbel, Eby, Risser, Diehm, Zartman, Habecker, and Brubaker, suggesting better salaries could keep quality educators. Also mentions the Lancaster County Tobacco Growers Association monthly meeting at the Chamber of Commerce in Lancaster on Monday next.
