COUNTRY IS FACING TEACHER SHORTAGE Failure to Provide Adequate Salaries Given as Reason Washington. March 12 The coun try is faced with a serious shortage of school .teachers, chiefly through failure to provide adequate salaries, according- to reports to the F. S. .Un real of ICd ucal ion. Condition are becoming slightly better, however, the report states, in some sections; compared with those of last October when the national educational asso ciation conducted an inquiry into the situation. Rased on returns from state school officials reports show that on Feb ruary 13 last th'-re wvre IS, -79 schools closed because of lack of teachers and 4 1.900 being taught by teachers characterized as 'below standard but taken on temporarily in the emergency." Greater shortages are shown to exist irt southern states. Responding to a questionnaire sent out by the bureau of education rcat many of the states which are snoi'5 ot teachers snow that children are being transferred to oth er districts while the remainder re port pupils losing the grade. To an other question as to what extent tax payers are interesting themselves in paying better salaries for teachers, the response was almost unanimous for an increase. Salaries yjaid to teachers in 191S. statistics show were on an average of $600 for elementary teachers and $1,031 for tho.se teaching in High schools. From salary schedules col lected from various stales, giving salaries received by individual teach ers in three counties in each state, it is shown that wages paid rural teachers fell far below the foregoing average in many states, many local ities showing salaries paid as low as $150 and $200 a year. In 190 state, county, city and pri vate normal schools, representing ' per cent of the total normal schools in the country, there were 11.."(i:' fewer students enrolled Xoveniber 1. 1910, than during- the pre-war period. A similar falling off is shown in teacher-training- departments in col leges while other departments show great increases in enrollment. A. O. Xeal, of the bureau's divi sion of rural education said today there is an increasing withdrawal of men teachers from the profession, the percentage of male teachers in l'JlS' being only 17 per cent or one in every six. M:i;i).S VATICAN'S IIKI.P France Thinks Cooperation With Papal Powers Is to Her Interest. Paris. March 12. Xati6nal inter ests of France justify her in working in closer accord with the Vatican, says the preamble of the bill pro viding for re-establishment of rela tions with the Holy See, presented to day in the chamber of deputies. A number of instances where Franco needs a diplomatic repre sentative at the Vatican are cited by the preamble. It says in the now sit uation in Syria. Palestine, Constanti nople and the Orient generally where. France has century-old traditional sympathies, there are" French mis sionaries who "ought not to be saori fired to foreign competitors." Tin; application of the concordat to Alsace Lorraine, the administration of mis ."ioiTs in the former German colonies of Togoland and Kamerun and the ex ercise of the 'atholic religion in Mo rocco are. pointed out as problems in which coperation between France and the Vatican is necessary.
