Box 71 The Teacher Problem More than 100,000 teaching po sitions in the puplic schools of the United States are either vacant or filled by teachers below standard, and the attendance at regular normal schools and teacher-training schools has decreased 20 per cent in the last three years. These startling facts are shown by the complete report of an investigat ion made by the National Educat ion Association. . Letters were sent out by the As sociation in September to every county and every district superin tendent in the United States ask ing for certain definite informa tion. Signed statements were sent in by more than 1,700 superintend euts, from every state, represent ing 238,573 teaching positions These report an actual shortage of 14,G83 teachers, or slightly more than 0 per cent of the teaching positions represented, and 23,000 teachers below standard who have been accepted to fill vacancies, or slightly less than 10 per cent. It is estimated that there are 650,000 teaching positions in the public schools of the United States, and if these figures hold good for the entire country there are 30,000 vacancies and 05,000 teachers be low standard. These same superintendents re port that 52,798 teachers dropt out during the past year, a loss of over 22 per cent. On this basis the total number for the entire country would be 143,000. The re ports riiow that the shortage of teachers and the number of teach ers below standard are greatest in the rural districts where salaries are lowest and teaching condit ions least attractive. The states in which salaries and standards are highest hav;e the most nearly adequate supply of teachers. California shows a com bined shortage and below standard of Sy2 per cent; Massachusetts shows iy2 per cent, and Illinois 7 percent. In at least six of the Southern states more than one third of their schools are reported either without teachers or being taught by teachers below their standards. Nearly all of the superintend ents declare that teachers' salaries have not increased in proportion to the increased cost of living, nor as salaries have increased in other vocations, and that teachers are continuing to leave the profession for other work. Reports received by the Nation al Education Association from normal school presidents show that the attendance in these teacher-training institutions has fallen off alarmingly. The total attend ance in 78 normal schools and teacher training schools located in 35 different states for the year 11)10, was 83,051. In 1911) the at tendance in these same schools had fallen to 20,134. The total number in the graduating classes of 1920 in these 78 schools is, 7119. These figures show a decrease of over 30 per tent in four years in the finest product of these schools. These presidents of these insti tutions state that in order to in duce promising young men and women to enter the teaching pro fession and thereby furnish the country au adequate supply of competent, well-trained teachers, there must be: 1. Higher salaries for trained teachers; 2. Higher professional stand ards, excluding the incompetent and unprepared; 3. More liberal appropriations to state normal schools and teach er training schools iu order to pay better salaries iu these institu tions and furnish better equip ment ; 5. Extending the courses and raising the standards in the teach- RUBBER STAMPS made at this office on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Notice of Sale of Government Leases At 10 o'clock, A.
