SCHOOL TEACHERS WANTED.
A Serious Lack Of Applicants for POSI-
tions In Our City Schools.

There is at least one of the professions
which Is not crowded, and so far as
this city is concerned there are
more vacancies than applicants. 1t
is the school teachers profession, and
Superintendent Tarbell has urged the
young ladies about 10 graduate from the
Providence High School to continue their
work in the schoolroom not as pupils but
as teachers.
This difference between positions and
applicants, peculiar to the educational
business done. does not go back for more
than one year, for up to the opening OF
the last school year 1t was the same ir
teaching as in everything else
there were those who wished TO teach but
there was no room for them. Now the
system has so advanced that 80 new
teachers are required every year, and
tnat increase OF the teaching force Is
not kept up with, in proportion to the size
.of the graduating classes OF the girls de-
partment in the High School, the source OF
nearly all OF Providence teachers In
So at present Mr.. Tarbeil says that
all the graduates who wish to teach are
wanted besides more from outside. The
reasons given for this condition of Affairs
are the greater school attendance, the
lessening OF the number OF pupils assigned
to each teacher, the greater require
ments made of the teachers and the large
number of employments in other direc-
tions which 1t Is now possible for young
women to engage in. Another
obstacle to increasing the num-
Der of teachers, but it is a
wise one, is that which gives all the ad-
vantages to the girl educated in this city;
the candidate from outside must first
qualify by passing an examination either
in the High School here or
under Superintendent Tarbell and
then her salary has been fixed by the City
Council at $3.50, $3.50 and $500 for the
first, second and third years respectively
in the Providence schools. She
may have had years Of experience in other
places but has to begin here with the rest
at $3.50 as remuneration for her first years
services.
Mr.. Tarbell concluded his statements
this forenoon about schools and
teachers with the remark that
the school committee would be obliged to
hunt for candidates instead of waiting for
the candidates to come and apply.

WANT NEW STATES.


BY The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 20-Delegate
Joseph of New Mexico will
make move as soon as the appro-
priation bills are out OF the way
to secure special rule for the New Mexico
Statehood bill, which will be givenr right of
way and block all other business in the
House until a quorum makes 1t appear
ance and passes the bill.
Mr.. Joseph had arranged to take up the
bill yesterday but when the time came he
recognized the futility OF the course as
there was far short OF Democratic
quorum present.
AS party lines are drawn on the bill, he
could hope for no help from the Repub-
lican side, and was obliged to postpone
action. "It appears to be useless" said
he, "to try TO pass the bill unless
il is made special order and held before
the House, blocking all other business
until Democratic quorum comes here
and passes the measure. IL will be re-
markable IL a house with a large Demo-
cratic majority cannot pass this bill. All
i want Is a quorum, and for that reason
will move to get the measure before the
House and keep IL there until the MAJOR
ity comes back and passes it as soon as the
appropriation bills are considered"
The party issue on the New Mexico bill
is due to the fact that the minority OF the
House want Oklahoma admitted at the
same time. Representative Thomas, a
Republican member of the committee
on territories, says that as the admission
OF New Mexico ~ likely to add two new
Democratic United States Senator's
to the present majority of the Sem
ate, while the admission OF Oklahoma Is
likely TO add two Republican Senators to
the minority, IL Is proper to even up these
political advantages by admitting those
territories at the same time. IL is urged
also that the Utah and Arizona bills,
already passed by the House, give a pros
pect of four Democratic Senators so that
fairness urges the admission of Oklahoma
rs well as the other three territories.
The purpose OF the minority in the
house TO raise the point of no quorum is
due TO the failure 10 secure an agreement
20 pass the Oklahoma with the New Mex
leo bill Delegate Joseph is confident that
the special rule he Is after will pass the
New Mexico bill without complication
with Oklahoma.

ALBANY, March 20.-The state board Of
charity handed in its report on the Elmira
reformatory investigation and 1t Is against
the board of managers. After detailing
mt length the findings in the evidence, the
investigating committee concludes:
"That the charges and allegations
against General Superintendent Brock
way of 'cruel, brutal, excessive, degrad-
ing and unusual punishment of the in
mates are proven and most amply sus-
tanned by the evidence, and that he Is
guilty of the same; that the general
superintendent in Furnishing convicts by
blows across the face by the paddle and
the handle thereof. not because OF any
offense committed by them, but because
they happen to turn their heads often for
the purpose of pleading for mercy. is
guilty of needless cruelty and gross inhu-
manity; that the general superintendent
permitted and encouraged officers and
keepers to strike, kick, beat and other
wise practice brutality upon the inmates
when in his presence in the bathroom,
and that, therefore, said officers and keep
ers were encouraged to exercise brutality
upon the inmates elsewhere and when
not in his presence.
"We therefore find the general superin-
tendent guilty of the charge of permitting,
countenancing and encouraging brutality
on the part of the officers and Keepers
that corporal punishment as practiced
in the reformatory should be prohibited
by law; that the general medical super
vision of the reformatory Is mad equate." F"
