Demand for Taachars.

The success of Dr. James M. Green, prin
cipal Of the State schools, in securing posi-
tions for the graduates of the Normal
schools who received their diplomas last
Friday week shows that the demand for
trained teachers is far greater than the
supply.
Out of class of fifty-fve, all but ten,
have secured positions at an approximate
salary of $42 month.
The reason for the demand for trained
teachers is attributed to the fact that the
great majority of those who are following
the profession entered through third county
or lower grade city examinations. Those
examinations cover only a very modest
academic equipment. For instance, per-
son has probably committed to memory the
statements in an ordinary textbook on his
tory and has no knowledge of the value or
relation to the important institutional life
of the country, such as transportation,
medium of exchange and state government
and has no conception of how to adopt
them to the comprehension of children.
Such a person passes as an unframed
teacher and yet it is those who are teaching
from one-half to two-thirds of the classes
in this state.
LACK OF HIGH SCHOOL TRAINING.
There are more of this class of persons
seeking employment than there are vacan-
cies. With the trained teacher, however,
the supply is not equal to the demand.
The process of securing trained teachers
has been greatly retarded by the lack of
competent high school training throughout
the State.
1t has long been the feeling that to take
up pedagogical training to the best advan-
tage, one should at least be graduate of a
high school, About twelve years ago the
New Jersey State Board of Education come
to keen realization Of this fact, and
adoted measures looking to the stimulation
of high school education throughout the
State.
Prominent among the measures was the
establishment of the list Of approved high
schools. Steadily through the subsequent
years this work of stimulation has gone on
in one form or another and great gains have
been made.
Previous to the State Board of Education
taking the matter in hand there were but
few high school graduates in the Normal
school, At present there are about 275
graduates of high schools enrolled. There
are also number of high school graduates
who are studying in city training schools,
but from the present demand, triple the
number or the equivalent is needed to take
up pedagogical courses.

Mr.. Sithens said this completed the work
of the city on the sewers, except some fill
ing in.
There was protracted and spirited dis
cussion as to the wording of resolution
introduced by Mr.. Reading stating the
reasons for the rejection of certain bids and
for awarding the contract to Mr.. Sweeten.
The resolution carried the idea that the
rejected bids were not considered, be-
cause of the failure of the bidders to specify
time of completion of contract, while Mr..
Henderson commended that the bids were
considered and rejected after consideration
and on the opinion of the Solicitor. The
original motion was adopted by vote of
to 3.
Hon. d. 0. Watkins was granted the
privilege of the floor, and said he appeared
on behalf Of the Artificial Stone Pavement
and Construction Company, the former
sewer contractors, who desired meeting
with committee Of Council to see if the
differences between themselves and the city
cannot be amicably adjusted.
Mr.. Davis moved that the Sewer Com
mittee, supplemented by the Engineer and
Solicitor, be appointed to meet the con-
tractors and ascertain if such a settlement
can be made.
Mr. Henderson moved as a substitute that
this mission be delegated to a new commit
tee, outside the Sewer Committee, as most
likely to arrive at a just conclusion with
the contractors.
Mr. Reading favored Mr.. Davis motion.
Mr. Leeds left the chair and attempted to
pour oil on the troubled waters by making
the committee consist of the two old MEM
beers of the Sewer Committee, two members
of Council not connected with this commit
tee the Solicitor and Engineer.
Mr.. Sithens desired an enlarged commit
tee and would like to see it embrace the
entire Council.
These efforts at enlargement Of the COM
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1902-02-13

mittee failed, and Mr.. Davis original
motion was adopted.
The resignation of Freebooter Chas. Wal
ton as a member Of the Board of Health
was accepted. and on motion of Mr.. Hen
derson, DR.. H. A. Wilson was unanimously
elected to fill the vacancy.
After authorizing the negotiation of a
sewer note for $43914, Council adjourned.
