"The Immediate need OF the Public
schools.
In beginning Miss Carlysle traced. I'm a
most interesting way, the development
of our great public school system, and at-
ter dwelling az length upon educational
methods OF the present day and college
women in grade work, she said:
Grade teachers OF the country may en-
ter school with no especial training. or
with normal or training school diplomas.
ready from colleges. Returns from sew
eral superintendents OF city schools show
that the number of college women I'm the
grades is extremely small The grades are
the most important part OF our educa ton
al system They sorely need the help OF
women of liberal education and profess
sional training Moreover. college gradu-
stes must turn To the grades ~ they
would gain livelihood by teaching. FOR
high school positions open hut rarely.
or the 400 new teachers required in Com
necticut each year IL II estimated that
not more thon one-eighth are needed I'm
high schools. In Springfield. Mass there
are N high school positions. against about
250 I'm the grades. In New Haven the pro-
portion Is one 10 seven; in New Isr~ y.
one To eight while secondary school va
cancies are few The eastern colleges
alone send out approximately 500 young
woman yearly.a large percentage OF whom
wish high school positions. II Is said that
I'm the city OF Boston there are annually
not more than ten vacancies I'm the high
schools. but that there are on the waiting
list several hundred college graduates.
LAS one superintendent says, The only
alternative is for college graduates 10 re-
sort To teaching I'm the grades-grammar
and primary"
college alumnae have also objected 10
grammar grade children, who must he
taught for continuous session rather
than I'm high schools. where classes
change every a. minutes, claiming that
the two sessions OF the grades allow little
time for study preparation and recrea-
tion."
In conclusion the speaker summed up
the immediate need OF the public school
as follows.
The immediate need OF our public
school system is body OF literally edu-
Gated and well trained women To become

From most reliable source is has been

lieves that the lending of the great
Democratic party year after year to
the ambitions of toy statesmen, how

The persons mentioned could in no
