DEARTH OF SCHOOL
4 TEACHERS in CHICAGO

Chicago, June 8. - School officials
have become alarmed over the prospec-
tive famine of public school teachers
next year. 1t is estimated that the def
cit will exceed 800 if the present poll
cy of overcrowding rooms and placing
children halliday sessions is continued.
If the new policy advocated by P.
Shelly Organ and other school trus-
tees of having not more than forty
eight pupils to each teacher, and of hav-
ing all pupils in whole day sessions is in
augurated then the number Of teachers
needed will exceed the available sup
ply by nearly a thousand. sss tl =
On tie pay roll of May were 5,78z
teachers. The ANIMAL loss of teachers
from the system through discharge,
death, resignation and marriage has
been in excess Of 400 for the last four
years. Several new schools are to be
opened next year which will require
approximately 100 additional teachers
above the number now employed, max
ing q total Of 500 teachers demanded BY
| the board. .a.,s 3s,
To supply this demand are the nor
NAL scnool graduates and the teachers
from other cities who annually come
to Chicago. The normal school has
seyenty-fye in this years graduating
class and the number of teachers liv-
ling outside of Chicago making applica-
| tion for the annual examination is less
| than 200. liz $50 Of these outside teach
ers pass the test and otherwise properly
qualify the board will be fortunate. Per.
haps sixty of the seyenty-five normal
students will .be acceptable.

sition made by Chief Engineer Elliott
of the drainage bureau of the agricul-
tural department, removing the restric-
tion placed upon the appropriation re-
gently passed by this county, to aid in
the drainage investigation. The former
resolution made it necessary for all
six counties in the Red River Valley
to go into this deal in order to have the
funds, of Walsh County available for
this purpose. but owing to the informa-
ton presented by him the commission
>ers decided to tender the general gov

by it is hoped that a comprehensive sys-
tenn of drainage will eventually be in
