await several thousand teachers in the
public schools in Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Montana, according
to Bruce NJ. Watson, superintendent
of schools in Spokane, who says that
fully 500 will be required in this city
next fall. There were 44S teachers
on the citys payrols last season, at
salaries ranging from $55 to 500
month.
One explanation offered for this un-
usual demand is that hundreds of
teachers have left the profession the
last few years to marry, while others
/ entered other lines UI work in the
| Northwest.
Hundreds of teachers from east
| ern states come to Washington every
! year who are qualified to teach when
| hey arrive, having taught in other
schools" said DIR. II. w. Allen, chair
man of the board of education Of
| Spokane land this is true of oregon,
| Idaho, Montana and other states In
| the West. No statistics are available
| as to the exact number of teachers
who obtain positions here each year,
but 1t is probably safe to say that 33
| per cent. of next years force in this
state will consist of teachers who arc
from eastern and central states, or
| Of those who have had no previous
| experience.
statistics compiled in Iowa show
| that the teaching force of that state
| changes every three, years, while of
| the 9,6S3 teachers receiving certifi-
Gates In Kansas last year 1859 had no
| previous experience. The many new
schools opened in Washington and
| other northwestern states each year,
and the added number of teachers
needed each succeeding year in all
Of our rapidly growing cities and
towns, causes an unusual demand for
recruits to the teaching staffs. Be-
cause of the many opportunities In
other lines of work a large percent
age of teachers leave the profession
in this and other states in the North
west each year than in eastern states
