The new official School Directory of
Wisconsin, which recently came from
the press, lists 300 free four.year high
schools. OF these POI were in opera
tion last year, and ll9 of them have
new principals this year: that is, over
forty per cent of the high schools of
the state made changes in the princi-
palship. This means that the average
term of service of n principal in any
one high school Is about two and n half
years.
OF the ,4S6 assistants in the high
schools last year $40 have not returned
to their former positions this year
approximately 81 per cent, thus making
the average term OF service of high
school assistant in any one school
about 2.7 years.
All will agree that these figures be-
token degree of instability in the
high school teaching force which must
OF necessity operate greatly to reduce
It's efficiency. a manufacturing con
cern which would change its manage.
ment and force OF workers as often as
the average high school changes its
teaching force would be doomed tc
disaster.
