cent of the teachers are men and wo-
men less than 81 years old. In the
country at large less than one-haf

their work. In some states less than
20 per cent have had the full prepar-
alton given by normal schools and in
most Of the states less than 10 per

schools have had such preparation.
Few continue to teach long enough to
gain wisdom and skill from exper-
fence. In several states from 20 to
80 per cent of the teachers every year
are beginners. In a few states the
average length of service is less than
four years of six months each"
Continuing his review DR.. Claxton
shows that the value of all public
school property has increased more
than seventy-five percent in the first
ten years of shis century, but that
even now it amounts to less than $40
for each child of school age. Similar
ly, although the income of public
schools has increased more than SO
per cent in this period, still even now
it is very low in many common
! wealths. Thus the expenditure for
public education is less than SIS per
capita in 25 states and less than $3.50
per capita in 10 states.
DR.. Claxton also remarks that the
number of public high schools in this
country for the period of 1900-1910 in
! nd
that the number of high-school pupils
jumped more than rs per cent. How
| ever, there is still much room for i'm

WASHINGTON, May 8.-Both the
erican educational system were dis
cussed by DR.. P. P. Claxton, the I'm
tied States Commissioner of Educa-
ton, in his annual review of educa-
tional conditions, soon to be issued for
free distribution by the United States
bureau of education.
DIR. Claxton notes that the average
number of days attended by each
child enrolled in the public schools
increased in the first decade of this
century by almost IA per cent. New
ertheless. he points out, the average
daily attendance of these children is
still only 113 days in the year or less
than 5& months. Assuming that this
rate of attendance shall continue
through the Is school years Is to 49,
the average amount of schooling re-
ceived by each child of the school
population will be only 1,046 days or
little more than five years of ten
school months each
The average monthly salary for
male teachers has increased about 3S
per cent in the decade under discus
sion, while female teachers are get
ting q per cent more than in 1900.
At the same time the average wage
for public school teachers in the veal
thy cities and in the high schools
teachers all over the country, includ-
ing teachers in the wealthy cities and
in the high schools, is less than $500,
about SO a day for the actual number
Of days taught, about $3.50 day for
the actual working days of the year
In this connection, DIR. Claxton says
that it should be remembered that
teachers are expected to give their
entire time either to the actual work
in the schoolroom, to school work
which must be done out of school
hours, or to preparing themselves, in
summer schools and elsewhere, fol
better service.
Clearly there must be a large in
crease in the salaries of teachers be
fore we may expect the efficient ser
vice which is desirable.
| In some states the wage scale fol
teachers fall far below the country
wide average. Thus, DR.. Claxton OBJ

annual salary for teachers is less thar
