Teaching Positions In Maine.

According to figures compiled in the Of
fee of the state superintendent of schools
it is found that during the last school
year there were 1872 different teaching
positions in the public elementary schools
of Maine. OF these 3l5 were required
to be filed by men teachers. As an indi-
cation of the unstable character of the
position Of teacher it should be noted
that sos different men teachers were en-
ployed in the year, while 6,4S5 different
women were employed to fill the 4,517
places open to women teachers in ele-
mentary schools. Since 1924 teachers
occupied the same positions for the en-
tire year, 1t would seem that practically
few OF the schools of Maine were sub
jected to enormous changes during the
year.
In commenting on these figures State
Superintendent Smith expresses the
opinion that schools are generally far
less profitable when under such condi-
tions of frequent change than ,they are
when under a reasonable permanent
teaching force.
