NORMAL SCHOOL GRADS
NEED NOT STAY HERE
Teachers Unable to Find En-
pIoyment in City May Go
to Other Places.

Graduates of Washington normal schools
who fail in obtaining positions as teach
ers In the public schools of this city may
obtain employment in other places if they
are willing to go out of town. accord
ing to statements made by officials of the
District public schools today.
Every year a large number of the
graduates of the normal school fail to
get positions here as teachers MANY of
these young women in the past have
been offered and accepted positions in
other places where trained teachers are
not so plentiful as in the capital it was
said.
me question came up through the is
Suance OF bulletin by the bureau of
education. which stated that mot more
than one In every five public school teach
ers IN the l nited States is professionally
trained to the extent of being a graduate
or teachers training course
I'VE now have many normal graduates
teachlng IN Maryland and Virginia." said
ernest L. Thurston, assistant superin-
tendent of public schools today. "and
thlhk every young woman who was will
ing to go outside the District to teach
last year obtained such employment"
Many Positions Open.
Dr. William NJ. Davidson was also of
the opinion that many positions were
open to any normal school graduate who
was willing to go out of the city to work
AS TO the teachers in Washington grade
schools. he pointed out, all were well
trained. practically all of them having
completed the course in the normal
schools
Education in the public schools, and
especially in the country school, is in
the hands mainly of unskilled in
structors. according to the bulletin is
sued by the federal bureau of educa-
ton as the result of an investigation
made by two of it's experts.
Not more than one in every five teach
ers. the investigation disclosed, had been
graduated from a teachers training
school. The conditions were depressing
the investigators declare, and the report
is pessimistic in tone.
Steps to Raise Standard.
Steps are now being taken to raise the
standards for teachers in the rural
schools, where the worst situation was
found. The lure of the city and town,
it was found, drained the country of it's
best teaching talent and in consequence
the country schools We're forced to get
along as best they could.
The rural teacher. says the bulletin,
the city teacher, but he needs also adj
ditional courses in natural and physical
sciences particularly in their application,
and in nature study, elementary agricul-
ture. domestic economy, sanitation, rural
economics and rural sociology
Many of the states have special courses
in those studies for the benefit of pros
pectve teachers, and the federal bureau
hopes to encourage the spread of the
movement.

CLEVER IDEAS FOR BL0USES
Delicate Net Waist and Corset Cover
Are to Be Fastened 10 the
Same Belt.

A clever New York designer has
made use OF a French idea In devising
blouses Of French net, known as tulle
or blonde and other extremely sheer
fabrics. BY themselves. as every wo.
man knows, net waists are SO delicate
that the wearing OF them is some
what trying and uncertain proceed
ing. 1t is practically impossible to
anchor them securely In any one po-
sition. And there can be no such
quality as "flt" because OF the neces.
sity OF having them large In order to
keep them from breaking out
This New York designer has got
around these objections by putting a
corset cover OF lace, embroidery and
ribbons inside the net waist and fas.
tening both corset cover and waist to
the same belt. The ribbons can be
run In and taken out at will and the
combination corset cover and blouse
easily laundered In one piece. These
biouses are distinct novelty and
cutie an inexpensive one. Another
model by the same designer is in
white cotton crepe with regular
Montenegrin jacket. also OF the crepe,
but with Persian border. The color.
Ing is repeated In the buttons and the
bow at the neck.

The sheets, which at the right upper

Long oblong sheets Of glazed-surface
paper with half.inch lap-over at one

other stationery novelty of this season.
These sheets and envelopes come in

shades and to match them are two by
six inch correspondence cards-also
with lapoyer ends-and exceedingly
narrow envelopes.

left alone for several years after once

somewhat stiff soil is preferred-that

II the position is one particularly
shaded from lots Of sunshine in the

cies retain their beauty for much
longer period than they would II ex-

The usual mode Of propagation is by
Offsets. which should be collected
from the parent bulbs and planted out
separately for year in order that
they may grow sufficiently large for
Towering. The majority Of the species
increase somewhat freely by this
method and permanent clumps may be
lifted. and their offsets removed.

caused by the Towering bulbs being
overcrowded. ensuing from their null
tiplying. The process Of raising plants
from seeds is a slow one, but is prac-
ticed for raising new varieties. Seeds
should be sown soon after being col
lected, In pans Of sandy and rather
loamy soil. Young bulbs should be
planted In a prepared border, and do
not require more than one inch Of
space.

REALLY WILL WHITEN HANDS

For softenlng and whitening the

sides cold cream. II is the simplest
of home remedies. and has the great
merit Of being far quicker In It's ef.

cornmeal and kerosene.
Take a handful OF the meal, as one
would take sonp. moistcn this with the
kerosene as with water, and rub the
hands as though they were being
washed. After this wash them in
warm water. That Is the whole pro.
cess. Yet the results, particularly II

hands ARE always coarsened, is truly
satisfactory.
No odor OF kerosene Is left after
rinsing. and, strange AZ II may seem,
the effect is excellent on the tiny cuts
and bruises which come with house.

meal have not dainty sound. but the
