pertntendents to co-oPerateo win
Teaching Training Institution In per-
hitting their schools. under necessary
restrictions, for practice teaching. TIE
fact that new and unskilled teachers
are now employed is sufficient grounes
for reasonableness for this request. We
favor any agency that will elevate the
calling of teacher into a dignif1ed ar d
universally respected profession with
q code OF professional ethics, ana
set of pedagogical standards that will
give 1t rank equal to all other pro-
fessions
Closer Supervision of schools.
We endorse the declaration OF tho
N. E. A. at it's last annual meeting on
the subject of supervision and adopt in
part the language of that body. We
believe sit is to be sound educational
principle that wherever a teacher Is st
work or child Is at school, be II In
city. town or county district, bot,
teacher and child should have the ber-
eft of close personal and profession
supervision" We are also convinced
that the division superintendent. how
ever efficient he may be. is unable.
owing to the great number OF schools
under his direction to give such super
vision to the schools of a big county.
We, therefore, heartily approve tire
movement in certain counties and GER
tain districts to employ expert super
visors over certain number CT
schools and believe that this policy,
when fully inaugurated, will In tim
largely overcome the many serious
problems connected with rural educa-
ton. Whatever the details of such a sys-
tenn may be, "some adequate provision
should be made for opening up rural
school supervision as a career for men
and women, a career for which either
might be warranted In making
thorough preparation and which either
might enter wholly on the basis of
merit"

salaries In Virginia during the past
decade should serve only to emphasize
the need of still greater increase I;
for our State IL still far behind a num-
Der of Southern States and practically
ali Northern and Western States In the
salaries paid TO public school teach
ers. Five thousand white teachers of
our State employed in the one and two
teacher county schools receive an an
nual yearly salary of only $2l4. This
less than living wage received by
country school teachers constitutes a
reproach to the State and public spirit
ed citizens should see that It is speed

There are two methods OF increasing

ening the school term. We, therefore,
urge all school boards to fix a mini
mum salary for competent teachers of
not less than $40 per month and fur
Their more urge upon the General AS
sembly OF Virginia the enactment Of a
minimum salary law fixing $40 as the
lowest salary to be paid the holder OF
first grade certificate. We would
further urge the Importance OF at least
n seven months school term in
every country school of the State.
This question of teachers salary
vitality concerns the public schools of
virginia and cannot be ignored by
citizens. This is especially true of our
country schools where thousands of
teachers are working for less than iiv-
ing wages. and are being drawn away
by more attractive salaries in the
towns and cities. We call upon all
good citizens to interest themselves
for living wage for those work
ers who devote their lives to the train (
ing of the future citizenship of the
State.
