Rural Teachers Amateurs

Figures collected by the United states
Bureau Of Education show that ;hc
rural public schools Of the country arc
taught largely by young unmarried
people who have no idea of following
teaching as a profession" According
to these figures the average age when
teaching is begun is nineteen years and
tho average time devoted TO the pro-
fcssion is only six and half years.
The average time for teacher TO
remain in any one school, according to
Harold w. FoCht. VINO compiled the
figures. is less than two years of 40
days each. This average is really less
for the majority OF teachers. and is
raised to the year figure by the few
permanent professional teachers alone"
The conclusions of Mir. Foght are:
$50 long as teachers continue TO he
pcri;:atctics the best results in com
muuity leadership cannot be expected
a change from amateur to professional
teaching in the rural schools would be
hastened by giving the teacher a salary
that would enable him to provide com
fortahly for his family, and by compel
ling the community. through legal en-
1ctmcnt to erect p teachers cottage in
close proximity to every school plant"
The compiler of the bulletin made
special inquiries regarding the housing
Of teachers in rural communities. of
the 1000 teachers who replied 10 the
inquiry only seventy-three lived in
homes provided by the community. In
these cases. however, the bulletin SAYS,
it is demonstrated that the provid-
ing Of such homes makes the teacher
a community leader.
"In the few communities reporting
permanent homes" says the bulletin
