Better Teachers for the Rural school.

flied teachers. At least one-third OF
the rural teachers for the country al
large have no professional training
The average scholarship OF this class
OF unframed teachers is little more
than an eighth grade education. There
are $4,000 one teacher rural schools
in the United States. II is conserva.
tive. therefore. to say that there are
10000 rural teachers I'm this country
with only an elementary education and
no professional training. There is ono
state in the union that has over 1000
teachers, with only a seventh grade
education and no professional train
ing. In charge OF it's rural schools this
year. There are several states that
number their rural teachers in this
class by the thousand and there are
many states that count their rural
teachers In this class by the hundreds
Another third of the rural teachers
OF the United States have only a limit
ed amount Of professional training
and on an average their scholarship is
not above the tenth grade. that is, a
two-year high school education beyond
the eighth grade. There are at least
10000 teachers In this class.
A majority OF the remaining one
third OF the rural teachers of our
country have on the average only q
four-year high school education which
includes from one to two years at
the professional work given in the
junior and senior years in teacher
training high schools, or several sum-
mer terms at summer schools for
teachers.
These are the conditions that face
us in the qualifications of our rural
teachers. The problem that confronts
us is how to improve these conditions
1t is the purpose OF the bureau OF edu.
cation to issue a series OF talks I'm ar
effort to show the country how tc
solve this most important problem in
American education today. The fac
that we have over 10000 teachers
without adequate preparation for their
work Is enough to arouse the public
| mind on this question to such de-
gree that within the merit decade we
shall have a sufficient number Of
| teachers with adequate training fol
every rural school in the United
States.

LABOR BILLS
WHICH HAVE
bECOMELAWS
AMERICAN ASSN FOR LABOR
LEGISLATION GIVES OUT FULL
AND COMPLETE REPORT OF
LAWS PASSED

New York, Sept. 4.-Ninety-two
labor laws have been passed by Con-
gress and State legislatures during
the past legislative year, according
to survey which was made public
last night by the American Associa-
tion for Labor Legislation on the eve
of Labor Day. "The most significant
items in this legislation" says the
secretary, DR.. John B. Andrews, "are
two national laws, one prohibiting
the shipment in interstate or foreign
commerce of certain products in the
preparation of which the labor of
children has been employed, and the
other providing model scale of
workmen's compensation for person
al injuries among federal employees,
Iof which there are now more than
4SO, 900.
Several hundred labor bills were
introduced into Congress this year."
DR.. Andrews adds, while eleven
State legislatures in spite of the
reaction ground out their full share
of the annual grist."
The Associations summary of the
more important items of labor legis-
lation in various States follows:
Three States, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts and South Carolina con-
cerned themselves with the legal
regulation of collective bargaining.
In Maryland State board is author
ized to prescribe rules Of procedure
for arbitration of industrial disputes
including power to conduct investi-
cations and hold hearings, to sum-
mon witnesses and enforce their at
tendance, to require the production
of books, documents and papers. and
administer oaths, exercising these
powers to the same extent that such
powers are possessed by the civil
courts of the State. South Caro-
lima created a board of three men,
bers to investigate and to promote
agreements in strikes and lockouts
at the rate of ten dollars per day
each. Massachusetts amended her
law regulating the procuring of
strikebreakers.
During the year seven of the
eleven States holding regular legis-
lative sessions passed either new or
strengthened old laws affecting child
labor. Shorter hours, higher min
imum age, prohibition of night work
and exclusion from hazardous en-
ployments are the main tendencies.
South Carolina raises the minimum
work age from twelve to fourteen,
while Massachusetts and New Jersey
make special provision for pupils
who study part-time in vocational

"Impelled by recent accidents New

Following the Limitation of work
ing hours on public work tonight a

Massachusetts this year provides for
her public employees the further linn
itation Of the forty-eight hour week.
In private employment several States
place additional safeguards around
the employment OF women and chill
dren during the Christmas shopping
season, and Massachusetts, is to in
vestigate the possibilities of one day
of rest in seven for employees in ho-
tells and restaurants.
Legislation authorizing public
employment bureaus in Maryland,

grants in New York, is supplement
