A WHIRLWIND
Wilkes-Barre Penn, Finds
Itself in the Centre OF a
Turbulent Situation

WiWes-Borre, Penn, October IJ.
This is a city of war orders. labor

problems which always make life IN

of work compels the operation Of fac

10 do is TO 90 down in the public
SQUARE and say something derogatory
TO the labor unions. There will be
something doing Immediately, for
there are few more highly unionized
communities, whose loyal supporters
will discuss their grievances in twenty
six languages almost any hour OF the
day or night.
Besides being headquarters Of the
anthracite industry, this town has
come to be the home of 200 jitneys.
Up to few weeks ago there were 800
or coo plying the streets in competi-
ton with the streetcers. whose owners
had encountered the displeasure OF the
unions. This situation is the result
Of boycott which is probably unlike
ANYTHING of the kind. ever seen before
in the United States. The street rail-
way employees demanded higher wage,
and after considerable negotiation
both sides agreed to arbitration, which
was conducted along approved lines.
The final award involved a basis OF
settlement which made the railway
company pay over to its employees
about $4,000 for back wages at the
higher rate. All went well for few
weeks, until professional agitators
struck the town and made the men
believe that they ought to have been
more literally treated. The union
finally upset the arrangement it had
previously agreed to. and the result
was a further demand, which the rail-
way interests refused to grant.
Then began the strike which has
now reached the boycott stage. Thou

fort of the jitney to the comfort OF

the difficulties of the railways. The

owners are taking their heavy losses
quietly in the effort to support the
principle of arbitration and to insist
upon compliance with perfectly fair

Of the past, and it IS doubtful II
the boycott survives the cold weather,

cling will become more apparent than
they are to-day. The whole country

strike should be allowed to succeed

As we 60 to press, we are happy

been organized at ST. Joseph, and

OF all the untoward conditions that
make against efficiency in the public
school system OF Louisiana in its present
condition, the most serious il that Of the
shifting, unsettled teacher To-day this
problem is a more serious one even than
that OF the unframed teacher. That this
is true is shown by the following statis-
tics taken from the l9l4-l9l5 report of
our State Superintendent.
l. OF the 1891 white teachers in the
public schools of Louisiana, Orleans in =
cluded, 4,27S are either holders of first
grade certificates or graduates of normal
schools and colleges. This shows that
more than 1910 of our theachers are
trained.
2. When We come, however, to the
question of permanency of employment
We find that, of the 1874 white teachers
in Louisiana, Orleans not included, 2,64S
during the past three years had been in
their positions for not more than one
year; another zoos were in their posi-
tons for the second year; fewer than 500
were rendering their third year of service
in the positions that they held; and only
700 had occupied their positions for more
than four years or more.
1t is fact then that, if the high school
system of the State be eliminated from
consideration, at least 800 of the teach
ers OF Louisiana change their positions
annually. This means that nine out of
ten village and rural teachers must
annually feather new nest; they must
adapt themself to a new environment;
they must become acquainted with a new
set OF school children and patrons; and,
at every turn they must meet new condi-
tons and must expend the time and
energy necessary to adapt themselves TO
these conditions.
The length of school term in our coun-
try schools is about seven months. The
new teacher will require a third of this
time to become acquainted with the COM
munity. This means that, SO far as his
efficiency as community builder is con-
cerned, third of it has been wasted by
shifting into new position. As we are
expending about $4,000, 600. 90 annually
on schools employing teachers whose
term of service is not more than three
years, it is reasonable to assume that over
81, 900, 900. 90 of public money is, in effect,
wasted so far as the upbuilding of the
community activities ls concerned.
The remedy for this evil condition lies
in legislation, which will entitle teachers
to increased pay for each additional year
of service. The wise superintendent are
not waiting for legislation in this direc-

Home for pural Teachers.

A permanent home, provided nv the
school community for rural-teac,ers, j.
giving great satisfaction where it is in
vogue. according to Harold W. Fogh' H.
bulletin just issued by the US. Bureau
of Education.
Vile out 5000 teachers replying to
Mr.. Foght's inquiries only 70 live in
HON provided by community, the hui
letin shows that teachers who have such
home find it possible to become perma-
nent community leaders. ''In the few
communities reporting permanent
homes" declares the bulletin, ''the
teachers are usually able to project the
school into the homes and draw the
home close tn the school. Where teach
ers' cottages are provided, these, aside
from making the teachers own lives
more attractive, naturally become rallying
centers for all community activities"
The investigation of Mr.. Foght reveals
that in rural United States the average
time for each public-school teacher to
remain in any one school is less than two
school years of 140 days each. 'This
average" says the bulletin, ''is very
much less for a majority of teachers, the
few permanent professional teachers
alone bringing it up to the two-year
level"
As the average age when teaching is
begun is 10 years, and the average num-
Der Of years taught is only 6 IL, the bull
lctin's statistics show that the rural pub
lie schools of the country are taught
larg y by young unmarried people who
have no idea of following teaching as a
prof, ssion.
The conclusions of Mr.. Foght are: $50
long as teachers continue to be peripa-
tetics, the best results in community
leadership in the rural schools cannot be
expected. A change from amateur to
professional teaching in the rural schools
would be fastened by giving the teachers
in the rural schools a salary that would
enable him to provide comfortably for
his family, and by compelling the COM
munity, through legal enactment, to erect
a teachers cottage in close proximity to
every school plant"
