THURSTON SOUNDS CALL FOR ADDITIONAL
TEACHERS IN ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT
Asks That His Wartime Force Not Re Inter
fered with-Further Plans to Organize .
Vacation Institutions.

Strongly advising the establish
ment Of proper retirement law for
the teachers of the District schools.
and sounding a call for additional
teachers, Supt. Ernest L. Thurston.
Of the public schools, in his report
to the Board of Education on the
conditions surrounding the schools
during the year ending June 30, 1917.
demands particular attention be given
to the careful organization Of his
wartime teaching force.
On account of the shortage OF
teachers, declares the report, many
of the classes are too large for eff
fective work. Now and them" con-
unues Supt. Thurston, I'VE cannot
organize classes. for which there Is
a. demand, ESPECIALLY in the high
schools. We are struggling along
with teachers detailed to the high
schools at eighth grade salaries.
This lack Of teaching force exists
IN spite Of the fact that we have
beenN extending our high school day
from the five period daily program
to six period program, and that we
have increased the average daily as
sigpments to the Individual teacher"
echcuBe IN Atten0unces
5 Attention Is called to the fact that
there should be no war time interfer-
ence with or restrictions Of the work
Of our public schools except under the
greatest necessity. Far less than ever
before" says the report, "can we af-
ford TO have the supply of trained
men and women cut of, or seriously
reduced. as has been the case in past
wars, and In some countries in the
present war.
Particular attention is ITO be given
to the Americanization Of foreign
born population. Fundamental prin-
ciples Of democracy win be taught in
tie schools today ae never before. In
all schools emphasis win be laid on
instructions in thrift and the avoid
ance Of waste.
The war. in the opinion Of supt.
Thprston. however. should not deter
equipping and furnishing the build
ings with the necessary appliances.
Decreased attendance at the schools
ON account of the war II noted in the
report. Whether or not this with
drawal from the schools IL to be per-
mancnt or not, according to the re-
port. is not yet to be seen.

tied that intensive work could be

To Extend Playground Work
Third, the school garden instruc-
ton should be broadened.
Fourth. certain Of the manual
training centers adjacent to the sum
mer grade school unit VIII be open
for classes for definite practical in
struction in the use or tools.
Fifth, summer playground work
should be gradually extended.
II is advised by the superinten-
dent to meet the expenses for such
an extensive summer school or
ganization out of the public funds.
the amount required for
the operation of the summer schools
and school playgrQunds has been
raised by entertainments or sub
scription.
Regarding night schools. Thurs
ton points out that continued de-
velopment of the night school sys-
tenn is an absolute necessity. He
suggests that machine shops of
both the white and colored schools
be open every night in the week
with relays of teachers, IL neces-
sary. Some of the machine shops
should not only be open for winter
classes but for classes through the
summer, on certain nights.
A Weak System.
Regarding the salary situation Of
the teachers, Thurston says Of the
present scheme Of salaries: 1T needs
no argument to make clear the face
that the present organization of SAL
aries on the basis of the particular
srade taught is not a pedagogical one.
1t results in a promotion system
which Is fundamentally weak. 1t pre-
vents the retaining Of a teacher in a
grade of work where she is especially
efficient"
'T believe the teachers Of the re-
manning grades q to 81 should have
lIlc S<1i1e pdsfS sdidfys ifccuOih shOutN
thus be afforded for the poachment
of teachers at the beginning of their
work in any one of these grades and
for the retention of any teacher in
the grade for which she is especially
adapted"
Concerning the adjustment OF the
fraternities in the high schools. Supt
Thurston says: TT Is too early to de-
termine exactly what the effect of the
abolishment of the fraternities and
sororities really is.
Other important problems considered
in the report were the wages and
scarcity of clerical help: need for more
janitors and the inability to secure
such labor. which Thurston declares is
one of the most important problems
which the school authorities face, and
the changing Of the wage scale for
other assistants in the school depart
ments.

The Government Urges
the Elimination of
Waste

In war time IL is absolutely
necessary for the government 20
impose certain restrictions upon
the people for the good OF the
people II IL believed by some
practical men that the govern
ment may eventually have 10
dictate 10 the merchant the
method OF delivering goods. or
even demand that purchasers
carry small parcels home. Ger
tain II Is that a large number OF
men must sooner or later be re-
leased for military or other serv-
ice essential 10 the welfare ot the
country. Many OF the large
stores OF the country have al
ready started a campaign OF this
kind. and We propose TO start It
here In Tulsa.
II costs the store money to de-
liver your purchases. II takes
the time Of clerks and men OF
the delivery service. II is serv-
ice which this store is willing 10
render. but one which at this
time you should help TO relieve
them Of.
Carry home your small bun
dles-and large ones too when
you can-and by so doing YOU
will be rendering national
service and eliminate the waste
and extravaganza OF labor.
