Short Supply of Teachers

As the time approaches for the opening of schools for another session, the need of more teachers becomes acutely felt by school boards.
 County superintendents under the law are charged with the duty of nominating all teachers in rural schools and in towns of less than 2000 inhabitants In order to be assured of reasonable success in any school system, train d and efficient teachers are the chief requisite. County sllperintendents realize this. Thy are beseeching the normal schools of Ala Dama to send them more teachers. There is almost no other source of supply. Col lege graduates and university graduates, even the few who teach, rarely accept places in country or village schools.
 For the last three years the normal schools located at Florence, Jacksonville, Livingston and Troy have accepted none but teachers. These institutions have be- come the most important factor in promot- ing the common schools of the common masses.
 Instead of turning out 300 graduates annually, they ought to be enlarged and required to furnish 1000 graduates each year.

lanta's childhood for yeers have awak- ened to the fact that there are other fields of. endeayor in which they may be successful, and incidentally make living wage. and they are giving up the work of teaching for the more lucrative business of office work. Many of the teachers have taken up govern ment work in Atlanta and elsewhere.
 Atlanta probably pays her teachers less for their services than any city of her size in the country. During the re- cent educational controversy, one of the members of the board of education was quoted as having said that The hired his teachers like he bought coal the cheaper the better" He admitted the accusation, declaring that most teachers were only teaching until they could get an opportunity to marry.
 Evidently the Atlanta teachers are not that kind. They have found that they do not need to teach, and they aren't going to. In fact, if the board of education doesn't come across and do something, it is probable that when grades in many schools without teach CTS
 For the first time in years, Atlanta has had to go to work "dopeless' dur ing the past week. And she hasn't liked it a bit However, whether she liked it or didn't like it, made no difference to the food administration And for several days not soft drink of any kind was sold in Atlanta.
 The "dopeless'' condition was due to the "iceless' situation in Atlanta. Thursday, however the ban of the food administration was lifted, and all founts were allowed to run full force, and all householders to get their nor nal quota@of ice. Due to the extremely cool weather during the past week, iti was possible to catch up on the suply of ice, and Atlanta has just about over-f come the worst, .ice famine she has known in years

Governor Henderson believes this will prove a valuable experience to them dur ing the reconstruction period and give they will continually build in the max ing of their life records.''
 This work is not compulsory, the gov ernor says. However, it is one of the most important of all the branches of the service at this time. The calling ot large quotas of young men between the ages of 21 and S1 has almost depleted the man power of the country. so far as the farmers are concerned Serious results face the country, it is declared, unless the young school boys come to the as- sistance of the farmers in this crisis.
 Arrangements for the boys to receive due credit in their school work during the time they are on the farms have been made, and Alabama teachers have been asked to be of every possible assistance, to get large enrolment for this work. The week. designated by the governor, will be known as United States Boys Working Reserve Week."

 GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION
 The governors proclamation, addressed to the people of Alabama, follows:
 As the man power of the state is taken to build up and strengthen the military branch of our government and as the de- mands for labor in the essential indus tries increase, there will De a correspond ing decrease in the available supply of la Dor in the agricultural pursuits. It be- comes daily more and more apparent that we must look toward other sources tor labor than to the heretofore idle class or to immigration to supply our needs, and which we have that it may become more efficient and thereby will more nearly ac- eomplish what has heretofore been done by full complement on the farms. We must see that our farms are kept running at full speed, because if these fail the whole strength of the government is broken.
 We have wonderful source of energy in QUO boys of 16 to 21 years of age. These boys are patriotic to the core and in. tensely loyal. They want to do some thing tangible toward helping their gov- ernment and we should utilize their cn : ergies and direct them along the channel of the greatest utility. With this ip view, the United States Boys Working Reserve is being organized and enronen for service. This reserve will be mainly in aiding agriculture during the harvest season, but many of them will devote their time to this cause during the grow ing season, as heretofore.
 We cannot afford to neglect the educa- tion of the boys, and it is purposed to in- troddce system that will intensity to a certain extent the work of the schoo.-

until about Thursday morning. prob
ably, and after that the plaintiff will
have testimony in rebuttal which
will occupy the rest of that day, 1t
is expected, and perhaps run into
Friday forenoon. The arguments to
the jury of the lawyers will take all
day Friday, without doubt, as the
case is largely composed of techni-
calities of getting sand out of pit
commercially and economically with
cycloidal pumps and otherwise. Then
comes the charge of Judge Wade be-
fore the case goes to the jury.
BY the time the verdict Is rem
dered, it is expected that it will be
some time Saturday.
