v. SIS. WORKERS TO Join
IN THIRD LIBERTY LOAN

War savings committees in every
state, county and city will assist in
the third liberty loan campaign, it be-
came known yesterday. They will
seek to carry on the sale of war saw
ings stamps and certificates simul-
taneously, and national leaders Of the
war savings movement believe that
stamp sales will be stimulated rather
than curtailed during the liberty loan
drive.
War savings receipts yesterday at the
Treasury were reported at s2,212,000.
For several weeks they have been at
the rate of about s1,750.000 day. Total
sales reported to date are s67,oO0,OO0.
Thrift stamps were offered as part
change to persons having dealings with
the recorder of deeds of the District yes
terday. and a number of persons took
portions of their change in the baby
bonds"
Deputy Recorder Dutton put the plan of
Offering at least a part of the change in
thrift stamps in operation yesterday for
the first time. 1t worked so well that the
plan is to be continued as long as the
stamps are sold.
Excellent results were reported last
night from the war savings booth at the
Treasury Department, notwithstanding
the fact that the week covered by the re-
port had only five days. Washington
birthday occurring Friday, on which day
the booth was closed For the period
from February 16 to 81, inclusive the
booth reported sales aggregating s29,901,
of which S2.305.09 We're sold to Treasury
employees, the remaining s27.595.91 being
disposed of to banks and various other
agencies.
The national war savings committee has
called attention to the fact that war saw
ngs stamps should not be used as bonuses
This statement is confined to their use
as bonuses or premiums for the purchasl
of merchandise. 1t does not apply to
bonuses to employees. There is no OBJ
lection whatever. says the communica-
ton, Ito using stamps as gifts where the

OTHER CITIES FACE SHORTAGE
OF TRAINED SCHOOL TEACHERS

Talks with superintendents Of public
schools in other cities have convinced
Ernest l.. Thurston. superintendent Of
schools here. that Washington Is not
alone in a shortage of trained teachers
Supt. Thurston said yesterday that
school superintendents of other cities
passing through Washington have Wis
tied him and have assured him that al
most identically the same situation
confronts the heads of the education
systems of other cities as that which
now exists here.
They are taking practically the same
steps we have taken to secure teachers
to keep the teaching staff up to stand
ard" said Mr.. Thurston. But they
found the same difficulty we nave
found. in that lowering of the en-
trance examination standards brought
about the inclusion of many individuals
entirely incompetent to handle the adj
ministrative end of a school teachers S
profession. No other city. as far as L
ished stated examinations to expedite
the work of examining teachers.
Take Entrance Examinations.
I'VE have found within the past two
months many former teachers from
other states, who, under the laws of
Congress regarding school. teachers in
the District have to take examinations
to enter the schools here. They some
times have not time to wait for
stated examination to come around, and
the abolition of stated examinations
and the introduction of informal ex-
aminations in individual cases has done
much to induce these teachers to come
here.
Naturally the teacher shortage is
markedly more acute in Washington than
in probably any other city in the country.
We have right here the executive and
legislative end of the entire governmental
system and this takes thousands of men
and women who might in other cities
gravitate into the school system. Not only
that, but in this time of war emergency,
with the government paying greatly en-
HANGED salaries to get employees in all

Living From Hand to Mouth.
That many teachers of the public schools
of this city are literally living from hand
to mouth was the statement of a grade
school teacher here yesterday.
"The only possible way to remedy the
existing situation is the raising of salaries
all along the line and keep the present
longevity allowances at the same time, "
she said. Il personally am acquainted
with many teachers who are doing no
more than making bare living. are sub
scribing to war savings stamps and lib
erty loans and are just able to get along.
Fancy q highly trained woman, a
graduate of normal school, forced to
enter the employ of private firm at a
salary of $500 q year in these times of
high prices. That is precisely what the
teacher who enters kindergarten classes
does, and. in addition to this, she must
be a pianist. Her chances for promotion
are good. but promotions come slow and
longevity increases do not amount to
much for the first few years. Naturally
when she hears of a position paying
double the money with less exacting
work she jumps at the opportunity. That
is the reason the schools are so short
of help. 1t is not the fault of the school
system. but of the existing scale of
salaries"
Three hundred and eight teachers in
the public schools of the District are
voluntarily helping the local draft eX-
emption boards in Washington in the

for this work, as it is expected of them
