when he jumped overheard to save the
life of n painter, who, while working
on the ships side. lost his balance and
fell into the water. The man struck
the wharf in falling and was rendered
unconscious. Rodriguez came to the
surface twice and had gone down for
the third time when Grice succeeded
in pulling him to the wharf where the
ships surgeon took charge of the half
drowned painter and resuscitated him.
Owing to the narrow space between
the vessel and the dock Grice accom-

risk and the secretary has commended
him.

A CALL FOR HELP.

The schools of this country are con-
fronting crisis, declare P. P. Clax-
ton, federal commissioner of education.
Fifty thousand teachers places are va
can't and 10000 persons are teach
ing this year who have never before
| taught a class. Several thousand
| schools have actually closed or have
| remained unopened because it was i'm
possible for the local trustees to find
teachers for them. The lowered stand
ards in many places and the total lack
| of instruction in others mean a loss to
the children of the nation which can
not be replaced. The shortage of
teachers affects nearly every state in
| the Union. 1t is impossible for some
| of the states to man their schools with
the teachers available IN their own
| borders.
| The commissioner of education has
organized a new division in his office
| to assist local officers in finding
teachers to meet this emergency. An
appeal has been issued to all who are
qualified and able to teach, urging
| them to signify their willingness to do
so by registering with the new school
| board service division Of the bureau of
education, in Washington. Regis
trants will be put in touch with schools
which are seeking teachers, with the
expectation of employment in the reg
ular way. No charge whatever will be
made. either to the registrants or to
the schools for the service.
In every community, 1t is pointed
out, there are women who formerly
taught. whose husbands are now in
the army or in other branches of the
government Service, or whose homes
do not demand all their time. Such
women are specially needed in the
schools now.
The shortage of teachers of chemis.
try and physics Is particularly acute
1t is pointed out that this shorta &c
might be met in many cases if physi.
clans. pharmacists and other profes-
sional men would take classes in near.
by schools for part of each day.
Manual training departments have
suffered at least as much as the scien.
tific branches, for they require men a:

high school work. Here, too. it is sue
gested by those in charge of the bu
reau of education's new division tina
the part time plan might well be ap
piled. There are many skilled me
chanics who have had high school ed
ucation who would make excellen
!, teachers if they would consent to assis
even temporarily in the work of tn,
, schools.
The commissioner of education call
upon all these classes of people to per
form public service which would b.
t not only important to the nation blu
, profitable to themselves as well. AL
) who are fitted for the work are urge,
: to heed the appeals of the.governmen
t officers and tender their services t,
, the local authorities and register witt
; the United States bureau of education
l Washington. The lack of teachers /
/ expected to continue until the return
of the soldiers and others called ava,
! from home by the demands of the wa
t and probably longer; it will certainl
= last during the remainder of the pres
Y ent school year.
