TEACHER. SHORTAGE
PARTLY OVERCOME
School Officials Now See Way
Clear to Getting Through
the Year.
FEWER REsIGNING PLACES

| With the names Of ten new eligibles
on the teaching list Of the public
schools, as announced yesterday at
| the meeting of the board OF education
| in the Franklin School. officials of the
| schools believe that the shortage OF
teachers has been partly overcome
for the time being.
| These eligibles passed a competitive
examination for teachers held March
27 and 20 and were Immediately
| placed on the list. With the addition
of teachers secured through the
graduation at the Wilson Normal
School OF women fitted as teachers
every two months. the schools will be
carried to the end Of the present
school year without serious shortage
Of trained instructors.
Hope for Better Pay.
School ofacials believe that the re-
cent decrease in the number Of resig-
nations is due to the fact that teachers
| expect the $1,000 minimum salary
| scale to pass Congress soon.
| Announcement was made at the
meeting of the board that the Gait
prize in commercial geography has
! been transferred from Armstrong
High School to Dunbar High School.
| This is done because the business de-
partment Of the colored high schools
has been transferred to the Dunbar
| high School.
The application Of the Washington
| Fine Arts Society to use Central High
l CxI HSnSA he
next school year was approved, sub
ject to definite dates to be approved
| by the superintendent of schools.

partment Of the Potomac. g. A. r., to
