$4,000 Teachers
Needed i'm u. S.,
Says DIR. Claxton
Government Commissioner
Of Education Issues Ap-
peal to Young Women
Especial Dispatch 10 The T,1b,ue


WASHINGTON, Sept 12 There are
1000 teaching positions in this coun-
try to-day for which there arc abso-
lutely no qualified teachers, according
to reports received by the Bureau of
Education at the opening of the school
year.
"Thc shortage means that many
places Will have to be filled with un-
qualified persons" said Dr. p. Y. Clax-
ton, Commissioner of Education, to-
day.
Young women, to-day. cannot better
snow their patriotism than by quail
lying to hold such positions.
Schools first felt the strain when
the first draft law went into effect.
Many of the teachers In high schools
were young men and few of them were
married.
Young women teachers began to
leave their places next. Thousands Of
them are here in Washington holding
government positions. Others took up
Ned Cross work, went into munitions
plants, and many took regular bust
ness Jobs to fill the places of men who
were drafted
Added to the shortage caused by the
diversion into other Tines is an in
needed The school registration Of
the country shows growth, and more
teachers than usual would have been
needed even if the war had not taken
so many of them into other lines of
work.
The shortage will be met" declared
Or. ClaXton, "by calling back into the
teaching profession women who have
had previous experience, and by grant
ing temporary certificates to women
who can pass perfunctory examina-
tions.
THE cities that have barred married
women from their teaching forces have
said they would make no discrimina-
tlon this fall. Even New York is going
to give married women chance to
teach school but only those married
women whose husbands are soldiers.
"A general increase in salaries
throughout the country is needed also.
One or two places have reported that
they have increased salaries so per
cent. And there are few counties and
districts that have not made at least
10 per cent raise. The average is
about Is per cent increase over the old
salaries"
