BIG SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS.
War Demands Have Exceeded the
Available Supply-COnsOlidat
May Solve Problem.

The consolidation of rural schools
and the elimination of the smaller
and weaker ones-those with whom 5
to 10 pupils-is wartime remedy for
the teacher problem now being con-
sidered by educators of the state. It
may reach the Minnesota Public Safe
ty commission in the form of a re-
quest urging action that would compel
the proper transportation facilities
from the closed districts to those
wherein schools survive.
C. G Schulz, superintendent of pub
lie education in Minnesota, in Winona
last week, emphasized the teacher
scarcity at conference of 10 county
superintendent assembled there for a
wartime discussion. Young men, super
intends and principals, have gone
to war. Their places have been filled
by women. The war has speeded up
marriages which have taken young
women out of schools. Vacancies have
been created in banks and mercantile
establishments in the smaller towns
and villages and these have been filled
in many cases by women and men
from the schools. The teacher posi-
lions have suffered by reason Of the
higher comparative remuneration and
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-02-14

the natural desire of many to leave
the profession for other lines of work.
By next fall such great deflectlons
will have taken place that it will be
ute, ~ impossible to resume work in
all CT the schools. By that time then
it is argued, ,some sort of transporta-
ton scheme will have to be worked
out. The safety board may be asked
to aid financially and otherwise, for
it is commended by the heads of var
ious schools that it is equally as es-
sential to recruit for the teaching
staff of Minnesota as it is to draft for
the army.
Mr.. Schulz has been sounding the
state on this problem. From these con-
ferences this is expected to crystalize
a plan that will solve the question.
The normal schools have gone into
the field as aggressive advertisers for
the first time, and are urging women
and men to enter the schools. There
is an inducement now because of the
assurance of positions and the Incl
dental increase in pay.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-02-14

has had the liquor crowG guessing and
many drys were confident that their
petition for an. absolutely dry state
would be answered. Many, however,
do not think the commission has any
such authority and if any more ord
ers do follow they say they will be
more in the nature of limitations than
a complete wiping out of the liquor
traffic. The right of the commission
to set aside law has never been ques-
toned and there are those who say
that the commission is not anxious
for court test.
Wood for fuel purposes is coming
back to it's own in Minnesota and the
wood heater of the old days is now in
general use Oscar Arneson of the
state auditors office started the re-
vival when he suggested the use of
unmercantable state timber for f1el
purposes and as result of his
activities thousands of cords of dead
and down timber have been converted
into fire wood. In several northern
Minnesota towns the idea has caught
on to the extent that wood cutting and
splitting bees have been inaugurated.
Mr.. Arneson launched the scheme of
using dead and down state timber fol-
lowing the coal shortage and ever
since has been actively engaged in
pushing the idea.
State Auditor Preus returned this
week from an extended official visit
to Washington. His return, it was
expected, would see the filing of his
name for the Republican nomination
for congressman in the Fifth district,
but to date Mr.. Peus has remained
silent on the matter. That he will
file later for congressman, however, is
generally believed. To date the pos
sible claimants for Mr.. Preus' present
official position are confined to Oscar
Arneson, Auditor Mic Nelson of
Washington county, and Rep. Chas.
Warner of Aitkin county. C. A. Good
ing of Rochester, former state treas!
urer, has been mentioned in connec-
ton with the authorship, but it isl
said that he will have none of it. Mr..
Gooding may run for the state senate
from Olmstead county instead.
