The school system OF the District
Of Columbia has suffered seriously In
tho, shortage Of teachers during the
last year. says the superintendent OF
schools. sErnest L Thurston, in, his
annual repert to the board OF ,educa-
ton issued today.
The development Of a serious sit
uation in the public schools of Wash
ington. chiefly. hinsing-- upon salasy
considerations, in which the teaching
force was greatly depleted. 80 much
SO as to endanger proper school
work. is explained by the superintend-
increases for teachers of all grades
and replacement of teachers in the
grade schools in higher salary classes
are urged by Mr.. Thurston.
In one section Of the report he
says:
"It has only been with the utmost
, difficulty and at the expense of, Sc
rious amount Of time and energy on
the part Of the general, adminfstra-
tive officers and the white board OF
examiners that it has been possible
to keep the schools running with any
Nationwide Shortage. :
An excerpt from the report follows:
During the last school year, there
has developed throughout the entire
country a serious shortage of trained
teachers. This shortage has Increased
not alone because. of the withdrawal
Of teachers to accept more remunera-
tive employment in other fields, but
also BECAUSE Of: a lessening in the
number Of those who are training for
the teaching profession,
Just at a time when. beyond. all
others, the school system Of the coun-
try should be kept at the highest
point Of efficiency and service they
fered before in modern times from q
lack Of the main vital force which
makes for their, fullest usefulness.
More Than 127 Resign in D. G.
'In the white schools Of the District
Of Columbia 1877 teachers have re-
signed (the report was made UP in
August and several have resigned
since It's compilation), and in addition
thereto fifty have Withdrawn on
leaves of absence because of war
In the colored schools the shortage
has been less serious, there being
seven designations and nine leaves on
account Of military service.
I'm addition to the loss of the edu-
cational force there have been serious
losses due to low salaries in the cler-
ical force. These have been SO gen
eral as to- place a very, large part of
our clerical work in inexperienced
hands.
Salaries far below the rates Of pay
for similar work outside have caused,
also, an exceedingly Jserious loss in
the force of janitors and laborers
One hundred and ,flfty-flve members
Of this force have entered the mill.

Low Salary Handicaps.

Attempts were made to secure
trained teachers from other localities
by means Of set examinations open
for all who were qualified. Hundreds
applied for examination, but relative
ly few Of these had proper quali-
fication or cared to take the test when
they learned how low a salary sched-
ule was in force. In fact, extreme
difficulty is certain to be experienced
in keeping up a proper teaching force
unless the salary level is materially
raised
Regarding the new scale Of salaries
the superintendent says, "I believe
that in general the scheme. Of sal
aries proposed in our revised esti-
mates. transmitted to tho Commits
sioners in March, is sound as to classi-
fication, except in the matter Of sal
aries for vocational and trade in
structors. I am strongly Of the. opin-
ion. however, that conditions are such
that the basic salaries must be placed
even higher than the increase shown.
II believe 1t win be necessary to
make the minimum salary paid to any
teacher $1,000 and the salaries Of the
various classes should be raised pro-
portionately. I believe that the mini
mum for the high schools. in view of
the college. degree requirement, should
be higher than at present. probably

Wildcats Stop Mining.

Three wildcats tied up operations at
the mines Of the Abel (Pa) Coal COM
pany and incidentally cut down the
production 200 tons.
The animals had been prowlin-
ahont the mines for week or more.
and on one morning. the heavy whit"
frost on the ground showed the min
ers that the cats had gone into the
mines.
There was no evidence OF their hay
ing come out, and the miners assem-.
bled at the entrance AMI sent SOME OF
the men to get guns.
On account of the unusual condi'
lions existing in the mines it was late
before the last cat was killed. No coal
was mined while the men were hunt
ing the cats.

MIXED SUGAR IN
ITALY A FAILURE

ROME, Feb. 14-Italy's supply Of
sugar mixed with saccharine has at
last been consumed, not because any
body liked the mixture, but because
Food Controller Crespi forced the
demand By Withdrawing ordinary
white or graduated sugar from the
market. Under directions of the con-
troller a large quantity of sugar was
mixed with saccharine in order to
effect sugar saving.
Notices were issued explaining this
fact, and also that saccharine was not
harmful, as had been supposed. After
trial the public pronounced the new
war sugar UNBEATABLE, and refused to
buy it. So it was kept in storage I'M
til recently when Crespi Withdrew all
other sugar from the market. In des-
peration the public bought saccharine
sugar. But it is not expected the sac
charine bitter sweet sugar experiment
will be repeated.
