SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS CRITICAL
Many Schools Maintained This Year With Great Difficulty Entering Classes at Normal Schools Forty Per Cent Less Than Usual Eastern Connecticut Committee Says Remedy Is Increased Salaries. A

Principals of high schools reported that a relatively small number in the present senior classes seriously con- template teaching as a profession.
 These conditions indicate that there will be closed schools because teach CTS cannot be obtained. That there will be great difficulty everywhere in securing teachers. That in the absence of competent teachers recourse will be had to those who are unfit and the standard of teaching and the effective ness of the schools will be seriously impafSed.
 The conditions are due. to the in creasing number of positions in other lines of work which are open to wo- men. This condition will be perman- ent although it is of course emphasiz- ed by demands due to the war. The inadequate salaries paid to the teachers as related to the increased cost of living ad to salaries in other occupations.
 The remedy for these conditions i:
 increased salaries. Teachers are leaving because other occupations pay better. High school students will not spend two years at a normal school 1T order to secure teaching positions al 1 $500 when they can make $500 to $70(
 without such training.
 It is not the purpose of this com mittee to suggest definitely the sala. ries that should be paid It feels en- tirely justified, however, in. urging up.
 on school superintendents and schoo
 officers the necessity of very ,substan
 tially increasing the salaries now of
 fered to teachers,

This commit tee have made a thorough investiga tion and have submitted their reporf' The committee calls attention to the fact that many schools have, been maintained this year with great diffi- culty through the lack of teachers due to the increasing number of positions in other lines of work which are open to women, and that the remedy is in' creased salaries.
 In their report the committee say:
 Many schools have been maintained this year with great difficulty. Some have been closed for longer or short CT periods for lack of teachers. Oth- CTS have been kept open by employing or retaining teachers who are incom- petent. Many teachers have left the profession during the year to accept places in business or the industries Superintendents in many towns re- port that teachers are studying type writing and stenography or otherwise | preparing themselves for business DO l sitions The entering classes at th' normal schools are forty per cent. les | than usual; indicating a serious dimin
