Mr. Keeler also had a word OF eau
ton to teachers as follows:
"To the teachers l would say this;
Don't sign contract unless you are
satisfied. But after you have signed
IL regard the paper absolutely bind
ing. Boards OF education are usually
very liberal in their releasing of the
teacher for good cause. In these crit
ical times, however, teachers should
not ask to be released for light causes
Teachers have a fine opportunity e
demonstrate that they regard con
tract as something more than a 'scraT
OF paper"
The state Is asking married women
and others who have been granted
life certificates for teaching to hold
themselves subject to call into the
service OF the schools
The departments representatives
are also scouting for teachers in theil

4 SHORTAGE or TEACHERS.
superintendent keeler Reports Sup.
ply 20 Per Cent Short.


Michigan is 10 face a shortage Of
teachers next year. Fred l.. Keller
state superintendent OF public instru2-
ton. believes that the shortage will be
at least 20 per cent Of the number Of
teachers engaged last year.
He bases his estimate on the fact
that graduating classes in normal col
leges are one-fifth short. There are
approximately $4,000 teachers in the
public schools OF the state, which
means an estimated shortage Of L.
150
Mr. Keeler is taking steps to over
come the threatened shortage, which
is attributed TO the war. Many
things indicate" he declares. there
will be & shortage of teachers for the
next year Il would suggest, there
fore. that the board of education OF
Michigan act early i'm the matter OF
hiring teachers.
There IL decided slump In the
size of the graduation classes from
our colleges and normal schools this
season. Many school teachers will be
drawn into work along other lines ~
better pay. Also, other states are al
ready Offering inducements 10 Michi-
gan 20 hold them. Many teachers are
planning to go into the service OF the
Red Cross and work OF like nature
Furthermore, the federal government

such positions pay salary whicf
ia about twice the salary paid the
average school teacher In Michigan
We find that the pay OF most teacher
is so low that with rising costs they
are being forced out OF the profession
The public schools should pay a.
