RETIRED TEACHERS URGED
TO RETURN TO SCHOOL

That laws or ordinances prohibit
ing married women from teaching
in the public schools be suspended
or repealed in order to afford a
supply of teachers to replace the
large number leaving the schools for
war work, is recommended by P. P.
Claxton, United States commissioner
of education, in letter sent to city.
state and county authorities.
Commissioner Claxton points out
that from every part Of the country
come reports of large numbers of
teachers leaving the schools to enter
some primary or secondary military
service of the country or to engage
in clerical, commercial, or industrial
occupations at salaries or wages much
larger than they received is tech
ers. On the other hand, reports
from the normal schools indicate
that the number of students gradual
ing from them this spring will be
less than last year.
In order that the teachers thus
returning to the service may be
thoroughly in touch with the de-
mands in education, DR.. Claxton sue-
gests that summer schools provide
special classes for these former
teachers and make special effort to
induce as many as possible of chem
to attend.
