STEELTON
NEED CLOTHING
FOR CHILDREN
Women to Sew Until Enough
Garments Are Supplied
to the Needy

Announcement was made by Mrs.
7. A. Alder this morning that the
regular sewing circles of borough
women to make garments for needy
children will be resumed on Wednes-
day afternoon. The sewing will take
place at the home of Mrs. Alden,
Harrisburg and Pine streets.
There is a steady demand for
clothing, Associated Charities Off
GERS say. Garments for children are
needed more than for older persons
at the present time. Before clothing
took n jump in price, enough cloth
ing was donated to the charities
yearly to take care of needy persons.
Since residents have felt the steady
rise in the cost of living, it appears
residents are using clothing as long
as there is wear to it, consequently
making it necessary to provide wear
ing apparel.
Commenting on the support Steel
ton residents gave to the Associated
Charities on Christmas, Mrs. Alden
this morning said: II want to thank
the people of Steelton for their
whole-hearted support of our Christ
mas drive to spread cheer. Steelton
has responded in this work as she
never has done before. We held
Christmas festivities for siXty-five
children ard sent out eighteen bas-
kets to those who, because they were
not so prosperous as they might
have been, would not have had q
Christmas. All this was largely due
to the support residents gave the
Charities officers"

months instead of having TWO
months vacation without. pay.
DIR. Downes Speaks
DR.. +. E. Downes. of Harrisours'
in his address as president OF the
association, said the five points, OF
danger which have developed in the
teacher situation are insufficient
preparation, ineXperience, diminish,
ing supply, lowering of ethical
standards and inadequate remuner-
alton.
Speaking of the preparation OF
teachers DR.. Downes said:
Exact statistics are unavailable
but one is probably safe in the gen
eral assertion that at the present
time there is n larger percentage or
teachers in the public schools OF the
country who by common consent
might be regarded as unprepared
for their work than there has been
during any year for the past twenty
five years. From the office of the
secretary of the National Education
Association comes n report estimat-
ing that ten per cent. of the teach
ers accepted in order to fill recent
vacancies are below standard.
"While rural schools have been
the worst sufferers, the condition is
general. In our own State, super
intendents have admitted closing
their eyes in many instances to the
academic and professional prepara-
ton of candidates and to eXamina-
tion results. They have been obliged
to accept teachers frequently with
no normal or other special teacher
training and even with little or no
high school education.
