URGE Government .
TO TRAIN TEACHERS

The eliminatiO OF illiterarcy from
the United States within ten years.
prov ided teachers are educated az
Government expense. was predicted by
Prof. William {. BagIey. Columbia
University. In an address In the au-
ditorium OF the District Building last
might
"llliteraCy presents a serious prob
lem, especially in the rural districts"
said Prof Bagley. The war showed
that 1O0.OOO men in the first draft
were iuiterate. OF these 100000 were
inducted into service. proving a han
dicap TO the military authorities.
The reason for illiteracy largely
lies in the inadequate training oe
teachers. There are $50 600 publiu
school teachers in the United states,
OF whom 10000 are less than twenty
one years of age.
There T. an annual need or $50. 600
new teachers, while the normal
schools are graduating only 10000
teachers year.
The minimum wage OF the begin
ming teacher should be at least 81 900
per annum.'
Prof. Bagley favored the passage OF
a bill before Congress providing for
the appointment OF q secretary Of
education.
The occasion was joint meeting OF
the High School and Grade TeacherP
Union.
