SAYS LACK OF TEACHERS
SERIOUS SCHOOL PROBLEM
Commissioner Claxton Asks Con-
gress for $500, 600 Additional
for Bureau Of Education.

American schools are facing a seri-
Gus problem because Of the lack Of
teachers, P. P. Claxton, commissioner
Of education, declared today In ask
ing Congress for 100000 additional
appropriations for conducting the
services of his bureau for the year
beginning July l.
Perhaps no other institution was
more affected by the war than were
the schools" he wrote, urging con-
tinuance Of the bureaus work in aid
ing the placement of teachers. AL
most one-third of all the American
teachers were drawn out of the
schools for service in the Army, Navy
and other branches of the govern
ment and in various commercial ac-
tivities and war industries.
"As a result there were last Octo-
Der approximately $4,000 schools
without teachers scattered through
out the entire country. There were
also about 10000 new and wholly
unframed teachers. largely boys and
girls barely ahead of the classes they
were expected to teach. Numberless
calls from all parts of the country
came to the bureau of education for
relief, and up to the present time
comparatively few Of the teachers
have returned to their regular work.
The fever Of activity and the higher
pay in other fields Of labor still COM
plicate the problem"
