In closing our letter this week we want
o say that as the school code Is being
evised, there are a few suggestions
bout the shortage Of teachers which
hould be studied by the general public
cry carefully.
What's wrong with teachings 500 out
( a 1000 give low salaries. This is un-
uestionably one big reason, but 1t was
he unanimous opinion Of many school
-iends that salary alone will not bring
recruits or change teachings reputa-
alton unless the other objections are re-
loved. Salaries are being increased
ally grade salaries of 500 to $500 are
established facts, wide publicity is fur
ished by newspapers, educational mag
zines. national magazines, such as the
utlook, Saturday Evening Post, Liter
ry Digest, which Is now giving one top
a week IN it's weekly moving picture
I'm to teachers salaries; these and other
Drces are rapidly removing the objec-
on Of low salaries, yet we see no rush
ward teacher training schools or
screase in designations.
Then, what are the other objections? /
rvants; insurmountable fences and too
uch leveling make the best no better
ian the worst; committees are too
,kle in their support and treat teach
s like servants in general; social recog-
tion denied teachers; too seldom are
rls appealed to by pictures Of the soft
ling and mellowing benefits from teach
g; supervision "supervises," chills, re-
riots. and discourages by driving in
cad Of helping; teachers are Ignored In
aking school policies; Academic degrees,
''pedigrees" and hide
und traditions are unduly worshipped
those who run teacher training
hools; uncertainty OF tenure frightens
any; over certainty Of tenure even Of
e incompetent, Injuries the professional
anding; and lack Of suitable living
for same.
rhsse stunning reasons are necessar-
a part and parcel OF the profession, /
little more free and frank discussion
our local. state, and national meet
IS, instead Of formal 30, 40, so min
speeches; courses In teachers train
schools taking up these features and
W to overcome them! concerted ac-
n by educational leaders; commence
mt exercises on the opportunities Of
ching; better methods Of school pub
ty. are just a few suggestions Of re-
wing the objections to teaching.
The big problem, however, Is that the -
ool crisis is not In the future, but II -
here today, and unless effort is direct
at the objections other than salaries
ny more Of our schools will be teacher
