SCHOOL PERIL
IS PEOPLES PROBLEM
Representative Men and Women
Line Up With New Jersey
Teachers to Avert Disaster to
Educational System.

There is now a strong state commit
tee of prominent men and women ac-
lively aiding New Jerseys teachers in
their statewide effort to prevent the
growing teacher shortage from causing
disaster to the public schools.
In announcing the formation OF the
committee DIR. ]. ]. Hopkins, chairman
Iof the Executive Committee of the
School and Teacher Campaign, pointed
out that the public school system of
the United States, "the nationwide
factor in the making of real Ameri-
cans" is not only threatened by the
present lack Of a sufficient number OF
properly trained teachers, but is also
menaced by the shortage Of teachers
which will exist in the next two years.
"This danger must be met and re-
moved beyond the possibility of re-
fcurrence in the future" he said. 1T
is not a solution of it to say that the
pay of the teacher must be increased.

dee and who have adopted it as a pro-
fession. A proper solution calls for
such action as will make certain a suf-
Ificient supply of teachers in the future.
'"To obtain an increase of h pay
of teachers now in the profession may
be a teachers problem, but to obtain
an adequate supply Of teachers in the
future is a peoples problem, and must
be solved by them"
