bureau 1scsntly condnctsd a extensive ~
qpiry among the high schools q the cDuntsy.
ana more than ssvsn thousand high schools
have written Of their needs.
Those schools now employ s5,ss7 teachers.
and they viii require l7.175 new teachers n
the fall to provide for the normal increase 10
enrolment and to take the places Of those who
are lsaying the schools for other work Mr..
Neal considers that this proportion fairly rep
resents the general condition in high schools
throughout the country, and he estimates that
q total of 25,97S places must be filed before
the next school term begins
The visible supply of qualified candidates
does not even approach that number. Stimuli
schools. the bureau requested all the colleges
and universities Of the United States to report
the number Of persons who would graduate
this year, and also the number Of those grad
yates who expect to teach in the high schools.
Replies from 1923 institutions show that their
graduates will number 10.6So men and 1927
women, and that 1880 men and 4,742 women
will take up the work of high school teaching.
On this basis 1t Is estimated that only 1880
members Of this years graduating classes Of
all the higher institutions will accept positions
in the high schools. The difference, 1883
places, must be filled in ways that are not now
apparent, or that number Of classes will be
without proper instruction.
1t may be possible to induce other grad
yates to enter the work and some former
teachers who have withdrawn may return: but
this will mean that higher pay and improved
conditions otherwise must be offered. The only
alternative is to employ persons below the
standard prescribed by experience and general
practice.
How serious the situation is may be judged
by the fact that the threatened shortage is
twice as great as the number of teachers in all
Of New England. and greater than the number
Of such teachers in New York and Pennsyl-
vania combined.
Salaries must be raised and improved con-
ditions must be created, in order to hold rs
many A. possible Of the teachers now In the
service and to attract desirable recruits. All
this must be done, not for the benefit Of the
teachers, who are evidently able now to care
for themselves very well indeed, but for the
sake Of the children who are the sufferers when
good teachers leave the service.

opening of the Democratic convention the dele
gates forgot the antagonisms created by the
president and the other things which have de-
tracted from his personal popularity and
glimpsed him as the future will see him years

Presidential Campaign
Managers Respond to
Summons of Senate.

Washington May 23.- Campaign ex-
penditures and pledges made in behalf
of candidates for the Republican and
Democratic presidential nominations.
will be placed under the searchlight of
senate committee inquiry to begin at
once.
Heads OF the various campaign or
ganizations summoned by Chairman Ken
yon of the special investigating com
mttee over the weekend have answered
in sufficient number to guarantee a
large uuC.a of witnesses for the first
days examination.
As its first step. the committee plans
to inquire into the amount of money ex-
pended in each campaign. taking the
statement of the manager or leading pro-
moter as a preliminary. The kilograms
requesting attendance also asked that
each man bring with him records as to
all money contributed. the sources from
which it came and the places and meth
o.s in which it was spent.
In addition. the committee asked for
all correspondence relating to the solic-
itation and contribution of funds. Chair
man Kenyon has indicated that the
course of the inquiry would be deter
mined very largely upon the facts and
statements brought out by the prelim-
mary examination.
No refusal to the call TO appear has
been received by the committee and none
is expected.

HEARING
To DECIDE UPON
FREIGHT RAISE
Three State Officers to
Sit With Commerce
Commissioners.

Washington, May 23-Hearings look
ing toward revision of the freight rate
structure of the entire country to meet
the government guarantee of six per
cent return on the railway properties Of
the nation will be started at once
Representatives of practically every
transportation system. including the
public. will have an opportunity to pre-
sent their cases. Three state public
utilities commissioners will sit with the
commission while the question of what
rate increases are TO be granted is
threshed out.
Recommendation as to rate increases
which have been made to the commits
sion by the carriers and which form the
basis for the hearings, set forth that
in order to make an income of q per
cent. the earnings of all the roads must
be increased by $l.017, 100000. To pro-
vide this additional sum. the roads have
recommended that rates in the eastern
group be advanced 304 per cent to make
a 211 per cent additional income; the
south 300 per cent. for POI per cent
larger return; and in the western group.
239 per cent to yield all advance of II
per cent in revenue.
Means of arriving at the valuation of
the railroad properties are expected to
be the subject Of considerable argument
during the hearing. Carriers contend
that the & per cent return should be
based upon the property investment ac-
counts of the roads while shippers and
state commissioners have objected on
the ground that the book accounts are
not reliable.
