NEW YORK, Feb. IA few
years will see the country without
school and college teachers unless
salaries are increased"
This was the assertion of Miss
Helen Taft, acting president of Bryn
Mawr College, at recent address here
in behalf of the colleges endowment
fund campaign.
Miss Taft cited as indication of this
trend the fact that hundreds of schools
in New York and Maine have been
forced to- close for lack of teachers.
The teaching profession would be
hurt far less, Miss Taft believes, by
a strike of college professors in a
body for higher pay than by the con-
stantly increasing practice of profess
sors striking Individually by leaving
their profession to take up higher paid
work of some other kind.

will give concert at the Grand under
the direction of the Kelley music

series of such entertainments which
are put on the road by the Columbia

The number Of men placed in
jobs by the Illinois free employ
ment bureau ONCE in Rock Island
during last week was greater than
in any week previous during the
last three months. Notwithstand-
ing this, the Office has been able to
supply only small portions Of the
number called for. according to the
weekly report submitted today by
Superintendent F. W. Rinck.
The principal call to be met at
present is for skilled and unskilled
labor in the three cities. An influx
OF labor from other sections of the
country has been noted. It is not
believed that this movement OF la
Dor is due to any lack of work in
other sections. but comes rather in
a spirit Of desire for a change. In
farm labor the Office has been able
to meet the demand. A shortage Of
farm labor is not anticipated here
during this season. The good wages
offered on farms proves an induce
ment to men who have been con-
