As these schools represent 60 per cent of the
normal schools of the United States, the commits
sioner of education believes that there will bel
1000 fewer graduates in 1920 than in previous
years. Teacher-training departments in colleges
show approximately the same falling off, his re-
port says.
"Another significant fact is revealed says
A. O. Neal, of the bureaus division of rural edu-
cation, in commenting upon the situation. Since
1890 there has been continuous and increasing
withdrawal of men teachers from the profession.
The percentage of men teachers in 1890 was 81
per cent In 1910 it had fallen to % per cent, and
in 1913 to II per cent In other words, in 1890
one teacher in three was man; in 1910 one
teacher in five; and in 1918 one teacher in six
was man.
"The question of teachers salaries is vital in
this discussion, and a comparison of teachers
salaries from 1916 to 1918, the latest complete
statistics available, shows that in the two years.
from 1915 to 1918, the average teachers salary
advanced from $563 per year to $685. per year,
an increase of $72, or 13 per cent in the two
years. The total figures for 1918 show that the
average salary for elementary teachers in the
United States was $685. and the average salary
for high school teachers, 81 O31. The bureau is
now collecting salary schedules from various
states, giving the actual salaries received by in
dividual teachers in three counties in each state.
These show that the salaries of rural teachers
are far below this average in many states, and
that salaries as low as $3.50 to 5000 per annum
are found in many localities.
Another cause of teachers withdrawing from
the profession is found in the lack of provision
made for suitable homes in the community,
where the teachers may become part of the So
cial organization. This is particularly true in
rural districts, where in many communities they
are providing teachers homes in connection with
the schools

Teacher Shortage A National Problem

While Indiana is educating its people to the
menace of poor schools, imminent because of a
shortage of teachers, other states in the Union
are face to face with real crisis
Reports received by the bureau of education
prove that the shortage is still grave one. On
the basis of returns from state school officers,
the commissioner of education found that 1929
schools were closed because of lack of teachers
ard that 41,90O schools were being taught by
teachers rated below standard but accepted to
meet the emergency.
Replies to his office showed that in 18 states
pupils transferred from closed schools to
others, in three states no provisions were made
for their schooling, and two states reported that
the children would lose the grade.
A revival of interest by Taxpayers in obtain
ing better pay for teachers is noted in ID states
and number of commonwealths believe that
public opinion has been thoroughly aroused on
this topic.
A marked decrease in the number of young
men and women preparing to enter the teaching
profession is reported from 100 state, county,
city and private normal schools More than
1000 fewer students were enrolled in these
courses last November than in previous years.

What's S in a Name
(CopyrighD
NATALIE

Natalie is another holy name, COM
ing from the Latin title of "Dies Nat
aEis", the birthday Of our Lord. The
word Natalie has furnished the title
of the feast to all the Romance por-
ton of Europe.
France made the word Noel from 1t,
meaning Christmas, and soon Noel be-
came a Christian name there. In
Italy 1T appeared as Natalie. Spain
and Portugal used the name Natal
There is a feast celebrated on the
Sth of September by the Greek church
as the festival of st. Natalia, the de-
voted wife who attended her husband,
st. Adrian, in his martyrdom. He is
the same Adrian whose relics filled
the Netherlands and whose name be-
came celebrated in the west where his
wife, Natalia. was long neglected.
The east, however, reversed the ar
rangement and Natalia is popular
there. while her husband is forgotten
Natalia was one of the favored
Greek Christian names. Russia adopt
ed her and, adding the usual conson-
ants of it's language, calls her Natali-
ia, Nataschenka, and Nata scha The
first Of the tree names is extremely
popular there today, or was until the
Bolsheviki came into power and with,
drew the attention of etymologists
from the study of feminine names.
France is said to have secured Nat
allie from Russia, though there is re
cord of a Natalie at Cambria in 1912
England preferred Natalie to any OF
the other forms, rejecting Natalia as
too Latin in it's Influence. Whether
American Natalies are representative
of the English, or taken direct from
France is a matter of personal pre-
ference.

next twelve months, to the traffic of
the year ending October 81, 1919. In
other words, they have made full al
lowance for all increased expenses, but
have made no allowance whatsoever
for increased business. Tho same me-
thod was adopted by the railways in
1917. In the year following, the rail-
roads earned $95,00O,O00 more than
they had prophesied they would earn.
Making the computation upon these
basic principles, Mr.. Thorne showed
that an increase in the railroads total
revenues of 1885 per cent (instead of
1915 per cent as estimated by the car
riers) will enable the railroads of the
United States to earn six per cent of
the value of their properties, arrived
at by capitalizing the standard return
at the six per cent and adding the in
creases to property subsequently
made. If the entire increase is con-
fined to freight traffic, the advance
should be eighteen per cent (instead
of 27.85 as proposed by the carriers. J
Thus the railroads have exaggerated
the per centage necessary. Applying
their percentage to the earnings of
the ensuing year, would produce ap-
proximately $3.50, 900 more than
required, or more than 81 ,000, 900, 900 a
day.
