Although there IS no prospect for
building new bridge across Severn

tract costs and other obstacles, there
will be at least some relief to auto

ing laid on the structure.
The bridge has long since been in
a dilapidated condition, and regarded
by many as unsafe. The flooring par
ticulaTly has been a rafting mess, and
many OF the planks are in such a
weakened condition, as TO make traffic
dangerous The boards OF the present
flooring are laid side 10 side, and prac-
tically all OF them have become loos-
eacd from the supporting beams.
Those OF the new flooring are being
laid end TO end. This will afford a
much smoother surface and better for
traffic in general. The work was

The bridge, and about half the dis
lance to the draw span has been COM
pleted Now the workmen are engag
ed on tho south side of the bridge.
II is expected the work will be en-
tirely completed within two weeks.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
FACE: SHORTAGES
Philander P. Claxton, Commits
sioner Of Education. Reports
Lack Trained Teachers

American public schools now open
/ for l92O-21, face conditions o. the ut
most seriousness" Philander r Clax-
ton. Commissioner OF Education, said
at Washington a few days ago. Among
the conditions he enumerated are:
Lack of accommodations for g.
100000 of the army of children
re-entering city schools.
Shortage of 10000 adequately
trained elementary school teach
ers," for both rural and city
schools.
Shortage of $4,000 adequately
prepared city and rural high
school teachers
Shortage of $4,000 schoolrooms,
which at present building prices
would cost $4,000, 100000 TO con-
s;ruct.
Tho fact that from one-thild TO
two-ffths" of American teachers
lack adequate preparations
1t will take a minimum of three or
four years to relieve the schoolroom
shortage, according TO Bureau Of Ed
uca ton officials This is due TO halt
ing Of building during the war, pres
ent cost of building and difficulty OF
floating school bond issues. Schools
will handle the room shortage by
crowding and "relaying" pupils, ac-
cording to Claxton, but a: cost in
efficiency in instruction impossible
to estimate"
"WOrk, Study, Play System"
Two remedies proposed by the Blu
reau OF Education to Offset the lack
of accommodations are the erection
of temporary or portable structures
and the adoption of the work, study,
play system"
The work. study. play system"
contemplates the division of the pu-
pills into two groups, one group using
the class-rooms while the other
plays, studies or performs laboratory
manual training or domestic science
work.
The nationwide adoption of this
plan would reduce the classroom
shortage TO one-half, Commissioner
Claxton stated-that is, from $4,000
to $4,000 But it would be necessary
to have enlarged school auditoriums,
Fairgrounds, laboratories. manual
training rooms and other facilities.
But the cost of the national school
building program, which amounts to
about $9,0OO,OOO 900, would then be
reduced approximately one-third."
The shortage of teachers will not
be relieved until America is willing
to pay three or four times the salary
they now receive" Claxton said.
According to estimate made during
the close of the last school year,
there were 100000 vacancies in the
teaching STATS in elementary schools
and from 10000 to $4,000 in high
schools.
