STATUS Of TEACHER
SHORTAGE

There is at this time reason to be-
Ieye that the cries Of an impending
SCHOOL crisis in the United States
through an acute shortage of teach
ers, have been exaggerated. The fall
opening of schools was attended with
a reasonably full quota of teachers
throughout the country except in the
more rural districts.
In many instances, as a matter OF
expediency, the school authorities
slackened on the standards of require
nents for those entering the profes-
sion Of teaching. Inexperienced teach
crs were more readily admitted and
the superannuated were continued in
greater numbers. The professional
standards, as a whole, have suffered
some. But. the conditions are far
from a calamity and q crisis. The
schools are running, and for all we
know, are doing well.
No dubt, the cry had its inception
IN the need for a better compensa-
uon for the teachers and an improve
ment in the conditions under which
they labored. With the increased cost
of living it was only reasonable that a
better income for the teaching pro-
fession be provided. In many in
stances this was due them even before
che abnormal economic conditions had
arT1ved.
The school boards of the country
met the situation and solved it to
the best OF their ability and in the
light Of the difficulties that beset
them.
Now then as to the future. VIII
the higher salaries stand in the face
OF decline in the cost of living con-
ditions? Will there be a tendency
10 lower them again? VIII the law
OF supply and demand, or a just ap-
precipitation Of the value Of the service
rendered, determine future salary
schedules?
II the pre-war salary schedules We're
too low then the postwar salaries
arc not too high. II the old sched-
rlcs were too meagre, then the time
10 correct them is here. A return
10 the old basis cannot be thought OF
now.
The larger compensation must stand,
but with It must also come the prom
se Of higher standards in the teach
ing profession and increased effl-
cheney in the service rendered.
The success of Americas system of
popular education must be sought in
the integrity and ability OF its teach
ing forces. These must be encouraged
20 render the greatest contribution
10 the prestige and stability OF the
great Republic Educational Journal.

GRAIN DOES NOT
NEED THE RAIN

Rain began falling early Sunday
night and the gauge at the local
observatory this morning at o'clock
registered .42 inch.
This is the first rain that has fal-
len in this locality for ten days, but
is not needed on grain at this time.
Indications are at present that lot
of cotton will be left in the fields
owing t6 the low price of the staple,
and the high cost OF picking.
Already many growers have turned
stock into. the fields to pasture what
has not already been gathered. Cot
ton acreage in this section will be
reduced according to estimates at
least 25 per cent another season, with
a corresponding increase in the acreage
OF corn and other feed stuffs.
The roads which were extremely
rough in most sections of the county
We're made very slippery by last
nights rain and incoming cars this
morning were all equipped with heavy
mud chains.

Statistical Notes

1t is estimated that the material
discarded in the timber industry in
the United States each year might
be made to provide 10000 tons Of
paper, 300 tons of resin, 600 900 gal
Ions Of turpentine.
Each year Americans use s32
900 worth Of buttons, including fresh
water pearl, ocean pearl, metal, vege-
table ivory, cloth, bone composition
celluloid and other specialties. The
bulk of them, however, are made
from mussel shells.
The tin fields of New South Wales
had yielded ore worth more than
$50 000, 900 10 the close Of last year,
which set a new record for produc-
ton.

1909 Acres Open for Camping PrfT-
iIeges.

How many know that the State of
Maryland owns about 900 acres Of
land which is open to the public for
full camping privileges. IN 1872 the
Legislature appropriated the Pataps-
co Reserve. This is near Baltimore
city on the border of Baltimore and
Howard counties. Since then the
trails have been CONSTRUCTED, frelines
laid cut aid ssme forest planting
has been done to protect the Fatapsco
river in places. Other improvements
have been planned and some 200 camp
sites are located for the use Of Yis-
itors. There IS good fishing, swim
mug, anu canoeing, and line sup-
ply of drinking water. The Board
are anxious that this be used for any
and all who wish real vacations and
is ready for free use by the people Of
this State.
The sites lie in two groups. Those
between Holl0field and Celia, and n
chester and Avalon Many good trails
reach the camp sites. The nearest
IL tafrcil county would be HoiloAeld
to Ellicott City, Howard county
side. Celia to Hollofield on Baltimore

beautiful views the trial leading

people have found the Patapsco much
