FORESTRY STATE NORMAL

The Short Courses of eight weeks
length opened this week with very
good number, of entrants. Next week
a report Of this, years enrolment will
be presented and comparison made
with that of last year. a>-,z.
Miss Marie Kaher, who had charge
of the work in mathematics during the
last year and down to date this year
has been obliged to give up the work
on account of her health. Miss Adalyn
Sewers of Fort Morgan, Colorado, has
been secured to fill the position. Miss
Sewers holds a bachelors and mas
ter's degree and has had several years
experience in some very good institu-
tions. She will arrive to take charge
of her new work about January II.
Miss Jennie Mullian has left work
in the Normal School to take
seventh and eighth grade position at
Columbus. N. D., at $50 per month.
Miss Mullian was making a, very
promising beginning in her prepara-
tion for teaching and it is regrettable
that her training is thus broken into.
In many cities, it has of late become
mire and more difficult to keep high
school students at work because Of
the temptations to 60 out into teach
ing positions. The same thing, is true
even more extensively among normal
schools Of the entire United States.
A recent survey of the. schools of the
country reveals that over 100000 po-
sitions in the public schools today are
vacant, or filled by teachers who can
not pass the minimum tests for teach
ers' certificates. "Positions are being
filled by immature and unframed
teachers. It is estimated that the num-
ber of teachers below twenty-one
years of age has, during the last year,
increased not less than twenty-five
per cent? The Freshman classes of
colleges and universities are overflow
ing, whereas the enrolment of teach
er training institutions has decreased
over twenty percent since 1916"
Many North Dakota parents are dis
tracted over the fact that their child
rem cannot go to school because the
district is not able to secure teacher.
It is a serious matter for parents in
such communities. All these conditions
indicate clearly that the teacher of
training and experience will soon be
in such demand that salaries and con-
ditions of work will be made far more
nearly what they should be than has
been the case heretofore in America.
Those having automobiles they wish
tuned up by the Short Course students
should apply to Mr.. Cameron< Cars
will be accepted in the order of appli-
cation until the limit has been reached.
