ADVOCATES THE BEST
QUALIFIED TEACHERS
FOR PRIMARY GRADES

An important meeting of the Equal
Suffrage league of Richmond will take
place at suffrage headquarters, Fourth
and Franklin streets, this morning at
IL o'clock In the interest of plans
formulated by the special committee
appointed to consider citizenship edu-
cation. Members are urged TO be
prompt in attendance and to be. pre-
pared to vote on several serious ques-
tons concerning the general policy of
the league.
Harris Hart, state superintendent of
public instruction. addressing the
class in citizenship at the Y. w. c. A..
yesterday afternoon on "Our State
Educational Institutions" advocated
strongly the employment of the best
qualified teachers for the primary
grades in the elementary schools and
Tor the freshman classes In colleges.
ITO me-" said Mr.. Hart. ''the safe
and sane system of instruction for
teachers should be from the univer-
sity up to the first primary grade.
The high school student and the
higher classman in college is less in
need Of the highly trained, well
equipped teacher than is the primary
student in the elementary school and
universities and cenetrs Of learning
there is concentration of effort. but
some of the advantages of the ar
rangement of institutions OF learning
in Virginia are that, scattered through
the state, they furnish different CEN
ters of culture, that their influence is
more far-reaching and effects large
number of people. Also, in small stu
dent bodies, there is the intimate
touch with the faculty which does not
exist in the larger centers of learn
ing
Mr.. Hart explained in detail the four
classes OF public educational instjtu-
lions in the state and the general
functions of the boards which control
state institutions. He deplored the
shortage in the teaching ranks. which
he unhesitatingiy attributed to the
lack of even a reasonable wage for
skilled instruction. And, while he ex-
pressed himself as in favor OF CO.
education at all higher institutions of
learning, he greatly feared that unless
the state normal schools were put on
college basis many women would be
diverted from the teaching profession
by the attraction of university
course.
Miss Adele Clark, general chairman
OF citizenship education for the Equal
Suffrage league OF Richmond, was
chairman Of the meeting.
The Y. M. c. A. auditorium being
otherwise engaged for next Tuesday.
the class on that day will be held at
suffrage headquarters. Fourth and
Franklin streets.
