more in other jobs.
The attempt to fill a single post

Principals Accused
OF Nagging Teachers

The Department Of Education is now
making a vigorous effort to find the
exact causes Of the designations, and
has sent questionnaire to all teach
ers who have left their places in the
last year. The work of tabulating
the replies to the questions has barely
begun. But the general trend Of the
replies is already clear.
First comes the salary question. The
replies are practically unanimous in
naming this, and even when the actual
cause of resignation was something
else--marriage, for instance-the sal
airy is still named as contributory
reason.
The next most important complaint is
that of supervision.' A considerable
number Of the teachers say the prin-
cipals and supervisors are unsympa-
thetic, nagging and destroy initiative
Third is the condition Of the school
buildings, their uncleanliness, lack of
ventilation and of rest rooms. Other
complaints are of too large classes, Of
overwork, of failure to recognize
ability and of special services, lack of
pay for extra work, etc.
Of men and women who have resigned
will give better idea of the financial
pressure that is being put upon the
school teachers than any amount Of
statistics. The names cannot be given,
of course, but the cases are all authcn-

The Health Commissioner said that
the data collected by the> Health De-
number of cases this year about the
same as in the 1918 epidemic, showed
that the death rate from the present
visitation is less than half that in 1918.
To date there have been 2,215 deaths
credited to the flu" as against 1929
for an equal period in 1918.
Dr. Copeland compared the death
rate Of New York with that of Chicago,
Kansas City and Washington, where
and said that the local rate Of nine teen
a thousand was considerably lower than
IN the other cities In Chicago the
rate was twenty-three, Washington
showed twentyfour and in Kansas
City, where the peak is still to be
reached, the rate is thirty seven.
Apparently the advice of the Health
Department regarding going to bed
and taking care of the early symptoms
has been fruitful of results" DR.. Cope
land said. Furthermore, in 1918, half
of our physicians were in the army and
this year medical attention has been
more promptly rendered. The concen-
tration in the Health Department of all
volunteer forces has made it possible
to prevent overlapping of effort and
has resulted in a coordination of activ-
ity. All in all, the city has gone
through the epidemic in excellent con-
dition."

993 Have Quit City Schools
in the Last Five Months;
Thousands of Children
Are Without Instructors
System Is Deteriorating
Complaint Also Made Princi-
pals and Supervisors Nag
and Destroy Initiative

The designations OF teachers from
the New York elementary schools has
increased PAL per cent and 449 per
cent in the high schools in the last five
years, and this flood of designations is
directly traceable to the low salaries
paid. 1t is these designations that are
causing steady deterioration in the
school system, leaving thousands Of
children daily without teachers and
alarming educators and public men the
country over.
The designations are coming in faster
day by day. During the whole of 1919
there were exactly 1000 designations
from the schools. But in the last five
months, from September / to February
S, there were 993. In the high schools,
where most Of the men teachers are,
the designations among men are actual
ly more numerous than among women,
though there ere nearly four times as
many women as men teachers. So the
underpayment is striking hardest with
those who have families to support,
those who cannot devote their lives to
a penurious public service. no matter
how high their ideals and patriotism
may be.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-14
"Inadequate Salary"
Say More Who Quit

There is not one in a hundred Of
those who resign who does not men
ton the salary. "lnadequate salary
"unable to live on my pay" "the pay
rot half enough chad to do outside
work to get enough to live'~such eH-
pressions as these occur over and over
again in the statements of causes of
designations in the hands of the Board
of Education.
There are other causes of resigna-
ton as we'll, the most frequent being
marriage, with complaints of the SUI
pervision, of the condition of the
school buildings and Of overwork. But
these conditions are not new in the
schools, and the great recent increase
in designations cannot be charged to
them. The one thing that has changed
has been the purchasing power of the
salaries, the "pull" which the pay can
exert against the bids from the COM
mercia world, and it is this that has
caused teachers to get out of service
faster than new ones can be drawn in.
During 1919 the designations were
distributed fairly evenly through the
schools in proportion to the humber
of teachers, except for the extra heavy
resignation of men in the higher po-
stions. The numbers that LETT were:
and principals, 18; special teachers,
81; high schools, 121; training schools,
8; vocational and trade schools, 10

SCHOOL AID FUND QUOTA IS SECURED OVER S8,OOO PER YEAR Is Pledged for Three Years by Conway Citizens for Maintenance of
 Public School.

Five hundred and thirty-seven sub scrlptlons, aggregating 24,242.50 dur ing period of three years, equivalent to $8,080.83 per year, were made to the Conway public school maintenance fund Tn the campaign recently conduct ed under the auspices of the Conway Commercial Club. As is shown by the number of subscriptions, it was un- doubtedly the most popular campaign ever conducted in Conway. Fog thet with an increase of about $6,0O0 in revenues from taxation, secured through raises in the assessment of 1919, the public subscription will prac- tically double the income of the school and make it possible to handle with much greater efficiency the rapidly in- creasing enrolment
 A final tabulation of the subscrip- tion, together with the signed cards. was delivered to Secretary w. B. Clay ton of the school board by the cam palgn committee yesterday afternoon. i This tabulation showed total of $23,- I11.5O, or an average of $7,92583 per year, lacking about $75 per year of reaching the goal of $8,000 set by the ! Commercial Club. Mr. Clayton and members of the committee got busy and secured enough additional sub scrlptlons to go over the top with a nice margin to spare
 One of the subscriptions was gift of $50, to be paid all in cash, from the treasury of the local carpenters union. This subscription was made conditional upon union labor being employed in the building to be done by the board, but Secretary Clayton said he thought there was little doubt of thls condition being met, as almost all the carpenters in Conway are union men.
 Other subscriptions which were made in addition to the amounts pre- Viously subscribed by the same citi- zens, were as follows: Annually for three years: Jo Frauenthal. $25; Mrs. Jo Frauenthal, $25; Frank Farris, $25: W. W. Moore, $25 Cash: w. NJ. Bra dy, S15
 A few subscriptions which were made between the close of the cam paign and the filing of the result with the school board have not been acknowledged through the Log Cabin Democrat. On account of the sub- scrlption cards being put together and arranged alphabetically it was not possible today to locate these subscrip- tlons without great deal of tedious work. They have all been delivered to the school board, however, and if attention is called, the Log Cabin Democrat will be glad to publish the names and amounts of any subscrip- tions which have not yet appeared in this paper.
 ] The final work was done on the campaign early today, in order that the school board could make good showing as to its income when the bonds of the district were offered for sale later in the day.
