Tor the sum promised the baron was

promote the divorce suit until it was

from Africa and at once resumed
his old relations with his inamorata.
The Kaiser, finding that there

Princeton's Experience

A statement which shows the tangi-
bic difference in pay outside and in
side the college is made by President
John Grier Hibben of Princeton.
Before the United States entered
the war our economics department
had nine professors, assistant pro-
tessors and instructors. Seven left
the university for war work. Five
of the seven have now RESIGNED. be-
cause the outside world is happv to
pay them salaries somewhat COM
mensurate with their abilities.
"One, who was getting s1,40O a
year at Princeton, now receives S.
900 salary and $1,000 for expenses.
Another, who received So, 900 here, is
now drawing $4,000 year exclusive
OF bonuses, from a big banking
house"
President Hibben says that the
average salary Of all public school
teachers in the United States is es-
tlmated to be less than 5000. and
that in 1915 the average salary of
school teachers in twelve states was
below $4OO.
Mrs Caroline Mccormick Slade,
chief of the Y. M. C. A. women

The story was recently spread
throughout the country that carmen

aries paid assistant instructors and
some instructors at Harvard Univer-
sity. In a salary roll of 81 100000,
two-thirds Of which is paid to the
faculty of arts and science, some in
structors received less than $1,000
a year, while some assistants re-
ceive as low as $500.
In speech at a dinner given here

Miss Helen Taft said that the
board at Bryn Mawr had had to

whether they could increase the

There is the rather dramatic story
of DR.. Virgil Prettyman, for twenty
five years headmaster of the Horace
Mann School at Columbia Univer-

recently his intention Of starting

Many Of the boys who have gone
to school under DR.. Prettyman are

have achieved the degree
OF notoriety which developed around
the marital relationship of Prince
Joachim Albrecht of Prussia and
the Baroness Liebenberg. The story
of this most piquant of Hohenzol-
lern family scandals is revived bv
the death of the baroness, reported
by the Berlin correspondent of "The
London Daily Telegraph"
The Baroness Liebenberg-thus
the story runs-was the daughter
of Jewish official in the Ministry
of Education at Vienna. Fraulein
Sulzer-for that had been her real
name-became an actress and for
some years was familiar figure on
the Berlin boards. Here she made
the acquaintance of Prince Joachim

The men in the teaching profess

," HE public school system of
America is close to the
rocks. Educators and
laymen of national prom
inence as we'll as national and state
officials are agreed that unless
steps are taken at once to counter
act present conditions, the public
school, the boast of American insti-
tutions, will suffer a grave setback.
The exodus of teachers from the
school buildings has become a
steady march. AS result thou
sands of school buildings through
out the country are vacant at
time when they should be filled
with pupils. More than 145,000
teachers resigned last year alone,
Secretary Lane says.
This exodus from the teaching
profession has been going on for
several years. Thousands of one
time teachers had left their grooves
and sought new fields before there
was an awakening to the situation.
Even after a realization Of what
was happening was brought home,
there seemed no way to stem the
tide away from the schoolroom.
War work was given as the cause
for the teacher shortage when it
was first noticed. Many schools
wee closed with good grace to let
the teachers take jobs in Washing
ton or other centers where war
workers were needed. Teacher was
doing her patriotic duty and the
school was patriotic in giving her
up to Uncle Sam.
But after the war was over and
the war work all done teacher did
not come back. What had hap
pened to her is a story as varied
as the jobs outside the schoolroom
which the teachers took.

of what is happening all over the
country"
Thus the teaching profession is
dying at the source. Young girls
are not going in for pedagogy, and,
for that matter, neither are the
young men. The older ones, 40
have been in the teaching service
for years, and who have clung to
their chosen walk of life through
years of simple living, are now fac
ing the impossible.

President Nelson pointed out that
at Smith alone the enrolment in
courses for prospective teachers has
dwindled to about one-sixth of
what it was a few years ago. The
Smith undergraduates are not going
into the teaching profession. "That, :"

Country First To Suffer

The first of the teaching pro-
fession to disappear were those in
the country schools. These were
the young women who usually
stayed in one job for not more than
two or three years. The positions
were little to be desired and the
qualifications for them were low.
In the secondary schools a num-
ber of the girls who could not af-
ford to stay in school and whose
talents for education we're not
marked enough for benefactors to
come to their aid with scholarships
usually got jobs as country school
teachers.
Country schools have school
year of from four to seven months.
Teachers in these rural districts
were required to go to "institute"
for several weeks to get a county
certificate before teaching. They
received, only year or two ago, a
monthly salary of from $40 to $50
month
1t was not the most intelligent or
the high grade girls who usually
went in for country school teach
ing, and small wonder. 1t was not a
stepping stone to anything, except,
perhaps, to marriage with some
farmer in the district.
The work involved was a hetero-
geneous job. There might be only
ten pupils in the school, and these
of such different ages that eight
grades would be taught. The short
year, poor pay, hardships of country
life ard monotony of the work made
1t. unattractive. Country school
teachers began to disappear before
the war, but instances were so scat
tered that no one noticed when thew
began to go.

The teachers themselves have

in the struggle to bring the public,

are persons who believe in teaching
and who like to teach.

to every educator III the country to-

women on small salaries are con-

place money at the disposal of COL

public.

students.
81 am not sure that America be-
lieves in education. Anything this
country believes in it is willing to

In connection with DR.. Pretty
mans statement comes the an
nouncement that West Virginia's
representatives at the meeting in
New York of the Commissioners of
Education for nine states last week
reported that 400 schools had not
opened this year and that the nor
mai schools were training only one
fifth the teachers needed. Commits
sioner Kendall, of New Jersey, cor
roborated the statements of ex-Gov-
ernor Runyon, who said that state
records showed that the state faced
the possibility of a "demoralized

Alabama's annual report reveals
u at 500 schools for whites and as
many for negroes could not open in
1919 for lack of teachers. One
Pennsylvania county, it is reported,
has tifty-three schools with no teach
ers. The Federal Bureau of Educa-
ton has estimated the shortage of
teachers at $4,000. Secretary Lane
IS quoted as saying that 145, 900
teachers resigned last year.

Red Schoolhouse Doomed

The reasons for these figures,
which vary in different parts of
the country, but show universal
teacher shortage, is, according to
DR.. Prettyman, the poor pay.
At the rate at which teachers are
leaving the profession there simply
aren't going to be any more. The

teacher who ever made any money
was the Texas schoolmaster who
found oil gushing up in his back
yard. The lack Of riches in itself
is nothing to weep over. however,
as teachers do not expect riches and
are usually happy without them.
Manyof them feel that they have had
a certain amount of the better things
of life, and have had a fair amount
of time at their own disposal. These
have been compensations for the en-
forced simplicity Of their lives.
"These things, however, says
President Nelson, "were only pos
sible so. long as they could he had
honorably and without the constant
risk of death. Now, with what hap
pcned within these last years, and
still more within these last months,
that is no longer possible.
"For the doing of their work in
the right spirit and for the spend
ing of their leisure to any purpose
it is essential that they have a mind
free from the major worries-from
such a worry, for example, as seeing
absolutely no provision for their
family if they should die, and such
a worry as seeing their savings and
their life insurance being eaten away
to meet the monthly bills, or from
such a worry as seeing that without
a change in the situation within a
few years they will be reducing their
salaries by paying interest on a
funded debt. This is not imaginary.
1t is the real situation. And the
real plea for teachers salaries is
entirely different from what it has
been before, because they are now
doing business at loss. The ends
cannot be made to meet.
