SAYS TEACHERS SHOULD
BE POLITICALLY FREE
Supt. Jones Discusses Recent
Move in New York and
Illinois.

That teachers of the country should

in their struggle to Increase school
revenues. are forced TO go to one of the
treat political parties for aid, is the
consensus of opinion II school author
tiles here, In discussing Monday morn
ing the new move of teachers in those
states.
Supt. r. l. Jones. of the city schools.
long regarded as one of the leaders
in educational achievement in Tennes-
see, said that of all people in the coun-
try that should remain politically free
the teacher should come first.
Il consider 1t a regrettable condition
when the teachers OF n great state
like Illinois or New York, In their
struggle to increase school revenues,
are forced to go to one Of the great
political parties virtually stating that
whichever party offers the greatest in
ducement will SECURE their support"
stated Supt JoneB Monday.
1T Is to be hoped that the public
will look after the welfare of its schools
and not force the teachers to fight or
attempt to fight their own battles"
he continued. Instead of the profess
sion being scared at the shortage of
teachers, it Is the public that should
be alarmed; for school system exists
for the public and not for the teacher
and the public should realize that no
tcAcnef is CdDaDlo or rendering her
best service when her finances are
such that she can hardly exc out of ex-
istcncc.
Furthermore, she will not be In good
condition to instill lessons of patriotism
into her pupils If she is consciously
aware of the fact that her government
has little appreciation for the services
that she is rendering in building up the
citizenship of the community. Along
with the increased demand for IA more
adequate school fund on the part of the
teacher, comes an equally just demand
on the part of the public for the best
service for money already expended 1t
is absolutely safe to state that there
is not n competent teacher who is re-
ceivng anything like a salary COM
mensurate with her work, alQl there is
not an Incompetent teacher Who is not
receiving more than she Is WORTH
THE public cannot afford to have
n teaching force that is not strong in
character thorough in training and
thoroughly alive to the needs of So
