Don't Turn Back on
 Russia, Is Plea In
 Gompers' Statement
By Associated Press

New York, February 17-Samue1 Gompers, president American Fedora tion of Labor. appealed to the. Amer ican people mot to turn their backs on Russia because of opposition to pres- ent conditions there"
 First of all. Mir. Gompers said in statement to the American central committee for Russian relief, Russia needs the establishment of industries which supply the basic needs of her people"
 There is need for those of us who live where free institutions have been established to hold out helping hand to the people of Russia in their present plight; they are passing through ter rible ordeal" the statement read. This is not the time for free Americans to turn aside because we are opposed to what is transpiring in Russia.
 Remember. that the people of Rus sia in protest against a corrupt gov ernment destroyed Russa's imperial despotism. Remember the idealism that was in Russia. Remember the wonder fu1 democracy that developed out of the life of the peasants in the old time.
 "The tyranny and brutality of the old regime finds it's reflex and reac- tons in the counter-extremity of the present regime"

TEACHER CROP TO
Be SHORT IN ALL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. (By Interna
tional News Service Public high
schools will be short by $4,000 teachers
when the fall term opens. according to
estimates by-A. o. Neal, of the bureau
of education. The bureau recently con-
Quoted an extensive inquiry among more
than 1000 high schools in the country.
These schools now employ 65,S57
teachers and will require 1925 new
teachers in the fall to provide for the
normal increase in enrolment and to
take the places of those who are leav-
ing the schools for other work. Mr..
Neal considers that this proportion fair
ly represents the general condition in
high schools throughout the country,
and he estimates that q total of 25,-
97S places must be filled before the
next school term begins.
The visible supply at present does
not approach that number by far. A
canvass of colleges and universities to
ascertain what number OF graduates
those who will adopt this calling 1880
men and 4742 women will choose high
school teaching.
On this basis it is estimated only
1920 members of this years gradu-
ates from higher institutions will teach
in high schools. The difference, 1858
places, must be filled from sources
which are not now apparent. or that
number of classes will be without in
struction.
The threatened shortage is twice as
great as the total number of teachers
in New England and greater than the
number in New York and Pennsylvania
combined.
