professional study and otherwise to
lead the type of life which makes
them the kind of men and women that
can be most helpful to my boys and
girls? Would l want by son and
daughter to go into teaching? Is the
recognition given to teachers, in
terms of salary. in my city sufficient
to attract the ablest of the young
men and women in our community?
The replies to these inquiries, in view
of the findings. must all be in the
negative, says DR.. Strayer.
In 1894 one-half of the man ele-
mentary teachers in cities with
population of from 5000 to 10000 the
report shows, received less than $946.
In 1890 one-half of the same group
were receiving less than s1,262. an
advance of 1915 or 33 per cent. Mean
while. it was stated. the cost of liv-
ing had advanced 104 per cent
Other Teachers Salaries.
American cities paid high school
principals an average of $4,000 last
year, while elementary school princi-
pals received an average salary of
S1.S39. Many of the salaries paid in
these positions. requiring the manage
ment of complex organizations and
skillful leadership the report points
out. ARE not enough to secure
competent secretary. let alone to be
considered adequate pay for the prin-
cipal."
A summary of the. survey issued by
the committee says:
The survey also discloses that the
salaries of artisans and laborers
throughout the country are much
higher on the average than those of
teachers. These low salaries have re-
suited in serious teacher shortage
throughout the country. The demand
for teachers is SO great that students
leave normal schools when their
courses have been but half COM
pleted. An alarmingly large proper
emergency teachers lacking in proper
training for their work.
Reports from the cities of this sur
vey show that so per cent of the
teachers in the elementary schools of
American cities have had less than
six and one-third years of training
beyond the eighth grade: that so per
cent of the junior high school teach
ers have had less than seven years
training beyond. and that so per cent
of the senior high school teachers
have had less than eight and one-half
years.

ATHENS, october 1s.-Tuberculosis

with the possible exception of Serbia.
There is no governmental or private
program for the control of the dis
ease. The number of physicians in
proportion to the population is one to
every 1900.
In the city of Athens the death rate
from tuberculosis of the lungs is 294
per 100000 of population. which is
about twice as high as the rate in
the United States. The other forms
of the disease also are present. max
ing the total tuberculosis death rate
365 per 100000 of population. One
death in every six is due to tubercu-
losis.
To deal with the disease the ex-
listing agencies are very inadequate.
There is little or no hospital pro-
vision for the care of the bulk of
the population Of 100000. There
are less than a score of general hos
pitfalls in the country.
