TEACHER PROBLEM
Acute Situation Reported By
School Heads.

Boise, Idaho. America will
suffer a shortage of school teachers
in 1920 1921 even more serious
than that now being experienced,
predicted DR.. E. A. Bryan, state
commissioner Of education, on
Monday as he summed up for
Idaho instructors developments at
the recent National Education
association in convention in Cleve-
land.
"Not only did school superin-
tendents generally report very
acute shortage of teachers this
vear," the commissioner said, " but
they presented figures showing
that the crop of new teachers in
the normal schools is far below the
average and that the number Of
high school graduates intending to
enter the teaching profession is far
less than usual.
"The shortage of teachers is
closely bound up with the problem
of teachers salaries,' the commits
sioner added.
Maintenance CT high teaching
standards in American schools Wed
with Americanization projects for
first place in importance at recent
educational conferences in Cleve-
land, according to Ethel E. Red
field, state superintendent of public
instruction.
The state superintendent found
the same sentiment everywhere to
which Commissioner Bryan
referred. States that have main
tanned teaching standards in the
face of shortage of teachers were
highly commended, she said, while
the states that had let down the
bars to inferior teachers were un-
pleasantly criticised.
Americanization was an import
ant subject, said Miss Redheld.
Steps were taken at Cleveland to
co ordinate the work of the various
states in the Americanization of
foreigners to the end that no class
or classes should be overlooked. 1t
was generally admitted that this
type of education deserves a place
OF high consideration in the educa-
tlonal world.
