Cleveland Meetings to Take
Up Teacher Shortage, More
Paw and Other Matters.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, February % tby
the Associated Press).-More than g.
900 delegates have registered to at
tend the semi-centennial meeting Of
the Department Of superintendent of
the National Education Association
and nifty other policy determining
bodies Of the educational field from
all parts of the country. Approx
mately 5000 delegates are expected to
he on hand when the first meeting of
the department of superintendence
opens tomorrow morning
During the week many leading edu-
Gators of the country will discuss edu-
cational problems and the convention
will adopt resolutions respecting So
lutiOnS.
Subjects to He Conaidered.
The great shortage Of teachers, the
finding of approximately $4,000 well
trained teachers to take positions
either vacant or filled with incom-
petents now. according to prominent
educators. and the question OF mimi
mum salary schedule Of $1,000 per an
mum for beginners. and maximum
of $2,100 as a reward for unusual
merit for the 100000 elementary
school teachers of the country. now
receiving $500 per annum. according
to the report of the bureau of educa-
discussion before the convention.
Other important questions will in
clude:
Passage of the Smith Tower bill:
universal military training; health
crusades throughout the school sys-
tens. including a concrete program
for physical culture: broadening of
Americanization work as applied to
schools and teachers; affiliation of
teachers organizations with labor
unions: necessity Of teaching patriot
ism in the public schools and whether
a course in patriotism should be made
a part of the curriculum. -
The Smith-Towner bill, creating an
additional federal cabinet position.
has caused much speculation among
the delegates as to whether a man or
woman should be chosen for the post
in the event the bill passes.
Woman May Seek Position.
Among those mentioned as candi-
dates for the position in case the bill
becomes law is Mrs. Mary c. c.
Bradford. superintendent of public in
struction for Colorado and past presi-
dent of the National Education Asso-
citation.
Mrs. Bradford, when asked her
opinion as to whether or not de-
mand for a woman secretary Of edu-
cation would be made, said:
whether q man or q woman fills
this important position is Of small mo-
ment.
1T has been said one reason women
have lent their adherence to the crea-
tion of a department of education is
that they intend to urge the appoint
ment of woman as the first secre-
tary of education. Personally, 1 do
not believe this is so.
while all thinking women would

Of such an Office. yet do not believe
that this hope has motivated the ac-
tion of the hundreds Of thousands of
American women who have indorsed
the bill. It is my hope that the bill

man or woman, may be ideally fitted
to serve the children OF the nation"

State Department was informed to-day.
The names Of the two men are given

The situntion in Urca is grave, and
foreign residents are in serious dan
ger. according to official advices reach

soldiers were reported to be robbing
Russian residents in Urga. All tele-

Trumblc's wife saw the shot fred
that killed her husband. Her two sons,
aged four and two, were asleep in an
adjoining room.
Back Of the shooting is a feud be-
tween Canadian liquor law enforce
ment officers and rum runners. A maze
of contradictory statements shrouds
the actual facts Of the shooting.
Mr Spracklin and his aids assert
that the pastor fired the fatal shot

Trumble insists that her husband was

DUBLIN, Nov. c. More armed
clashes between Irish volunteers and
the Grown forces in various parts of
the country were reported tonight
Because of interruptions in the tele-
graph service and the fact that the
guerilla battles usually take the form
of ambushes in the middle of the night,
it is difficult TO get accurate details
From the different semi official ac-
counts of the trays it is clear that
trouble in Ireland is taking a new and
ominous form. Instead of being con-
fined to isolated attacks upon police
men or police rcprisals on towns, this
weeks conflicts have In many cases
been pitched battles between heavily
armed volunteers, actually part of the
republican army" and large bodies of
the police and military.
The Evening Herald to night reports
a desperate battle between armed civil
ians and the forces of the Crown at
Ardfert, a little village near Tralee.
Many civilians were wounded, about
twenty were captured and one girl of
fifteen was shot dead.
Soldier Killed in Fight
At Youghal early to-day what was
apparently an attempt to capture a
police barracks by large number of
armed civilians was broken up and re-
pulsed In subsequent fighting in the
streets of the town at least one soldier
was killed.
Police and military proceeding in
iorrcs from Tralec to Causeway, in
County Kerry, in response to report
that armed civilians were gathering
there, came in contact with about thirty
civilians at the village of Green and
after an exchange of shots dispersed
the rebels.
In various other parts of the coun-
try the police or military are reported
to have broken up "unlawful assem-
blies. " 1t is only a short step from
this condition to one of actual rebel
lion. Meanwhile the situation in the
sacked town Of Tralce that l described
yesterday is growing worse hourly. No
country people came into the village
to-day. The Black and Tans continued
their incessant patrol of the streets in
whizzing armored cars, with their
rifles threatening every passerby. All
businesses in the town remain shut
down.
The police were reported in one dis
patch to be holding the bakeries at
the point of the bayonet, driving away
women and children, but this undoubt-
