INLAND TEACHERS TALK
OF. PAY AND SHORTAGE

Americanization both of foreigners
and Americans was one OF the chief
topics discussed at the convention of
the Inland Empire Teachers Associa-
tion which closed last evening in Spo-
kane. The convention endorsed a
minimum of 1920 for grade school
teachers with two years OF normal
school preparation.
Ways and means of attracting better
trained persons TO the teaching profess
sion and holding them, were taken up.
The great shortage OF instructors in
the country, especially in the east and
south. was shown and as an antidote
for this condition in the four big
states OF the northwest. the convention
endorsed a state tax for support of Its
educational institutions.
1t was Informally agreed that the
present differentiation In pay for grade
and high school teachers, of equal
preparation and ability, was unjust.
but no resolutions changing the sys-
tenn were passed. w. w. Green. coun-
~ superintendent. and f. c. Fitzpat-
rick. OF Weston. attended the conven-
ton and returned this morning.
