CHILDREN TURNED
OUT OF SCHOOLS

New York. March 1s.--Ir an effort
to formulate immediate measures to
meet the critical shortage Of teachers
throughout the country. DR.. John H.
Finley. state commissioner OF educA-
ton. called an interstate conference
at the chamber Of commerce here, 10
which the United States commissioner
of education and the state commis-
sioners OF education OF Maine, New
Hampshire. Vermont. Rhode Island.
New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Vast Viz
ginia and Michigan were invited.
The teacher shortage In this city u
so acute that a citizens committee OF
100 has been organised at the invita-
ton of the public education associa-
ton to save the schools for the chill
dren." Its purpose Ii to get for tho
teachers SUFFICIENT pay to enable them
to remain and to attract new teachers
to fifl the vacancies. -4---s-
According to William L. Ettinger,
superintendent OF schools, more than
$4,000 children were turned out OF
the schools between January % and
February II and about $4,000 were
sent home last week because of the
teacher shortage Doubling cinsses
breaks down the teaching force, and
children are sent home when they
lack teachers, and this lowers the
morale OF the system.
Support was recommended of Or.
Eiuley's measure to give 40 per cent
increase to all receiving less than
$4,000 annually, 80 per cent more TO
those receiving $4,000 or less. and 70
per cent to those ,r<1Hving more
August Thomas. commissioner or
education of Maine. said that between
4 crhnn1c thaYa closed
because of tbs shortage, and there Is
little hope OF recruiting enough new
teachers to restore the system in Sep
tember Nearly 200 OF the teachers
have had no training whatever. and
practically 100 are inexperienced
About 80 per cent OF the men have
left
Maine has had exceptionally low
ga laries-s12ST weekly in rural
schools and about SIT week In the
cities. The wage schedule Ia advance
ing to 5000 to s1,2o0 for elementary
teachers and from $1,000 TO $4,000
for high schools
Calvin n Kendall. commissioner OF
education in New Jersey, said that
although no schools were closed in
his state, from zoo to 500 out of $4,000
were in the hands OF inadeQuetely
trained teachers. A reimbursement OF
salaries rather than an increase was
needed. The schools were competing
with Industries. and they must oher
more attractive conditions II they
would attract capable teachers. Bust
ness firms treat employees more hu-
namely than do school boards. and
there must be readjurtment OF
methods to compete with the former.
Consolidation OF rural one-room
schools were needed to offer sufficient
inducement now.
Or. Finley proposed the establish
ment OF national training schools

ducements as generous as those 10
