New York Facing
Break Down OF
School System

As indicating the seriousness of the
school teacher problem throughout the
country, the following significant
statement of. Hon. John II. Finley,
commissioners of education of New
York City is extremely pertinent:
AS an officer of the State, charged
with certain responsibilities touching
the schools, | am under obligation to
bring to public attention, certain eX-
listing conditions that e%ndangpr the
effectiveness of our public school
system. AT a time when greater de
mands are made upon public oduca-
ton than ever before in the history
of u country, we are confronted with
a substantial lessening both in the
number and in the professional train
ing of Il teaching force.
Il. A larger percentage of teachers
are leaving the service to enter other
professions and callings.
"2. The teacher-training institutions
have not nor than 60 per cent of
their pre-war registration, while uni
versities, colleges, secondary schools
and other professional schools are
generally crowded beyond the records
in the past.
''A'h''AiAiAS ~ OAA' VI q NAliN
amental, thorough-going nature, "a
to keep our best teachers, (2) to in
duce our best young men and ONE
in high schools and colleges to enter
this high calling.
"If there is a continuing depletion
at the present rate, the State will find
its public school system at the break
ing point.
II am convinced that the people of
the State will not let it come to this
if they are but made fully aware Of
the existent conditions and Of the con-
sequent peril to the continuance of
our free institutions whose fundament-
al support is the public school.
THE State of New York last year
gave intimation of this in practically
doubling the contribution toward
teachers salaries through the State"

zen. 81
When the. text of this resolution
was made public, Consult General

HID STOLEN GOLD
IN WOODEN LEG

DENVER. Feb. 5-Orville Harring-
ton, forty-one, skilled worker in the
Denver mint was arrested early to-
day by Holland X. Goddard, chief of
the local branch of the Federal secret
service on a charge of having robbed
the Denver mint of gold bullion valued
at more than $4,000 A search of
HarringtOn's home revealed the gold
bars buried and hidden in various
parts of the premises and all of it
was recovered, according to Goddard,
Harrington, the officers say, carried
the bars out of the mint concealed in
a hollow artificial leg, which he wore.
Because OF the unusual means taken
to get the gold out of the mint the
officers were unable to locate the
source of the thefts for several days.
Harrington was arrested as he was
coming off shift, a search of his per
son disclosing a $1400 bar of gold hid
den in the false leg.
